Palmetto State Armory PA50??

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Palmetto State Armory PA50?? (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 1/21/2019 10:07:37 PM EDT

Is @PalmettoStateArmory developing a 50 BMG rifle? Asking for a friend, definitely not starting an internet rumor in order to persuade a manufacturer to continue to bend to the hive’s wet dreams like they did with those custom AR lowers. But maybe I heard something about it...

so overtorqued barrel nuts and meme lowers are fun and all

but a cheap .50 is not a good thing

unless it's not going to explode

in which case there's a market and interest

so please provide details

Boy, you're on a roll with 50 BMG this weekend!

If PSA can bring an acceptably accurate (2 MOA) 50 BMG to market along the format of the Ruger Precision Rifle, they will own the market at a price point around 1,000 dollars. Nothing fancy, maybe a 3 round fixed magazine, a simple free floated barrel and an effective brake.

single shot .50 plz

I can't even afford to shoot my 458. Please do not do this, PSA.

Should I send them the deed to my house now or do you think they will just be okay with having it willed to them?

I wish they did payroll deduction or some kind of subscription gun-o-the-quarter club.

A single-shot bolt-action .50BMG shouldn't be all that expensive to produce. Good quality and simplicity of design would work. Single-shot, tubular receiver with pic rail welded on top. I'd buy one.

Hell, just adapt the PTRS-41 design with a scope mount and good barrel.

I’ve heard they are coming out with 4 versions of the PSA50.

2 are the lower end basic models in a pistol and rifle version.

The other 2 have the nicer Magpul furniture and pistol and rifle version.

Was told by my buddy that they are all single shot and will be priced under $550 mark. Shipping in second quarter 2019.

One would think so. There's no magic to it. 50 BMG produces a certain amount of pressure and bolt thrust, which can be countered by using a sufficiently strong steel alloy with sufficient dimensions. Who cares if it's 45 pounds. No one is going hunting with it, and a heavy rifle will help to absorb the recoil to make shooting more pleasant.

AR style 50? No.

If it's magazine fed, I'm interested. None of that screw cap single shot silliness.

I would rather they focus on AR/AKV/MP5 clone. A .50bmg can wait for after the bans. I'd drop the 1911 too if they have not already and focus on high-cap semi-auto's.

50BMG and cheaply mass produced don't really mix well.

Serbu did a good job for a cheap bolt action, so I would think it would be no problem for PSA at this point.

When the Food Stamps cut off soon that may become a nice thing to have.

Meh, it is relative. I know adults that spent more on Xbox crap last year than I spent on guns.

See, and an MP5 makes no sense to me. It’s not full auto. I can put a 33rd mag in a Glock 19/17/34/17L

I can’t 50 BMG unless I have a 50 BMG

That's not what I mean. PSA's in house stuff isn't exactly top notch and their new stuff never exactly comes out working quite right.

With .50 BMG, that's a hard no from me.

YMMV

A bit under $0.50 for hardcast and $0.75ish for 325gr FTX reloaded. Good thing too, seems like I can't help but shooting it a bunch when I take it out.
