I'm researching 50 BMG guns right now.

I also liked the serbu bfg50a, however, I read too many people having cycling and other issues. This has put me off on the gun. Just search around and you will read about them, too many people having problems.

This is just my take on it. I usually like to avoid firearms when I read too many independent issues. I've made exceptions sometimes and always had the same issues.

I'm thinking of maybe it isn't worth buying a semi automatic. I know it is nice and all but not worth the trouble and price. Buying a cheaper bolt and maybe when the guns get cheaper and improve consider a semi automatic.

I've had mine since August of 2011.  It short stroked on some Argintine ammo when I first got it.  All other ammo worked fine.
After about 50 rounds, the Argintine ammo started cycling fine as well.  I have never had any trouble with the gun.

Funny you should ask.......

I am running a Serbu BFG50A, BFG50, and a SU-15 upper GB on another forum.  I posted the info just last night.  The offer is open to anyone, but you might want to get approved on the other site, to facilitate the transfer of information and questions/answers.

I am not sure if the Mods on Ar15 are ok with me posting a link to this GB, so I will ask first, in order to avoid any issues.



The issues brought up about Serbu's Semi auto 50 are in the past.  The cycling issue was due in part to under powered ammo.  Not enough energy to throw the bolt all the way back to engage the next round.  That was also impacted by a spring which Serbu replaced on the Semi as well.  I have a semi and have yet to experience any malfunction at all.  

When you hold one of these beasts in your arms, one can appreciate the attention that was put into crafting this baby.  The bolt is a smooth as butter.

In addition to this GB, we also did a separate Gb for Trigger work on these rifles.  About a dozen guys took advantage of the trigger work and all said it was well worth it.  

At some point we will run the 50 BMG ammo GB.  Need to get this GB up and running before I continue with the others....

If you want some info on this, send me a PM.

I do hate to bring a 2 year old post back, but I just have to ask...

So are the newer Serbu BFG50A rifles "good to go" today?  Yea, I guess that 50 bug is starting to bite me again.
All of the posts and videos I have seen are a little old, and I just wanted to try to see what all of the BFG owners are thinking today.
My feeling is that if I get much older, I might not be able to enjoy the rifle due to the recoil (I am a small guy).  So now is the time, if I make my mind up...

Go research biggerhammer.net
It started about 1990. I was a member and still am.  It is where Mark Serbu's rifles got their start.  They have the old site arcived and the new site is there too. Read and enjoy.

Biggerhammer is now listed on www.machinegunboards.com

Go on the forum and scroll down to the bottom, you'll see the listing for it. You can open the archives from inside of the forum.

It's totally dead now, I've tried posting there as have some others but it's nothing like it once was. Most of the people in the industry got started there or posted on the board. That's how small the .50 community used to be!

I had a Serbu like 15 years ago, I sold it before I ever fired it.

Off topic but do they still offer the "have a nice day" inscription on the front of the muzzle brake?
Imagine a man when it all began
The pilot of "Enola Gay"
Flying out of the shockwave on that August day
All the powers that be, and the course of history,
Would be changed forevermore...

Not sure if they do, you can call and ask. Hell Mark might even pick up the phone and talk to you.
