Pretty sure that would be a great way to damage a new upper.

The only thing that I ever heard about these being interchangeable were the prospected Hi Cap mags and the supposed use of them with the 50 Beo and .458 SOCOM.  Do not think they ever had a chance of coming to fruition though.  But I am not 100% sure.

NO! LW and AA are not on friendly terms, so why would one make a weapon system to use the other's ammo?  Espiecially when they are proprity rounds.

IMO you bought the wrong UPPER

No....please do not use .50 Beowulf ammo. It is not compatible.

Contact [email protected] for ammo and brass.
