The 10.5 is like shooting a 16" Mosin nagant m44. The guys at Radical when i talked to them said "It's pretty intense and actually kinda painful to shoot". So, take that however you want. I have one arriving this coming week in 16" rifle form. The stock and grip they use are pretty horrible though.

I can actually shoot my M44 all day without issues. 3.5" slugs out of a pump shotgun on the other hand are another question, haha. Actually, thinking about it some more. If I got a 10.5" barrel that wasn't going to be used on my pistol, I would probably have a hard time finding a muzzle device that had a large enough diameter opening for the .50 round and also be long enough to meet the 16" bbl. |

I have a 12.5 beowulf from Alexander Arms. It is... An expiriece. It's not the recoil, the recoil is about the same as a 20 gauge shotgun. The concussion is was gets you. It's a good feeling.

I have a 16" and it's awesome! I wouldn't want anything shorter.

I ordered the 10.5" last week. Not sure how long it'll take to show up. Site says 6-8 weeks.

Did they give you status updates or how did you keep track of your order during the process? I've only gotten a order receipt/confirmation. |

JUST DO IT! This is an Alexander Arms 12" upper that I had cut down to 10.5"
I'd compare the recoil more to a 12 gauge than a 20 gauge. But the comment about the concussion is completely accurate. You feel that big bang in your manly chest! No hipsters are allowed to shoot this rifle because they would cry!

I wasn't able to find much for ballistic data on short barrels. I wouldn't think it would hurt it too bad? That's a complete guess though.

I believe its something like 100 FPS and 200 ft lbs going from 16-12.5" so 10.5 is probably slightly more. I know when using much heavier projectiles you can lose as much as 3-400 ft lbs of energy.

It still will completely DESTROY anything put in front of it even at the 10.5" barrel length. Check out my Instagram. I have a few videos of exploding watermelons. Username is tactic_al
