Anyone here own one of these uppers?

What do you think of it?

No Beowulf - X....

Never owned a Beowulf, but I have owned .458 SOCOM and .499 LWR uppers.



They are cool, but expensive as hell to shoot. I just stick with the cheaper calibers now.

I will make one mine someday.  Just need another bear scare and the wife will jump onboard

Does the .458 use a 5.56 bolt?

That's another one that interests me. And yeah, I'm sure any of the big bores are pricey to shoot.

Enjoy mine and so does everyone else that shoots it.

Ammo was pretty hard to obtain besides pretty expensive when you could get it
I finally sold it during the panic for a nice chunk of change.

I've had one since they first came out.... I don't shoot it much but really enjoy shooting it when I do.

It's nice to see people all around you stop and stare when all the other AR 's aren't making the same amount of noise/concussion as the Wulf is

Same here, sold it during the panic.   Ammo was hard to find, hell even brass was hard to get, last time I checked.   Unless things have changed, I hope you reload.  

It was a fun gun though.   It was my hog hunting gun.   Nothing more fun that rolling up 200+ lbs  hog like they ain't shit!!!!    The Rainer 335gr HPs  would fuck their world up!!!!

Fun blaster, especially if you reload.

Get one.

I have several buddies that deer hunt with them here in Indiana. I've been wanting to try one of their uppers on my M16, but that's an expensive mag dump! I made some flash hiders for them.

I'm wanting one. Do they make a double stack mag for those? If I had one I'd have to reload for it. (Which is no problem) Brass runs about $70 a 100

Standard AR mags are used in single stack configuration for this caliber since the lower is spec'd to a standard AR lower I believe.

I use the 30 round PMAGS on mine, and fit 10 rounds of BEO.  I would imagine the 40 round PMAGs could squeeze an additional 3 or 4 rounds.

They start binding in the 40s. I got some of the .499 strait mags when they were on clearance from PRI

I had one years ago when they first came out but then sold it.  Still kicking my ass over that one.  I reload now so I really want to get another one.  Very fun gun to shoot.



First time I had it out shooting with my buddies I pulled it out out of the case and said watch this.  Aimed at about a 7 in diameter pine tree and pulled the trigger.  I was just expecting a decent exit hole with the bark blown off around and behind it like when I did it by myself earlier that week.   The whole damn pine tree splintered where I shot it and fell over.  I don't know what was going on inside that tree but it sure was impressive.

.450 Bushmaster for the win. Ammo high, but not giraffe pussy high like the .50 and the .458. I can fit 9 of these in the sig 5.56 mags, though I've never needed more than one.

Ha, I did the same thing with a .458.





Boom...oh shit the tree is falling (running to get out of the way of falling tree)



GA pines really do not stand up to the big bores apparently.

Large caliber ARs are a ton of fun to shoot!  I have a .450 Bushmaster.  Runs great!

I feel like Bevis with the retard laugh every time I pull the trigger. You have got to try it, but don't just punch paper. It just wrecks anything you shoot with it!  Surprisingly accurate as well. I handed it off to an AR newbie I brought to the range for the first shot of an AR. He was hitting golf balls at 100 yards and skinning the cores out.
