I both scared, and strangely aroused.
Scared for my wallet, but aroused by the prospect.

Nope, they have devoted to much R&D to that new PSAK74

I'd be all over a single shot .50BMG upper for an AR lower. Not like the R&D would be lengthy. It's already been done a couple of times.

Has it been done on a -10 lower for only single shot, or does it get a steroid shot and scaled up for 50 bmg?

I think mag fed .50 would be a trip, even internal mag.

It's not like it's a carry gun...

Singe shot bolt action for AR15 lowers. would work better on an AR10, probably.

@PalmettoStateArmory is strangely quiet on this one. It could be because Josiah is busy with Shot Show. Or it could be that the rumors of the PA50 are true

If rather see a 10mm carbine than a 50BMG as I already own one.

I don’t know the Serbu Safety Harbor and similar guns are pretty proven. Think I picked up my Safety Harbor for $1600 and change on a Black Friday special. It will do more than enough for what most people are looking for in a 50. I ordered mine with a 18” so I could use it for cqb

But the dude that wants RPR in 50bmg for less than a normal RPR is out of his mind.

I’m not saying that. I’m saying that people who hunt deer tend not to use 50 BMG, and generally don’t hunt deer at 1000 yards. The market for a 1000 dollar 2 MOA 50 BMG rifles doesn’t include many deer hunters.

Bring it in under the RN50 (which is, IIRC $1250), but with PSA quality, and it'll be a $1K gun all day long.

Isn't that why the .510(or maybe .50) DTC was developed? Move the shoulder so a .50BMG won't chamber and use same loading data, for BMG performance in states that ban .50BMG by name?

There isn't any reason .50 has cost $1k plus. It needs a bigger action and barrel blank, but it could be designed to use lots of off the shelf parts. If you can do $350 AR's a $700 .50 should be easy. Build them.

The paperwork is pretty simple, but the investment to spin up actual manufacturing is rather prohibitive.

There isn't anything special about the .50 BMG. It is just big. The limited market keeps the price up and the price keeps sales down.

Comment made it sound like it was easy to corner the market and I believe differently. If it was truly super profitable one of the big boys would have stepped in already.

It’s a pretty small market especially on the cheap end of things. The top end has blown up more than I ever imagined it would. I still don’t get the Barrett pricing structure but I’m glad they are continuing to sell them. I would love to have a suppressed semi auto eventually and the more players the better the competition.

I never said anything about cornering the market. I'm talking about a run of 500 to cover costs and test the market. I think this would be consistent with the stated goals of PSA.

$699 Daily Deal.

So from what I can find, the BATF has singled out this round as making the upper a weapon on it's own, which then requires you to route this thru an FFL as though it were a lower, which I think is bullshit, and does not follow any rational reason to classify this differently than any other AR upper.

I think you'd still need a trigger group to fire the upper no matter what caliber the barrel is, so how can an upper be called a weapon on it's own without a means to release the firing pin?

Is this still in effect for .50 BMG?
