How would the gas key get past the charging handle?  It's a carbine buffer which is shorter than a rifle buffer. If you really want to use this buffer on a rifle get a Sully stock which uses a CAR length buffer and spring. |

I just put an MGI buffer in an ACE skel stock (A-1 length), I think the only difference between the CAR and STD MGI buffer is that a STD comes with a plug thats added first to the tube to prevent the buffer from traveling too far, maybe an extension plug would work foir you....

When I got my MGI it had the buffer and the delrin plug. I emailed them and asked about it and they said that the plug was used with the rilfe length and not used with the car or collabsable stock tube. |

Buffers must be mated to the proper buffer tube(receiver extension). The length of the buffers is matched to the tube lengths.
The MGI RRB buffer is a carbine length buffer, and can be ordered with an extension spacer rod for rifle length systems. Please specify rifle or carbine length when ordering. Using a carbine buffer in a rifle length buffer tube can cause destruction of the lower receiver, due to overtravel of the bolt carrier. |

Doc, is that the RRA extended mounting platform on your Wulfie? I really debated the extended platform but ended up going with the Scout rail... Does the extended rail have any problems staying put under the .50's recoil? |

Darkstar,
Yep, that is the RRA rail. I haven't had any loosening yet, but I may sell it in order to save some weight. Going to try an Aimpoint first, and see how the cheek weld is. IF it is too high, will probably sell/trade it for BUIS's. Doc |

Nice carbine edpmedic. That's the exact YHM handguard that I was considering. I bet those uncovered rails are nasty if you shoot it offhand though

OK, damn.....Ican get the DPMS from Brownell's at the dealer price, so I was hoping it wouild work. All the rifle length 5.5 buffers seem to be much more expensive. If I am going to have to pay $100, I will do without it awhile longer. Thanks for the info. |

GRIZ ......I do have the covers to put on it if need be. I also find that with a verticle grip it is better to shoot freehand. I still rather use the bipod it is to much recoil for my neck yet trying to hold it.
My AR30 in 338 feels like a 22 compared to this. The only other thing with about the same recoil is my Super 90 M4 shotgun. I have neck pain after shooting that. |

Great pic Parrendero,
If had seen that when I bought it , it would have cleared it all up as far as installation. Thomas, Something like that would be good for Mack to include with them, just in case anybody else has the same problem I did. |

Who made that vert grip ?
How does the limbsaver perform with the 50? I thought about getting one of those before I went down the other path. |

The vert grip was just something I picked up at a gunshow, don't know who makes it. It mounts to any picatinny (sp?) rail and I got a small rail to mount throught the holes in the front handguard. It works great, really helps control muzzle flip. The Limbsaver is probably the most important thing I have done to it, takes recoil from borderline punishing to almost too mild. I take it off to show new shooters because with it on they say it is not all that powerfull a gun (with the pad off there is a different look on thier faces after they shoot it :)
In short, I really like the setup and am just considering learning to reload so I can afford to shoot it more ;) RGUARD P.s. Check out the Video Beowulf Rapid Fire |

Here is my creation. I got the ideas for most of the "ingredients" from the other Beowulf postings - thanks everybody!
I built this around a Rock River stripped lower. The other components are: * MGI buffer, Tubb chrome silicon buffer spring * Limbsaver recoil pad, SPR adjustable buttplate (milled flat & thinner), shorter Cavalry Arms A1 stock (to compensate the thicker recoil pad) * Jewell adjustable trigger * Alexander Arms muzzle brake * Armalite Alostyr handguard, Tango Down panels, Hogue pistol grip * IOR 1.1-4x26 CRT scope, Mark 4 rings TJ http://img97.exs.cx/img97/2452/Beowulf1.jpg http://img97.exs.cx/img97/4022/Beowulf2.jpg |

Keep them coming fella's! Since when I see one that I like, I start to think about what I could do to mine to make better
Since seeing everyones' I have added the MRI, Wolff Spring and ACE A1 Stock Plus the 1" butt pad mainly to give me more lenght on stock. Since I'm so long armed. Bigant |

Work in progress here:
My Beowulf before adding the Muzzle Brake  Getting there! Just installed the Alexander Arms Muzzle Brake and waiting for the glue to dry!   Currently: - Bushmaster "Post Ban" Lower - Single Stage trigger job by www.williamstriggerspecialties.com Dropped trigger pull weight from 6.6 pounds with lots of creep to 4.25 pounds and no felt creep. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! - 1st Generation EOTech Red Dot sight - Cav Arms Furniture in Coyote Brown - John Masen Brand Rubber Recoil Pad - MGI Recoil Buffer - Wolff +10% Recoil Springs - Alexander Arms Muzzle Brake Just waiting on the 100 rounds to get here from Midway and it's off to the range to blow things up. |

Would the factory muzzle brake have to be remobed to add a FF tube??? and if so has anyone removed a brake?

Hey wave how's the AA muzzle brake install ? Looks like set screws and what kind of glue? I made my own brake and attached with 4 set screws no glue , looks simmular to AA's.

The install is super easy. I have yet to fire a shot thru this rifle so I'm still kind of skeptical on the glue. We'll see what happens, I have yet to hear of any $180 bullets flying downrange!

It's not coming off. The Loctite is some serious stuff. As long as you let it sit the recommeded time to cure, (72hours I think) no problems. I did it to mine and I've put about 175 rounds through it without any problems. |

My most recent purchase was a 'wulf. Now how is it pronounced?
bee-you-wulf? or bay-wulf? or something else? I thought it was the first one, but today at a gun store, someone pronounced it bay-wulf. i figured since i own one, i should be able to pronounce it at least. |

Main Entry: Be·o·wulf
Pronunciation: 'bA-&-"wulf Function: noun : a legendary Geatish warrior and hero of the Old English poem Beowulf I've always pronounced it "bay-uh-wulf" |

I'll have to get some pics of my 'Wulf to post. I shot it for the first time yesterday. I shot a big ground squirrel at 93 yards. Then he was only half as big !
 My 13 year old Daughter shot about 10 rounds and LOVED it. She said "It kicks a little though". |
