How is this gun in terms of Quality? Accuracy? Longgevity? etc...

Love mine. You gotta have high scope rings in order for the cheek rest to clear the bolt. Here's the case I have for mine. I don't have to break down the rifle to use it. But with the AR50 inside, she's a heavy bitch.

Bout to take the step into the .50 cal and I have found, a pretty good buy, but I need some first hand opinions. first, I assume it is, but is ....$1500 a good price for an AR50? second, the most difficult, can a lefty shoot it ok, and/or is there a cheek rest adapter thing to make it more comfortable for a lefty? The bolt action actually works fine for me, but the cheek rest is obviously in an akward position. Thanks. |
The AR-50 has even less felt recoil then a M82, you can shoot the AR-50 all day long and never feel any worse for wear. Another plus is if you have plugged sinus's it will clear it up for you and if you don't like the person sitting next to you, it will blow all their stuff off the bench!

| I like mine alot. I use low rings and have no problem. I have a husky case which is a custom job they run about 350 bucks but are well worth it. have rollers and are custom cut for your set up and needs. You just send in a cut out of what you want and they cut for you. A little spendy but I don't have to break down my rifle to move it (minus the bipod that is). Find a boresnake right away for it and keep the barrel clean. |
| I just received my one piece Armalite 30mm scope mount and my BagMaster heavy weapons case and I was told the Armalite mount would be too low and the cheek piece would interfere with the bolt, mounted in all up last night with my new Super Sniper 20X and with the cheek rest all the way down there was no problem and I really like the one piece mount. the case is incredible, nicely padded throughout and extra heavy padding along the zippers edge, great case well worth the money. |

This is the case I have been using for my AR-50. Fits perfectly, got wheels, no disassembly required. www.exploreproducts.com/guardforcegds-9290cwguncase.htm |
I already have a hard case...a very good one at that. I was just wondering for the guys who go out and pay 150+ bucks on a soft case then need to buy a hard case for air travel.  just gotta get the mono pod now Ive been delaying on that for some reason. you like yours? |

I've purchased a used (but unfired) ar-50 and it came with an adapter for a harris or simular bipod. I was under the understanding that Armalite offered a bipod for the gun. I was unable to find it on their website. Does anyone have an idea where I might be able to look for both the bipod and the monopod. Are there dealers on the EE that are fair to deal with in ordering either of these two items. Thanks for your assistance from a 50 cal nubie. lumper. |

Contact Darin, a.k.a. Prince50 and tell him that Shawn sent you. He makes the bipod adaptor, bipod and monopod for the AR-50 for Armalite. He also makes a thumbscrew set for the bolt release, checkrest and the buttpad, I highly recommend the bolt release one. Here's his email [email protected] |
Nice base! Who makes that, and how much did you pay...if you dont mind me asking? |
thanks 50_Shooter, I will let him know who sent me. lumper |
it's the Armalite one piece 30mm mount. I was told this mount was too low and would interfere with the cheek piece, there is no problem with this mount on my AR50, with the cheek piece all the way down I can still function the bolt without a problem. |
Does Husky have a web site Nick?
|
hey sorry on the late reply didn't notice the post when you made it. its pretty general just http://huskycases.com/ the problem is that they have some frightening ladies on it that were quite sure are goregous..... You send in a cardboard cut out of what you want and they cut it down. I can get you better pics if you like next weekend. |
