| I am considering picking up the Alexander Arms upper. The only way I can afford to shoot it much would be reload so I've been looking into that as well. I have a few concerns though as I seem to remember people saying they beat the hell out of your buttstock. Is this true? I have a Magpul stock that I bought. I'd rather not have the Beuwolf wreck my stock for the $200 price tag I got it for. It's a collapsable stock so I assume there will be a decent force on keeping it extended. Will it tear apart my stock? I've seen the uppers at Cabela's, is there a cheaper place? |

I would honestly go with a 50AE upper. Ammo is widely available and is 90% of the power of 50 beuwolf. They have been around lomger and are very reliable. I have one that shoots sub moa at 100. Nice. Collapsible stock doesn't make much sense on a 50 pistol AR. Recoil is heavy compared to 223, and twice the power. |
What do you mean by that? I have a collapsable stock for summer when I shoot without a coat and winter when I have a few layers on. Not shooting a pistol. |
Tromix no longer produces those. And it's more than 90%... .50 Beowulf can put out a 400 gr. flat point at 1,800 fps from a 16" barrel. |
I've never had any problem with my Beowulf beating up my stock. I've got an ACE full length stock on it. However, I have shot it with a collapsible stock, actually a couple of times it was full auto.  I'd compare recoil to about a 12 gauge, very manageable. ETA Check out the Variants forum in the AR-15 section. You'll probably get a lot more responses about the Beowulf, 458 Socom, etc. This one is mostly for 50 BMG. I've got the Beowulf, now I'm working on getting the Big 50.
