Not anymore. You missed the registration period by a couple of days. And you woulda had to have built it before Jan 1st, 2005.

You can build a receiver for one of the .50 wildcat rounds.

Or design your own round from a .50, by shortening the cartridge, different bullet, or some other mod.

look up .510 DTC. Same projectile, same case, just slightly different dimensions.

The answer would be a firm "NO".

But it is only for .50BMG. You can still make the receivers other than .50BMG such as 510DTC, 50AE, .50Wildcat, .50Beuwolf.....etc.

CQB applications, of course!

The EOTech is on there until I can get a nice Nightforce NXS on it...... in about a year... It works great for current use, though

I don't know about where to get .510 DTC ammo. Serbu Firearms will custom engrave anything nearly anywhere on your rifle - just ask them.

I would choose to engrave "FCADOJ" or "RKBA".How

There's a guy on Biggerhammer that loads custom .50 BMG ammo, he has also started loading .50 DTC. I think his name is Tim T, just go over there and ask, if he doesn't answer right away someone will post his contact info.

Right now there's only two companies chambering for .50 DTC, Serbu and EDM ARMS.

I have never seen .510dtc ammo for sale. You can order the dies from CH Tool.

From a web page:
Thus, the 510 DTC EUROP cartridge will not fit in a .50 BMG chamber, and the .50 BMG cartridge will not fit in a 510 DTC EUROP chamber. Importantly, the 510 DTC EUROP is California legal. Loading data for the .50 BMG can be used in the 510 DTC EUROP. Loading dies are available from C-H Tool & Die Co., reamers are available from JGS Precision Tool Mfg., and Dave Manson Precision Reamers, and rifles are available from EDM Arms (421 Business Ctr. Ct., Dept. GWK, Redlands, CA 92373; phone: 909-798-2770; on-line: www.edm-arms.com), or Tom S. Miller of TSM Consulting & Firearms Sales at: www.extremefirearms.com.

If you aren't reloading, 50s are going to get pretty expensive. 2-4 bucks a pop adds up.

Use 50bmg cases, size in the .510 die, and use pulled projectiles. RVOW.com has them.
