Hey Ed, they also work on Beowulf's...I'd post a pick, but the barrel is still out being threaded.

Do big-bore ARs have any muzzle flash to begin with?

YES.......a lot..... Well the 458 SOCOM does......especially with the factory Corbon load and a 16" naked barrel. My KKM A2 type FH equipped Teppojutsu has next to none using the same ammo. |

This is a 10" barrel, but the 16" barrels are similar.
Click "Save As" -- 458 SOCOM Muzzle Blast  This is NOT me, I believe this is a CMMG Rep..... |

I talked with Arne at Compitition Shooting and he told me that if you threaded the beowulf..the barrel could explode..so if I was you I'd check with alexander arms or someone before doing that Bigant |

No sir...it is slipped on and uses 3 or 4 pins and industrial adhesive. For those of you that dont own a beowulf...if you looked at the end of the barrel it is not thick enough for threads since it is trimmed down for the muzzle break kit from AA,...But I would believe you could make your own if you installed it the same way.

I should have qualified my post, my barrel has been shortend to a point where there is enough material to be threaded, I can't tell you exactly what the diameter is, since it's still not back from being threaded. My post was directed to Shivan only, since we talked last week and he knew my barrel had be cut back.

Well then steve I guess you should have IM'd him if you didnt want anyone to comment....but I was just informing you that if you did that you could possibly hurt yourself...I'm glad you where aware of the danger and had it done right. Yes your right if you did have the barrel shortend than it would have been nice for others to know since what if someone went ahead and threaded the barrel without shortning? They could have gotten hurt. Bigant OUT! |

I had forgotten that AA decided to step taper their barrel. I do recall now thinking how silly a choice that was........oh well. |

Yes, I recall..... I mis-spoke above though, as I forget about AA's step taper. Silly thing to do -- step taper.

Easy there cowboy...... It was a good thing to point out to MOST people. I'm pretty sure Steve is in contact with folks who will not do stupid things that might blow firearms apart. Most competent people would soon realize there was not enough meat on the muzzle end to successfully do the threads -- but I think we can all appreciate your effort to warn us. |

Come to think of it....wasn't AA offering Shrewd brakes? Those require threading.......
Hmm.....maybe I'll IM Arne TX65 for anyone who may want to contact him in regards to the Beowulf. |

I'll be right behind you  Also..Shivan, we can not assume that everyone would realize..since some people take what they read on M-Boards as the holy grail! Bigant |

OK, fine. You are duly granted Net Nanny of Internet Safety status for the AR Variant board.  Darwinism. If you are stupid enough to just do what folks say on the internet, then you get what's coming to you. Stupidity should hurt. Gunsmithing should be left to those who know what they are doing. If you don't know, then ask someone who does........in this case I believe the bases are covered. |

I really like that line.............." if you thread the 50Beowulf barrel, it could EXPLODE!"
That's a good one.........too funny. Lets just say they are correct, which is highly unlikely. Either their barrels are crap or Competition Shooting is completely inept at threading barrels. Pick one. |

Bigant,
You have misquoted my comment to you - a comment made many months ago (I belive it was in March or April) since we havent spoken since then. For those that would like the factual information - One individual took a Beowulf and had the gunsmith shop of a manufacturer known for making AR15's turn down the barrel to leave only 1/10 of an inch of material around the bore and then used a pressed on muzzle brake that constricted the bore. In addition, the person admitted to regularly using their own handloads, not factory loads. The person was quick to post their experience on AR15.com, never outlining their modificiations to the gun and only called Alexander Arms two weeks after the event. Thankfully, the person who owned the gun was not injured by their improper modifications. How does this apply to threading a barrel, simple, make sure you know what you are doing and leave adequete material for strength and safety. Tony Rumore, Since my company was not involved at all in turning down the barrel, nor was the person who owned the Beowulf a customer of mine. Perhaps you would like to reconsider your commentary. |

You are right it has been a little while since we talked...Juneish I apologize for mis qouting you! Also on a side note, that comment by Tony Rumore  is on par for the type of person he is(Now all you rumore backers come to his rescue!) I believe he thinks he's the master of all big bore AR's! Or just pissed that he didnt come up with the .50 beowulf!

Since I am a big supporter of Tony's efforts to get the big bore AR's into the limelight.....I think this thread has served it's useful purpose. There will be a new one posted in a minute, as Tromix is providing a service that a lot of big bore shooters have been wanting for some time now a threaded muzzle device, at about $100 less than what some other folks might charge to "super glue" a brake on. So...without much further waiting.......IBTL. |
