It's to new, they're just now hitting the market. I'm sure it will take at least 6-12 months before we hear anything. Plus we have to assume that someone that buys one will be posting some kind of info about it on the net.
www.usa-50.com The website needs help. |

Well, I coulndt wait. I ordered one of his Ultralite 50s with 24" barrel this morning.
I will say this, Marcus was right on top of the order and has one ready to ship. I sent the email last night after 10pm PST and he called this morning at 6:15 PST  [yawn]. No worries as I am up before 6am daily. Regardless its nice ot see them doing a semi. I just wish they would rearrange the FC parts to allow a bottom fed mag. CH |

The 1st rifles were severely downloaded to get them to function. They used I believe 180g of powder as opposed to 230g in most loadings.

Yep Marcos puts out a very good single shot 50BMG upper. But there is nothing like a Barrett M82A1. I would like to see his sime auto shoot first hand. I hope some one in WA or ID or OR gets one and would let me see it shoot in person.

Please explain this statement? Are you saying that the rifles wouldn't function with normal loads? Did they correct this? |

The first guns and the one shot at Knob Creek by Dennis Chaney wouldn't fire standard .50 rounds. They had to download the cartridges to keep it from ripping the rims off or just plain not function because the pressure curve was too long and powerful.
Yes it looks good. But as of the Oct. Knob Creek shoot, it doesn't work with with mil spec ammo. |
