No ammo....but lots of 50 BMG???

Grizzly_A · Mar 28, 2009

I can't find any primers, powder, loaded ammo, etc. But I'm seeing a ton more 50 BMG being advertised than I can recall. Is that's all that's left, or are people buying BMG??

I can afford the ammo but not the Barret to go w/it !

you can have a bolt action 50BMG for ~$2K (about 2 AR-15's right now) but then you still need a scope....

Thanks for the link.. thats a great option. I like the 18" option.. A new reason for to buy another lower!

I didn't know the AR platform was so versatile. I didn't know you could put a .50 on a 5.56 lower. Does anyone on here have one? How does it stress the retainer pins and the holes on the receiver?

Summit still seems to have a pretty good stock of BMG ammo and its performance is pretty decent . AAA ammo also seems to be a good resource for reloading supplies.

one guy I found posting on a .50 cal board said he'd shot around 10K rounds down his w/o problems.
