50 cal conversion kit for ar-15

[HappyGunner]

Anyone use the Beowulf conversion kit? Thoughts? Or do you just choke up the cash for a Barret. (Don't know if I could actually save for that long)

Check with John at JDL Sales. He showed my son and I his Beowulf last weekend.

What about Umlat Arms, Lars is a great guy, www.umlautarms.com

You realize .50 Beowulf and .50 BMG are a different round, right? The Barret uses .50 BMG.

Not being a wiseass, just checking in.

Lars = Good Guy - give him a call.

I went with the Beowulf as I already have .223.

Ammo Discussion


And Lars is the way to go. He has ammo and uppers on order all the time so you can usually get stuff faster than ordering from Alexander Arms directly.

Yes sir, I do realize. But thank you. Never had any experience with either round.

Chris,
Can you tell me who makes that fore end and bipod? I want one like that!!

 

[jdubois]

Hey, Birdman! Nice to see you here.

On a similar note, has anyone had experience with the .50 BMG uppers you can get for your AR?

I've seen a couple "this looks neat" posts, but I haven't heard if anyone has actually purchased one.

This is my Beowulf. I built this gun on a stripped Alexander Arms 50 Beowulf lower I got from Bill Alexander.
This is a fun gun to shoot, although it is not a 50BMG it still is very impressive just at shorter ranges then the 50BMG. Whatever the 50 Beowulf round hits it destroys.

Chris,

The handguard is Alexander Arms Carbon guard offered on their full floating uppers. The bipod is a standard Harris. I had to drill and mount the stud to attach the bipod, but that's really the only custom work I did there.

While no direct experience, I am told they convert your lower to a "consumable" part.
