I have always wanted a .50 cal upper.....I came across this cartridge which is similar to the 50AE. I can't wait to try it out.

Have you had any luck contacting them in oregon?  I tried a couple of times with no joy, so I built my own.  Just curious,  I thought I might get brass, instead of making  the stuff myself.   The finished unit is an accuate piece and have had no issues of any kind..   

Used a Pac Nor bbl and a AK bolt in a heavy  target upper, side cocker, floater forend with a carbine length gas system on a std  rifle lower.  I throated the  bbl so the OAL of the round is a lot longer than the std 50AE, helped the feed geometry some to.   I think the next mod is gonna be a brake!!  Still  fussing with the buffer weights,  Just  to damn hot  on the range to enjoy it.  (Vegas)

Kind of an interesting site, No cnc stuff, just my MK1 eyeball and elbows.  I've built  a bunch of  stuff over the years,  AR-7  kits, Hi Std bbls and carbine kits, AK mag AR lowers  and upper mods, Quick change(relativley)  bbls for the  MP5s, and a bunch  of 9mm bbls for the Oly subguns we run on the range.  Finally gave up on them and went to the colts style.  got work waiting,  have a good one.

They sent me an email within a few days of my inquiry. Looks abusive when shooting with slow follow ups. Might be great for pigs though.
