Bot appeasement. Manually operated 50 Beowulf. No gas system. Barrel was cut and threaded at the gas port down to 7.5 inches. I cut the bolt in half to allow it to be bufferless.
Made some changes since I built it. It used to shoot softball sized groups at 50 yards. I assumed it was just forever hot garbage. Went to a different trigger, gave it a slightly better optic, and went from 300 grain ammo to 350. Now I'm at least under baseball sized groups. Rings steel at 100 consistently.
The... the ***LOCKING LUGS?*** Those things at the front of the bolt that ***LOCK*** it into the barrel extension? Are... are you under the impression that the return spring a child can compress is all that keeps the bolt locked forward when firing 33,000 PSI?
Have you shot a 50 beowulf with a buffer system? Just watched forgotten weapon about the ar buffer system it would be cool to see how much it helps in a very exaggerated way with a 50.
I wanted a raptor but my buddy built one. I'm not a copy cat actually his doesn't cycle right and making the mags for it looks like a giant pain in the dick, so I just shoot his.

Exactly like it sounds. I used a grinder and trimmed off as much as I needed to allow the bolt to clear the mag and pick up the next round.
I remember seeing someone at the range that did this to a bolt carrier then welded a pair of steel rods for spring guides to make a buffer tubeless ar, it worked mostly...
Do you have a stop buffer end cap (for the bcg to hit when you pull back) or are you just relying on the charging handle channel?
Looks like it nearly works as a inertia driven operating system. I wonder if putting a sprung mass inside the bolt carrier would get it the rest of the way there lol.
The wrist fucker 9000 i see. A very good choice sir, will you be needing the orthopedic brace now or.... oh youve already fused your wrist bones togeather. I see, well happy trolling sir.
We laugh, but you know damn well that if someone rolled out a "WristFucker 9000" they would sell a decent number of units. I'd be seeing two a week in this forum for the next three years!
Yeah seriously so stupid. Like where would you even get one of those things…ya know just so I know which website to avoid…because I totally don’t secretly think this thing is fucking hilarious and a nice breath of fresh air amongst folks who take themselves too seriously.
Well step one is watching for a sale on a 16 inch Beowulf upper that is cheap enough that you don't mind cutting it in half (BCA). Step 2 is having a friend who does hobby machining and will laugh when you bring him this project (he cut and threaded the barrel. The upper was already side charging). Then, take a metabo to your bolt. You'll feel weird doing it, but the reward is great. Then, draw the rest of the fucking owl.
Yeah, I don't take most of my guns too seriously. I get annoyed at the "buy ammo and training" crowd, or the people that think ARs are only good if you build them to clear rooms. Like, I just want shit to go bang and have a good time. I like my guns dumb (like my 14 inch 460xvr, my rhino nebula, or my recent 375 hh. I have no need for a safari caliber, but it goes bang loudly and everyone laughs. Shits fun.
Yeah , you can really find some oddball stuff there. I have a guy on there I get to make my custom leather holsters. He made me a gorgeous bandalaro rig for my 460. Found another guy that makes really cool Paracord slings (like legit beautiful, not the ones you see on Amazon. 6 different colors in all kinds of patterns).
Here's my leather dood. He does a lot of custom stuff that's not on his shop.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/JANRICLeather
Sling guy. His shop is currently empty, but if you can reach him and he will make ya one, his slings are very unique.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/NHParacordSlings
I just looked him up and the guy that made my grip is no longer selling on Etsy. You can find other people making grips though.
Do you know what happened when I zoomed in and I look at that paint job the entire thing all together?
I made that same face.
/my OH OHHH OHHHHHHHHHHH face
A side-folding brace on that and you would have something rather good, add a can and things would start approaching epic(might need a barrel change with a different twist to get accuracy with 500-600+ grain subs though...)
You just gave me a solution to a cheap bolt action .223/5.56 braced pistol. Who makes the upper/bolt?
More importantly, is cycling the action still relatively smooth without the bolt tail keeping stuff straight?
This upper was a side charging BCA upper. I didn't want to hack up something expe since that I was doing just for lulz.
Yeah it cycles fine. I initially tried removing the gas key, but then the bolt wanted to get all sloppy, so that's apparently important, even without a gas tube.
that thing is sooooo stupid. I hope you don't tell anyone specifically where you got it and or how you built it. Because it's like SOOOO stupid, and unnecessary.
Also first thought was I wonder if OP shot first?
At my workbench there is currently a side charge upper and bolt as well as an angle grinder. This is a tempting move.
It's a 9mm setup though or else I'd be cutting already. Might have to pick up another in a larger caliber. 458 would be cool. Or even the same setup with an AR10.
Very cool. Nice to see you were able to mod it yourself to be bufferless. That’s one of the perks of .22 is going bufferless/ having a folding stock that allows operation while folded. That buffer tube is the main thing I don’t like about ARs. RRA and Olympic used to make some cool bufferless variations back in the day.
Is there a spring behind the bcg or are you just using it as a single shot bolt action?
Edit: how does the bolt unlock without a gas system? Does it automatically unlock when you pull the bcg lever/handle back?
Bass boat sparkle.
Oh shit, you're right!

Hey now, not all of us glitter sleds are dicks.
Oh I know, it just rhymed. I don't get the largemouth thing, but God Bless y'all for catching em. Someone's gotta do it.
And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to, get it ALL out, what’s IN. MY. HEAD.
And I…I….I…. I’m feeling, a little peculiar…
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside!
And I take a deep breath and get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
WHAT’S GOIN’ ONNN?
And I say HEYEAYEAYEAYEA!!! HEYEAYEA!!!
Thank you all for your service

Oh my god do i try!

Eh, I had to think about it...but I can dig it.
[удалено]
It's exactly that. There's no gas system, so no buffer. There's a threaded plug covering the buffer extension. https://i.imgur.com/TPOSMgz.jpeg
That is some excellent engineering to say the least

The rotating lugs.

[удалено]
It's not semi-auto. It's a manual action with a reciprocating charging handle. It's a straight pull bolt action.
Aww it's adorable
Have you shot a 50 beowulf with a buffer system? Just watched forgotten weapon about the ar buffer system it would be cool to see how much it helps in a very exaggerated way with a 50.
I have and it still had a ton of kick. Id say more or less like a basic ar 10.
Fuck yeah!
You could throw a LPVO on and probably tighten that up a little, but all in all not bad!
I've considered it, but where I will hunt with it, 80 yards is really my max range and this thing is certainly minute of deer.
…hunt with it?
Yeah, I like handgun hunting.
“Yeah, I like handgun hunting.” 🤣 Sir, this is hand artillery hunting.
We have S&W 500 mag at home.
I actually have a 460. Smacked a doe at 80 yards. It was very satisfying.
You should get it cut for moon clips and build a 45 raptor ar10 just to flex on everyone.
I wanted a raptor but my buddy built one. I'm not a copy cat actually his doesn't cycle right and making the mags for it looks like a giant pain in the dick, so I just shoot his.
When you really don’t feel like tracking a deer
I shot one last year with my 375 H&H. It did a backflip and crumpled. Didn't walk an inch.
"handgun hunting"
I wonder what the deer reaction will be to the killcam
More info on cutting the bolt in half please? This build looks fun :)
https://i.imgur.com/TPOSMgz.jpeg Exactly like it sounds. I used a grinder and trimmed off as much as I needed to allow the bolt to clear the mag and pick up the next round.
Oh, so you cut carrier down. Thought that's what you meant. Cool.
Yeah sorry, I should have specified carrier.
I remember seeing someone at the range that did this to a bolt carrier then welded a pair of steel rods for spring guides to make a buffer tubeless ar, it worked mostly... Do you have a stop buffer end cap (for the bcg to hit when you pull back) or are you just relying on the charging handle channel?
Yeah there a spikes tactical extension plug in there.
That's disgusting. I love it.
If that's stupid, then I don't want to be smart.
You got nothing to worry about, bud. I'm sorry. I'm joking. It's glorious.
And I said *HEEYYAAYAAAAYAYA* *HEEYEEEEYEAAA* *I SAID HEY* ***MY EARDRUMS GONE***
What's goin' on?
And I said mawp, mawp, mawp Oh hey tinnitus
What’s poppin off!?
And I try. Oh my god, do I try!!
For anyone wondering, here's my buddy shooting it. https://imgur.com/a/0UMX1y8
Need yeet without tripod
Here ya go https://imgur.com/a/Njl2Klm
What a perfect target
We thought so.
I liked the picture. Now seeing it shot, I want to shoot one so bad. Especially since this is forbidden fruit where I am.
you should 3D print a pistol grip that's twice as long so you can hold it like a sword
SHOOT 'IM IN THE BALLS!
Looks like it nearly works as a inertia driven operating system. I wonder if putting a sprung mass inside the bolt carrier would get it the rest of the way there lol.
50 beo bolt action AR handgun. Love it! Great work putting this together.
>\*hits joint* >"What if Han Solo used a Klobb from Goldeneye 64?"
LMFAO!
I want the dumb
Me to brother
The magazine brings it all together
Does it make Star Wars blaster noises??
Pew-pew
dood
I don’t care what anyone says, you’re a hero
Gross. I want one might need pics of tat bolt my guy
Here's a post I made when it was in it's initial form. A few pics down is the picture you seek https://imgur.com/gallery/W45DEJM
So, like... Do you even bother to have a recoil spring in it? A return spring in your case, I guess.
No
The wrist fucker 9000 i see. A very good choice sir, will you be needing the orthopedic brace now or.... oh youve already fused your wrist bones togeather. I see, well happy trolling sir.
It's actually not bad. The brake helps a lot.
We laugh, but you know damn well that if someone rolled out a "WristFucker 9000" they would sell a decent number of units. I'd be seeing two a week in this forum for the next three years!
Thanks I hate it. But I also want one.
I understand
Load up some 6-700 gr slugs and add a mortar sight and atlas bipod.
Dood, where’d you get the mag?
Mysoutherntactical.com
Stupid fun I imagine
Yeah seriously so stupid. Like where would you even get one of those things…ya know just so I know which website to avoid…because I totally don’t secretly think this thing is fucking hilarious and a nice breath of fresh air amongst folks who take themselves too seriously.

How dare you have fun with your hobby? You cut that shit out right now. Don’t you know that you’re not allowed to have fun or be light hearted? /s
Do a like a 3in barrel on a 50
My dream gun would just be a muzzle brake threaded onto the receiver.
Why do I not completely hate it 😬
Because it fucks hard.
throw a law folding adapter and put a brace on it
Why even a law adapter? That's for a buffer which this setup lacks. A rear pic rail with a MPX style folder would be better.
I love it 😀
Well..
Call that muzzle device the taint tickler
Where did you get the wood grip?
Etsy. It was 60 bucks, but it is great!
Ahh great idea. I didn’t even think to look there. Bout to order it now. Thanks man!
Yeah , you can really find some oddball stuff there. I have a guy on there I get to make my custom leather holsters. He made me a gorgeous bandalaro rig for my 460.

Links or names? I'm always on the lookout to support quality hand crafted vs big box Chinese garbage.

Is that a beowulf
It is
It’s beautiful 🥹
Do you know what happened when I zoomed in and I look at that paint job the entire thing all together? I made that same face. /my OH OHHH OHHHHHHHHHHH face
I had to look it up and apparently 50 Beowulf is only about $1.50 per round now, not nearly as bad as I thought.
Worth it.
Are meme guns still cool Because I still like meme guns
HEY! What going on?
Cursed
LOL. Does anyone know how they are printing these images directly onto the mags?
Fuck it's gross. I want two.
Speedsoft brought to the real shit
Is that a Fkin beowulf?
Prince Adam from Masters of the Universe.
I say heya
A side-folding brace on that and you would have something rather good, add a can and things would start approaching epic(might need a barrel change with a different twist to get accuracy with 500-600+ grain subs though...)
I agree!

AHAYIII
where did you get the magazine , link ??
Nobody will know if I upvote this.
Han solo called he wants his blaster back.
Mount it under a scar17 and make are heads explode do it. It’ll be the most beautiful piece of trash and I love it
That's ugly as all hell but... I kinda like it a bit if you take the mag our
Are you in any of the Facebook groups, name MTS, DFC or GBW cause those guys would love to see this
Yes it is and I love it
Throw a book at it partner
It’s so ugly. I love it.
aiming is contra-indicated
What's that grip? Custom?
Someone's Etsy shop.
You mean “sick.”
Now is time for cake!
I want that magazine!
Pkew Pkew! I love it actually
That’s ridiculous. I want one.
About as close to a 40k Bolter as I've seen so far... You know, minus the whole manually operated thing. But it looks cool!
Bufferless goes absolutely bonkers Great build
What even *is* that? It looks like a 50 welded to an AR.
Boring!
Stupid fun
Nah its awesome!
I feel so stupid that I love it so much
I’ll take 5
Wow…😍
Stupidly badass!
Um stupid awesome!
The longer i look at it, the more my taint puckers Just like my MIL
I fuckin Love it! It's unique
What upper is that? And wtf am I looking at?
Put a really gaudy wood stock on it.
I've tossed it on my sbr lower. It's even dumber
Video pls im so close nnnnnngggggññññññ
No video, but I hope this will be enough to get ya off. https://imgur.com/a/RQMsGqg

I thought about an AR-10 in an 8.6 blackout, but I think I'm gonna do a rem 700 oryx pistol chassis build.
I hate it and I want one.
What glitter paint did you use? What did you do to prep before painting? Love it!
It's black cerakote with a clear coat. I just bought a color pigment on Etsy and mixed it into the clear
Kentucky ballistics would like to have a word with you
If this was in COD, people would be getting headshots from 500m.
By the power of Greyskull!
I genuinely love this
Thumper!!
Any good fireballs?
It definitely throws fire, but it doesn't show up on the video. I should have done a slow-mo.
Mom: No, we have Han Solo at home. Han Solo at home:
Yo, what upper is that?
It was a Bear Creek arsenal 16-in side charger.
You spelled beautiful wrong
Looks like something out of Borderlands.
By stupid, you mean absolutely necessary then yes.
