Title: bolt action uppers for ars.
Post by: TAB on December 15, 2009, 10:12:44 PM
So I have a few lowers just collecting dust in the safe,  I don't want to build a AR as the laws here make them basicly suck.

I've seen a few uppers in big boomers like 338 and 50 bmg.   

does anyone have one?

I've never shot one, but ALS has a very nice one. If you research it you'll find they completely redesigned the bolt assembly. This was because they had a ALS rifle fire out of battery at the National Matches this year at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico. The shooter was severely injured, but will recover.

There is zero danger of that ever happening again with the new bolt design. The guns are very accurate, and do well in .50 BMG matches. They are a nice, cost effective way to get into .50 BMG shooting. Especially if you already have the lower.  Bill T.

Quite a few rimfire uppers out there that would make for fun shooting.

As you probably know, Alexander arms has a .50 (less punch than the BMG) and Bushmaster has a .450 Hornady which packs a punch as well.

BOHICA Mk II upper.  30" barrel.  Fits and shoots fine...really doesn't recoil bad at all.  About like a 3" slug 12 gauge.  I've added a 4 lb competition weight in the buttstock.  Entire rifle weighs about 32 lbs.

kilopaparomeo, you have just given me a lot of reasons to be very jealous and envious of you.  :(

Nice collection by the way.  ;)

Now, if these are complete lowers, and just in the spirit of the season ( ;)), I would suggest a charity raffle for one, DRTV only. You name the apoitical chairity of your choice, cancell it if it doesn't get to an acceptable level, and take the write off for the lower. Win, win, win. But, that's just me. ;D Seriously, you can probably trade a couple of those for a nice used bolt in anything short of .50 you want.

That makes two of us. I actually miss grading badly written papers from folks who haven't done the reading. Even Wally World isn't hiring here. Its not just about the money so much (yet, though is getting there) as just wanting a job, any job. Hell, I've been working since I was 16 and sitting on my ass is driving me nuts. I didn't apply for unemployment out of principle, but at this point anything useful is ok. problem is, I don't speak spanish and down here, too many companies won't hire Americans as they like their network of no complaint, no osha, no withholding rules, pools of illegals. I never thought that with ten ten years of teaching experience it would be so hard to get a part time gig.
