Pictures of State Arms rifles
I just ordered one about a month ago and yeah, I daydream a little. Anyone want to share pics of their State Arms rifles?
Here's my wife with my State Arms Shorty, right after I got it...still had a Supersniper 20x on it, May 2006:

Thanks.
It's great that your wife enjoys shooting with you.
Here's my wife shooting our Rebel at the BRC in 2003––

I remember shooting that Rebel at BRC #1 off that very same pad and banging the steel gong...also shot DVDTrackers Serbu offhand with a red dot on the main line as well.

Yes! How are you? I'm glad to see you around. You and others fired about 400 rounds that weekend. LOTS of fun, no??

LOTS of fun, yes! Wow...400 rounds that weekend? You and your wife were very generous with your .50 and I was very happy to fire a round thru it. I keep collecting things for a .50 but can't decide on a .50 BMG or a .50 chambered in Spotter-Tracer...I've got 5,000 projos, lots of powder, 300 BMG brass and 1,200 virgin Spotter-Tracer brass but still no clue what I will do.
Keep up the pictures of the State Arms rifles.

You should have Larry build you a Rebel with 2 barrels, one spotter tracer and one regular barrel. I can change a barrel on my State Arms in about 20 minutes. Just takes a barrel wrench a vice and a torch to loosen up the red locktite. Take one off clean up the threads and apply some red locktite and spin on the other barrel and snug it up. I have three State Arms rifles that each have two barrels, one bore rider and the other regular chamber for each.

Im digging through my pics looks for a few. I know i have a video of my ex shooting my State Arms somewhere as well.
Since you guys posted, i gotta ask.
What would the difference be between the Spotter/Tracer barrel and a standard barrel?

Spotter/Tracer CARTRIDGES are an alltogether different cartridge than 50 BMG. Same bullet diameter. Same casehead diameter. Shorter brass. Think of a spotter/cartridge as being a 308 compared to a 50 BMG being more similar to a 30-06.
Since the bolt faces are the same and the bullet diameter is the same, a simple barrel swap will convert a single shot rifle from 50 BMG to spotter tracer. Same action, boltface, and muzzle brake.

Here's a video of a State Arms 50. Fake. But nonetheless a State Arms.

David, thanks for the info.
I will have to check out the S/T rounds i have at home. I'm 99% sure they are just S/T projectiles loaded into 50BMG cases.
sorry for the hi-jack
