[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Creating a 308/ 50 Beowulf custom upper

Posted: 7/9/2015 8:17:37 AM EDT

I have recently started making a 308 upper from a solid model I received off of rifleconnection.com and was curious if I want to build a 50 beowulf, is everything on this upper the same except for the barrel obviously?

50 Beowulf is sized for AR15 magazines, not AR10 (.308) mags.

A 50 Beowulf AR15 barrel will not mount in an AR10 sized upper.

I'm sure it could be made to work, but you'll have to get creative...

If you are looking for a big bore on the 308 platform look at the 45 raptor.

Cool idea, but I would go for a longer cartridge/ caliber if you are going to the trouble. Otherwise do a 6.5 grendel/50 beo upper 15 upper. The whole point of those cartridges is to work in the short stroke uppers.
