I won an AR50 in the team member raffle but I can't take delivery because of the CA .50 bmg ban. So I am looking for options.

Can it be rechambered or rebarrelled to .510dtc or some other caliber? That would be CA legal. Barretts site says that they don't do rebarrelling. How about Serbu, EDM or even Armalite? Anyone know?

Can I rent space in someone's out of state safe? Anyone want to hold my rifle until I retire and move? Yeah, I didn't think so. LOL!

I could of course sell it. I have been to the Armalite site and Gunbroker, I know what full suggested retail is. What would be a fair price? Anyone looking for a new in box AR50?

California SUCKS!

I will hold on to it for you.  I have one that needs a companion during the week when I am not shooting it.

The problem is that it will say .50 BMG on the receiver so you won't find any dealers willing to accept it. You're better off selling it and then using the money to buy a serbu in 50 DTC or some other rifle that you want.

I can't understand why Armalite won't make some of the AR-50's in DTC. I guess that goes the same for Barrett, guess they stuck themselves with the .416.

Receiver markings. Damn, I didn't think of that.

Rifle for sale.

So, what's a fair price?

Armalite sells the AR50 for (MSRP) $2,999

Larry Knesek is selling the Armalite AR50 for $2,510.

He also sells an AR50 kit for $2,600.

If I were you I would see if you could work out some sort of swap with Larry for a Barrett M99-416.

Thanks for the link! Excellent prices!

The AR50 is up for sale in the EE.

It sucks, but I will now be forced to purchase a .510DTC rifle just because.

Serbu have any to market yet?
