The BFG-50A is a magazine-fed, semi-automatic, gas-operated .50 BMG rifle.

INCLUDED

- Bipod

- 10 Round Magazine

- Plano case with custom cut foam

DETAILS

It has a 3-lug rotating bolt, dual plunger ejectors, sliding plate extractor and hydraulic recoil buffer. The bolt locks into a barrel extension which is threaded to the barrel. The bolt lug and barrel extension locking surfaces are helical.

The gas system is similar to that used on a Ljungman AG-42 or MAS 49/56. As with our BFG-50 single-shot rifle, all our barrels are chambered with our own reamer design which allows surplus ammunition to be fired but gives far greater accuracy than can be achieved with barrels using a machine gun chamber. The BFG-50A uses a highly efficient 8-port "Shark Brake" muzzle brake. Barrel/barrel extension and handguard are removable to allow different barrel and handguard lengths and configurations.

FAQs

AMMO/SCOPE RECOMMENDATIONS

Scopes:

No matter which scope you get, make sure that it is rated for .50 BMG recoil. 

SWFA Model SS - approx $350

Ammo Suppliers:

We recommend you stay away from American Eagle in the black box, if possible. Soft brass getting stuck in the chamber and being difficult to extract has been a commonly reported problem. You're welcome to try it out for yourself, but please be aware of its issues before concluding that the rifle is to blame. Our chamber is between match and standard so certain rounds can be too large.

You can find ammo online from United Nations Ammo, Freedom Munitions, American Marksman, etc. Ammoseek.com is a great search engine for ammo.  

Great ammo we currently test fire with: American Marksman .50 BMG M33 Ball Ammunition, 660 Grain, FMJ.
