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.

AMMO/SCOPE RECOMMENDATIONS
Scopes:
No matter which scope you get, make sure that it is rated for .50 BMG recoil. The two listed below both are.
SWFA Model SS - approx $350
Millet Model LRS - approx $400-450 depending on when and where you get it.
Ammo Suppliers:
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.
Online suppliers such as Freedom Munitions, unammo.com, and 50bmgsupply.com are all great options.
Great ammo we currently test fire with: American Marksman .50 BMG M33 Ball Ammunition, 660 Grain, FMJ.
