If AA was the one saying it's not a standard x39 bolt, then there's your issue.
I think I heard this from one of their diminishing numbers of vendors. I'll have to look for that again!

I have been in contact with Alexander Arms in Virginia. I am interested in building a 50 cal Beowulf pistol. They haven't said no yet, so I'm hoping they come through.
What do you think?

If you are considering it for the cool factor- ok.
But if you are looking for a defense gun, I'd go with the 300Blackout; SOCOM (I've heard) is no longer considering these specialty calibers (6.5, 6.8, .50); but 300Blk is still a contender. It's also lighter recoil, uses AR magazines; everything but barrel and gas tube are identical to an AR.
Join us at Jailbreak Brewery in October, we can discuss in person, details here: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=160940
You can get the 300Blk in pistol format, so not NFA item.
Can't shoot 50 cal at some ranges, 30 cal ok at all out door ranges I know.
I'll be curious if you get a response from Bill. Generally, Alexander Arms aren't a helpful lot.
Thinking is will leave a mark on your forehead
Barrel diameter that far back, IIRC, is around .940" - there'd be a little hogging out of a .930" gas-block, but it could be done (I think).
Yup, in that case I would remove .005 from the barrel in the lathe to accomidate a .936.

If you want to hear them take a tone, tell them how their factory ammo is splitting case walls and they should either discuss that with Starline (brass defect) or load them a touch softer.
Yeah, they weren't too happy talking to me.
Damn it Chad.
You're going to cost me money at some point in time, you do know this right?
WOW, I can't imagine how they would have gone off on you if they acted this way with me. Talk about being belittled.

We can do it.
