This is a REAL big bore. I like the part where the owner says "you don't flinch, you duck!"  Check out this link over at Gunboards. BIG BORE  Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | ||

If you look at the pics, you'll see some pics of the bullets.. not hugely impressive, and less so when you realize it's a steel, not lead bullet... 13mm =.511 92mm = 3.6" looks like (though it's a bit longlonger) a 577/500 sporting round with a long STEEL bullet. though the ones in the pics are probably 642gr milsurp 50s the tanks of WWI were just plate covered tractors.. I would GUESS it's more or less a 510 wells  opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

AllwnBosley - As I recall, they are not control round feed but have an extractor like the 1891 Argentine (SAKO style). Being single shot, it doesn;t much mtter. That rifle appears to be in original condition, anyone know it's value? "I ask, sir, what is the Militia? It is the whole people.

Is the recoil fierce? You can borrow money, but you can't borrow time. Don't wait, go now. Savannah Safaris Namibia Otjitambi Trails & Safaris DRSS NRA SCI DSC TSRA TMPA | |||

I've shot one. Basically no different than a .50 BMG. They are very heavy and the recoil was Ho-Hum! There is one couple at FCSA meets that has a .50BMG made using the action. It actually shoots pretty well.-Rob Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers to do incredibly stupid things- AH (1941)- Harry Reid (aka Smeagle) 2012 Nothing Up my sleeves but never without a plan and never ever without a surprise! | |||
