I've been looking at this as a possibility.
I've been told .50 Beowulf round uses the same BCG AND bolt as the standard .223/5.56, as well as the same magazine. Single stack 8 rounds in a 5.56 20 round mag.
All of this sounds pretty good, ESPECIALLY since the .50 Beowulf does NOT need to be hand loaded to afford them.
My big question is concerning the ejection port. I was told you need to "open up" the ejection port due to the massive cases used by the Beowulf.
How hard is it to "open up" a receiver? Are we talking dremel work? Something I can accomplish, or should I just break down and buy another upper? Alexander Arms offers this caliber.
Advice anyone?
