I put the link to the Library where you can go look at this. I had a feeling that the latest movie with Mark W. "Shooter" might have 'sparked' this one? But this is the easiest way for the anti-gunners to take firearms away...one cartridge at a time!

Not actively trying to sell the AR-50, but it is still for sale.
If you really want it, we could talk.....
That EDM is a great stick, but I do believe Hollyweird had some hope that we humans wouldn't know that rifle is not capable of whacking a cold bore 1 mile shot on a DintyMoore beef stew can.

In the movies they have guns that never run out of bullets too! I remember you wanted to sell your press, dies, and a lot of other stuff as well. I would be interested in your rifle. If you want shoot me a PM with your # and I will give you a call.

I am starting to see these gopher guns becoming available in calibers like 338 Lapua Mag and the Barrett Magnums.
Soooo hide your 50 BMGs, you may need to use for an administrative change.

I know this post is a little old, but the rifle used in Shooter was a .408 Chey-tac. Not the EDM.
Oh yeah, And I WANT ONE!!!

I think you may be mistaken. I am pretty sure it is the M96 Windrunner.

Actually, at least if Wiki is right, we're both right. The Chey-tac is based off of the Windrunner. This is something I didn't know about. I thought Chey-tac built the rifles themselves, but it looks like they make some modifications to the Windrunner and sell it as the M-200.

You are correct. EDM also builds the .408.

Better write your congressman and let him know what you think about this. If we don't stop it now where will it stop? At .22's? Doubt it very much. The Nazis and old style commies would love this type of stuff!!

Congress is pretty worthless these days, just stock up and learn how to hide stuff around your place.
