Drewhop Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 http://www.bohicaarms.com/ How hard would this be on a ar-15 lower. I am assuming you could not use just any cheap lower. Maybe I am overthinking it. I cant afford it but it is a lot more realistic then purchasing any other 50 bmg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I dont think anything is needed to convert it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The design of the AR-15 puts almost zero stress on the Lower itself. The Buffer Tube and the Upper takes the grunt of the force KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuht Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 The lower doesn't matter much, as far as material or strength go. You will want to consider a heavier hammer and/or hammer spring (because of the 50BMG primers), and a buttstock appropriate for the increased recoil. All that said, you will wait a long time for a Bohica, the guy is pretty grumpy, and I've witnessed a lot of extraction issues on my brother's (apparently the new bolt handle helps, though).

straightouttalocash Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 The Bohica (aka "Bend Over Here It Comes Again", seriously that's the story) upper is apparently somewhat crude but cheap. The guys behind it are straightforward, so they will work with you on problems, as they want to succeed. Overall it is great for the price from what I hear. They have been very good with follow-up for the guys on http://www.thehighroad.com so I would think they would be good for you, but YMMV.

KillJoy Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 If you want a Thump Thump, this is a good option. KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Methinks this will be ordered while I am deployed, in hopes it will be waiting on me when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Wow. That's about the cheapest way you can possibly get into a .50BMG anything The design of the AR-15 puts almost zero stress on the Lower itself. The Buffer Tube and the Upper takes the grunt of the force KillJoy Looks to be single shot bolt action. I'm assuming the buffer tube won't be used at all, since it's not auto-loading.

Lustalbert Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Will be safe as can be. Seems I am a a medic this time, so we will see what kind of shitty missions I can get into this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 the Beowulf .50 is another option. http://www.alexanderarms.com/beowulf.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmr95b Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 the Beowulf .50 is another option. http://www.alexanderarms.com/beowulf.htm I can't see the site from work, but .50 Beowulf < .50 BMG by a wide margin The BOHICA upper will drop right on any lower, and shouldn't stress it hardly at all. I would go forged vs. cast as my only caveat. I would go with something like a MagPul PRS stock or even a full A2 stock with the .50 BMG upper.

EVIL1 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 My BOHICA 50. I love it and I'm getting acceptable accuracy considering my load uses surplus pulled bullets and surplus pulled powder. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Guns/P1010087.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Guns/P1010128.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
