In regards to the Construct 

This construct kicks off our 50 BMG content material collection. 50 BMG is simply loud and enjoyable, nevertheless it additionally opens up the door to ELR. I lately bought to know Paul Phillips, King of 1 Mile and King of two Miles, and he’s going to be mentoring me in ELR. Following this construct, I’m planning on getting a special bolt and barrel, in all probability for 375 Cheytac, and planning out a extra severe ELR rifle. 

On the middle of this construct is BAT Machine’s EX action. This large motion measures 12 inches in size and weighs roughly eight  kilos. For 50 BMG, every part is BIG. Even the scale of the motion wrench are comical. 

This motion will probably be set within the Accurate Rifle Systems ELR chassis with the BipodeXt. This telescopic bipod extends to over 40 inches! 

The chassis is at the moment within the white in preparation for blasting and Cerakote. I don’t have a full plan labored out, however I do know it can contain some particular colours and presumably some laser imaging. 

Lifting the International Barrels’ 50 caliber 1:15 barrel clean is a exercise in and of itself. I’ll be chucking this up within the Precision Matthews TL-1660 lathe. This lathe has a 2.5” through-spindle capability. The barrel diameter is 1.75” on the shank, so we have now loads of room. 

I’ll be utilizing Triebel tooling, together with a 50 BMG physique and neck reamer, throater, go gauge, no-go gauge, and freebore gauge.

With these instruments, I can select the freebore I want and {custom} tune the gun to the bullets I select. I’m working with Bruce Thom from BAT Machine on some suggestions. 

I’m additionally utilizing my very own custom-made inflexible reamer holder (Morse Taper #4) for this construct. It’s so exactly machined that eradicating the reamer is accompanied by a satisfying air pop. Placing it again in leads to an air seal with out an O-ring. Keep tuned for a separate video on how I did it! 

Although I usually use Brief Motion Customs barrel vises, for this mission I’m utilizing my Brownells barrel vise. This vise has a 1.75” bushing diameter. My plan is to take away the bushing and put some rosin in.

On the muzzle finish, we have now the APA Gen 2 XXX Bastard brake. This brake has a nut for self-timing and is threaded 1”x14.

Conclusion

Wanting ahead, I might also be testing an AccuTac bipod in addition to a Phodera Suppressor (20 inches lengthy!) on this gun. This ardour mission has been a decade within the making and I’m trying ahead to all it has to supply. One factor I’m significantly enthusiastic about is taking pictures tracer rounds throughout the canyon within the snow (to forestall fires). Keep tuned for the remainder of this collection, that includes the barrel work, {custom} Cerakote, barrel break in, and extra!
