The .50 Beowulf is a rifle big-bore cartridge developed by Alexander Arms for use in a modified AR-15 rifle. Why does it belong in your AR-15 collection?
First and foremost, it is based on your standard AR-15
platform. The .50 Beowulf is compatible with standard AR-15 upper and lower
receivers, handguards, buffer systems and small parts. The only
difference is the barrel and your BCG, not counting the magazine, which it
takes 6.5 Grendel Type II Bolt Face. It is entirely possible to slap a complete
.50 Beowulf upper receiver onto a standard AR-15 lower receiver and maintain
total functionality. A heavy 4.3 oz AR-15 buffer and standard AR-15 buffer spring will need to be used to effectively handle the .50 Beowulf’s increased
recoil, as the Beowulf cartridge was designed to work specifically with
standard lower receiver components.
The .50 Beowulf cartridge adds an extraordinary “wow” factor.
Rugged, precise and with brute power to spare, the beastly cartridge of .50 Beowulf undoubtedly can harvest every big game animal in North America. The
rifle produces a distinct thumping muzzle blast that literally makes shooters
feel the hair on their head move. Surprisingly, although the .50-caliber
cartridge produces a whopping 2,400 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, it felt
recoil is comparable to a 12-gauge shotgun with 2-3/4-inch bird shot. Given
its ability to excel at a variety of objectives from hunting to home defense,
it’s quite clear the .50 Beowulf is a solid example of a reliable all-purpose
tool that can go anywhere and do anything.
