I’m not seeing a trigger or anything resembling a conventional bolt handle. Bet this makes one of Brandon Herrera’s “cursed gun images” videos.

Home made with that powerful of a round ?
Seems like it would blow the barrel up the first time they used it

Why arrest the guy?
Just let him fire it, problem solved.

” In the civilian market, yellow-tipped .50 BMG rounds are frequently Dominican Republic-made armor-piercing (AP) ammo. This specific lot has a nasty reputation for being hot-loaded, having degraded powder, and causing damage to rifles due to dimensions being on the large side. “

Let a guy alone. Killing your fetus is legal, but God forbid a man make something!

Where I live this would be legal. In fact, when I read the headline I thought it might be a D-I-Y .50-cal percussion rifle.

Looks like the breech screws together. Looks like the bottom of the three parts of the bolt group is backwards to the way it installs. I don't think there's a trigger, it has a catch that flips like a pen flare gun, or a zip gun.

A .50 Barrett weighs 30 lbs. That thing probably only weighs five, after you've installed the buttstock. If you shot it, it would knock you down and stop you for falling.

I was expecting to see a picture of a Hawken or some other black powder rifle. Tons of guys hand make or hand finish their 50 cal rifles.
