Given that the lower reciever is the serial numbered part what law would make this illegal to own if one had it in conversion kit form?

You'd be making a Destructive Device by making a rifle with a bore diameter of over .50. Still legal to do on an ATF Form 1, if DDs are legal in your state and the CLEO will sign your Form 1.

You know the answer, don't you! The cops of, pick the state, would, instead of going unarmed, willingly embrace the double standard, and break the laws of their own state, you know the ones that only apply to "civilians", and to remain armed would cross the border to purchase in states without the strict laws against, owning a gun, no, that should read strict anti-constitutional, rules, because you cannot have a law that usurps the Law of the Land, The Constitution of the United States of America. Can you?

Good intentions is no excuse for bad writing.

Good writing doesn't make bad intentions noble.

[packrat01]

nice companions, but seems you have a thing for cheep scopes...

have you found that they don't impair your hit ratio?

[wku man]

Better yet, maybe they'll buy the rifle back from the LAPD (wouldn't that be a hoot...a reverse "buy back"), repair it and sell it to a patriot in another state. If I had the means I'd love to buy the "liberated" rifle.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

-- What does a policeman need a 50 caliber BMG rifle for?

- Well, the next Mrs. Weaver may be holding a baby behind a
- cinder block wall.

You can also be certain that it makes their pee-pee feel bigger.

Barrett bttt!

WOW

[Travis McGee]

Obviously they not only expect us to lick their boots, they expect us to like it.

(Service the rifle for a PD that is trying to ban them.)

"...less tolerant of individual rights..."

While I agree this is an excellent article and this man is a true patriot, there are certain buzz words we as a people in a constitutional republic should not use in certain context.
The people in this country have got to stop using words like tolerate, allow, civil rights, etc., and start using the correct words and statements that go along with them.

Instead of stating "...other regimes less tolerant of individual rights than the United States . " , I'd say something like other regimes that do not have a constitution securing the individual rights.
To use the word "tolerant" implies that we (like other countries) need governmental permission to do anything.

Tolerate "To allow , to be or done without prohibition; permit. "

As I've stated in the past, liberals don't care about the constitution, liberty, rights or any of that. Liberals believe that they are all knowing and that they and they alone can dictate what you can and can't do. We can continue to show them FBI (and other) reports that guns curb crime more often then help crime. It doesn't matter. Liberals believe that we are living in a democracy and if enough of them get together they can vote away all your God given Constitutionally secured rights.

We are fighting people who really don't give a tinkers damn about anyone's rights but their own and even then they call 'em privileges.

What does a policeman need a 50 caliber BMG rifle for?

Every domestic firearms manufacturer should simply refuse to sell guns in Kalifornia. Between the LAPD hypocrisy and the 50 cal ban, the "safe" gun "drop test" BS, and the Perata "assault weapon" ban, California has already demonstrated THEY DON'T WANT GUNS IN THEIR STATE.

So stop selling them, ESPECIALLY to law enforcement agencies in California. They can buy some nice AK's from Kanuckistan, and get their pistols from Mexico. This attitude that so many LEO's have, especially at senior levels, that whats OK for me should be prohibited to you, is a complete and total refutation of everything the 2nd Amendment stands for.

Nice work Mr. Barrett, good on you.

[Mikey]

Well said and correct.

"The battle won't get to me...at least not anytime soon."

"In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Please excuse my slow response on the repair service of the rifle. I am battling to what service I am repairing the rifle for.

"I found out it takes only five people on a town council to make a person put their house up for sale."

Thats why we must get rid of that democracy that has infested our republic.

Restore the republic and reclaim your God given Constitutionally secured rights or loose them by a mob vote.

"...Criminal Use of the 50 Caliber Sniper Rifle."

How about "Criminal use" of a knife, bat, 2X4, automobile, rock, rope, etc., etc., etc.

[AUgrad]

Please excuse my slow response on the repair service of the rifle. I am battling to what service I am repairing the rifle for. I will not sell, nor service, my rifles to those seeking to infringe upon the Constitution and the crystal clear rights it affords individuals to own firearms

Freedom Fighter Bump!!

I plan on getting a nice scope for the .50 as soon as I have the funds. ie a job.

The scopes I have now have served their purpose of plinking between 100-250 yards. I will probably get a good one for long distance work.
