Finally got to take the m203 out to shoot for the first time and I think Boland had a batch of mislabeled .380 stage blanks. I bought supposedly full power loads, but it sounds like it is primer only. Going to disassemble one of them later this evening.
Going to be welding my Mckay uzi receiver shell and was wondering if anyone could provide me some close up pictures of how the welds look on their receiver for reference. I just want to make sure the size of my welds are comparable.
I recently inherited two East Ridge/State Arms .50 BMG rifles—one is with me, and the other is with my brother. We’re both completely new to the platform and .50 BMG in general, so I’d appreciate any advice from those with experience.
The rifles came with a box of miscellaneous parts, including several muzzle brakes, small washers, bushings, firing pins, firing pin springs, ball bearings, and what appear to be parts for the bipod. The bolt for the rifle I have is only partially assembled, so if anyone has photos, diagrams, or can explain what goes where, I’d really appreciate the help.
My rifle is a “Shorty” wearing a Leupold 4–12× scope. Unfortunately, the rifles didn’t come with any ammunition. What factory ammo would you recommend for someone just getting started? Are there particular loads or brands to look for (or avoid)?
Finally, can anyone recommend good places to shoot a .50 BMG in the Mid-Atlantic region? I’m located in Northern Virginia but don’t mind traveling a few hours for a range that welcomes .50 BMG.
Picked up an AES-10B2 a few months ago and finally got her out to the range. I replaced the furniture with a laminated Romanian set and installed the MARS V2 FRT and she needs a little adjusting (bolt carrier sometimes binds and stays to the rear), but I did manage to get a few mags down range. Rate of fire is very controllable.
