A 50 Caliber Comes Home!

This one is a really interesting piece. It’s from May 20, 2011. I’m pleased to welcome it home as my own gun. I’ll be showing you how to use it. I’ll run the Field Testing again, and see how it compares to the Maryland Field Testing.

I believe we will have fun with it.

Gary.

Nice to see it back for a little touch up . It looks like it's still in pretty good shape too . It's been very crappy weather here between rain/ snow and cold I'm sure I won't be shooting anytime soon . I look forward to seeing more !

Thanks

Hi Kurt.

I haven’t checked it over too much.

It’s been fairly damaged cosmetically while instorage. I’m not sure if I’ll repair or just enjoy it. There’s no structural or function damage. It doesn’t have much use.

I had really gone the extra mile to deliver the functions desired by the first owner. Those functions weren’t strictly requested. However; a larger caliber with hunting power, and shotgun function; was often mentioned during the wait. So I increased the scale of the 32 Chameleon into the very first 50 Caliber I’d ever made and came up with excellent power behind it. Kept the unique swing over loading port and the exposed rear hammer with adjustable power spring in the pistol grip. There is sooo much that can be done with it.

I remember following this rifle build. Very nice how everything came together. Must be a lot of fun to shoot? Be interesting to compare the results from when it was built to how it performs now.

Looking forward to seeing more of these and other rifles built once again.

Thanks Pedro,

I’m preparing casting molds for the Outrider 50 and this 50 Smoothie. The later had a mold but it didn’t transfer.

I’m terrible about selling my shop molds. I test them and let them go with the guns. Then I’m without slugs next time. Ha.

Thanks for reading. I’m anxious to share it too.

Best
Gary
