converted to .50 BMG

When they came into Canada in the '80s, many were done just that way. I remember Al Leander out in Alberta showing us his new chamber ream for it. He'd just bought an M2 HB to cut and convert.

Definitely cheaper to shoot that way and less hassle since the rifle is no longer considered a destructive device, the only other modification you have to make is to notch the front of the magazine for the longer o.a.l. of the cartridge. .50 BMG ammo is plentiful and relatively cheap, the only problem is I have to drive further afield to find a range that allows me to shoot it. My home club only has a 200 yd. rifle range and has arbitrarily limited .50 BMG shooters to 5 rounds per day to 'preserve' the berms. I've taken to driving to New Mexico where my brother who's in Federal law enforcement is currently stationed and having "range days" out in the desert east of Roswell. Keep hoping to see some aliens one day (the extra-terrestrial type!)
