Does anybody have, or know of anybody, that has an AR in the 502 Thunder Sabre round offered by the folks in Oregon (sorry, forgot their name)?

I am curious if it is just another version of the .50 Beowulf.

Huh, competition for the Beowulf, huh?

Looks to be a completely different round.

"The .502 TS is simply a 50AE case with a 7.62x39 size case head."

Gah. I think I'd rather buy one of the 50AE uppers - at least it fires ammo used in another gun, even if it would need a different bolt carrier.

Although, if I remember right, they don't make the 50AE uppers anymore... :/

I want a 500 S&W upper, that would be awesome. Available ammo, great performance. You could take a polar bear with an AR....

What a boomstick...

Can't remember where I read the article, but it was about three guys hunting polar bears, two of them were carrying 500 S&W's. They lit up the bear with something like 10 rounds before it started coming towards them. The third guy with a 45-70 rifle finally put the bear down.

After reading that, I wonder about the 500 S&W.
