I wanted to invent an engine that could run for ever. I could have developed a new train, had I stayed in the railway. It would have looked like the AK-47 though. MIKHAIL KALASHNIKOV -
Apparently they aren't actually Illegal, they just arent on the safe list, so you have to buy it in .44 magnum then put in the .50 barrel. -
Pretty much the same with so called "assault" rifles. My deer rifle 30-06 will put most "assault" rifle ammo to shame as far as comparing ammo. Im sure some dip dunk somewhere thought that it would "help" somehowComment

The 50DE is not illegal in California.
The only "fifties" banned in California are 50BMG rifles; other 50cal firearms are legal [unless violating some other separate law, like AW or SBR].
If you find someone in California with one used, you can get it via PPT thru your FFL, or you might find one on consignment.
Magnum Research either did not pay for drop test/Rostering for the 50DE (or perhaps did not renew its Rostering - unsure if it ever was).
Smith & Wesson has paid to Roster the 500S&W revolver(s), and is pretty good about renewing Rostering status by paying the fees.Last edited by bwiese; 06-02-2010, 10:52 PM.
