AR-15 upper's should just drop right in with no fitting. I have 5 Ar's and you can swap parts back and forth. Beowulf conversion comes with every thing you need. I don't have one but have looked at them. Midway has them in their catalog, don't know the price off hand.

One of the best places to purchase them is direct from Bill Alexander of Alexander Arms.

I have the 6.5 Grendel made by Bill and it's a great weapon with a lot more HP than the standard M4. The .50 Beowulf is a bit limited by range, but otherwise will eliminated anything within it's typical range (such as large animals, cars, trucks, and hills)

You should have no fitting issues at all.

Two Thumbs Up!

I really enjoy mine. I don't think I could control mine in FA, but would love to try

I did get the Alex Arms Muzzle break installed on mine, it was worth the extra money. Plus it looks great on the end of that huge muzzle!

Deffinanitly A whole lot of fun!!!

Mine is on a Bushmaster collapsible lower, with an Aim Point Red Dot. It went together very easy. Had a little problem with the bolt, but the people at Alexander Arms were great. It does pack punch on the old shoulder (this keeps cost of ammo down LOL $1.40-$1.60 a round). Shot it last fall at some pumpkins, and lets just say anyone for pumpkin pie??? This is #2 on my
favorite gun list.

I bought one about 6-7 years ago when they came out, havent shot it in a few years but its lots of fun , I bought the complete full size rifle . Recoil is fairly stout , would not want to experience it in FA and def wouldnt want to subject my 16 lower to the punishment.

I have never had any problems with the complete rifle, I did also buy just an upper at the same time which I sold to a friend and it cracked his lower at the rear pin hole.
The first ammo I purchased with the rifle is marked 500 sw and has the rim turned down , I have a couple of cases of ammo I purchased from Alexander in his second batch of ammo marked 50 beo but the case head is off center and it doesnt chamber

very fun gun if you like shooting things like saplings , cinder blocks old tvs and comodes etc. Performance in pine saplings ,1gallon cans of pork and beans and the like is very similar to hot loads in 444 marlin
