Looking for a
.50 BMG upper receiver assembly for an
AR-15???
Light handling --- precision accuracy
---- maximum power --- and affordability - these are 4 highly desirable attributes that many feel are mutually exclusive to any one
HTI rifle system
... Finding a portable
.50 caliber rifle that can be deployed quickly in the field and still hit targets at extreme ranges without breaking the bank can be a daunting task... especially if a magazine fed repeater is desired. Over the last few months, I had the opportunity to fully test one set-up that may fit the bill. Zel
Custom Manufacturing's Tactilite bolt action upper receivers for AR-15 rifles may be what you are looking for!
Available in several
Cartridge Choices including the .50 BMG, .416Barrett,
.338 Lapua,
.408 Chey Tac these upper receiver assemblies are not classified as firearms and can be ordered w/o the hassle of finding a dealer and can be mailed directly to your home (in you still live in a free state). They bolt on to your AR-15 lower receiver assembly and are ready to shoot!
As rifles chambered in these formidable cartridges are used for a diversity of applications (ranging from target shooting to tactical), Zel Custom Mfg. has made a variety of barrel and receiver configurations available to the buyer.
Our test upper was the
Limited Edition Bishop Model --Triangular Barreled, .50 caliber, magazine fed T2 receiver with integral back-swept muzzle break. This configuration was designed in collaboration with
Lance Corporal Daniel Glisson in honor of his fallen comrade Cpl.
John C. Bishop.
Our test lower was a
CMMG MK4 with a standard A2 buttstock. Our test optic was a Nightforce 5.5-22
NXS. We tested this upper using a variety of ammunition including Horandy A-Max,
Barrett M33 Ball,
American Eagle XM33C and several other military loadings.
