Ok I am thinking I need one of these. Except for the backblast.

You probably can, I'm willing to bet you'd have to do something to the locking mechanism and recoil spring to handle the extra mass on the barrel because it's reciprocating, but that doesn't sound like too much of an issue, it'd be the same as just having a longer barrel. You'd also probably want a suppressor with a bigger ID than normal just to be on the safe side to avoid baffle strikes.

nice rifle, it is made in hungary and shoots the 14.5x114 and is bit bigger than the 50 BMG but a hair slower.
noticed they are wearing S&B scopes, good stuff.

They did kinda fix the sloppy barrel thing with an update but I had to chuckle a bit at the "crazy accurate" thing too.

That's the Gephard Lynx and you can't find them here. More anti-material. There is a semi-auto 50 BMG with a short stroke type action coming out very soon called the Leader 50. Just Google Leader 50 for info on David Crane's Defense Review article on it. I did not shoot it yet but handled it at SHOT. Very well balanced and weighs only 17 lbs. with a large muzzle brake to manage recoil. Will be interesting to see how it shoots. Also coming out in .416 Barrett.
