From the posts in the GUN PICTURES..
I was always concerned with the AR upper & lower fame's ability to withstand abuse. I remember the M16's we had in Nam and how the frame would dissolve around the front pin from the sweat in our hands.
I figured that they were engineered for a mouse(5.56) round that did not need substantial "meat" in the material build..
Looks like I was off by a large margin.

Thanks TR for the 1st hand info.. I was thinking that if everyone compares the 50 wulf to a 45.70, then the recoil should be similar. But on the flip side, everything I read on the AA web site and forums says you can use a standard AR lower with stock USGI buffers & springs and not brake the frame??
The specs for an AR upper & lower frame must be way over engineered???

gonna order a 50 upper. and im just wondering what buffer and spring i need for it in a carbine stock?

The Beowulf will run happily on a regular carbine spring and buffer and does not demand any changes. Using an H2 will slightly smooth the action if you want to upgrade.

What about mating it to a Bushmaster lower with an A2-style fixed stock? Can I still get away with not changing the spring or buffer?

Yes, as long as the spring and buffer are in spec they will work well. The Beowulf was designed around the rifle stock and buffer/spring set up.

Has anyone ever experienced AR frame failure, due to excessive recoil or other ammo related issues??
PS: Ordered a case of ammo,, now the wait..
