[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 844110, member: 10"] The EDMs are pretty cool rigs for sure. I have looked at their 50 several times but just could not justify the cost when I could get an AR-50 for 1/3 the price and I have never worried about keeping a 50 BMG class weapon compact!! :D I have worked with a load of shellholder rifles but all in the 50 BMG class. THey are simple and they work very well and generally quite strong. Still, every one I have owned has gotten tiresome working the bolt and feeding the action. Their main advantage is cost to manufacture and that they keep the rifles OAL much shorter which is why they are used a lot for bullpup designs. Certainly was not trying to down talk them, just have never used them in anything smaller then the 50s and have never used one for a build. [/QUOTE]
