BMWR12 35 Posted October 30, 2020 They are a Destructive device. Your best bet is a Boys rifle converted to .50BMG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10X 3,278 Posted October 30, 2020 Anyone know how the ballistics of the 13 mm round compares with the .50 BMG? They were developed about the same time, the 13 mm is just a shade over .50 cal, but dang, that Mauser rifle is a beast! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your best bet is a Boys rifle converted to .50BMG I would not be so quick to state that as fact, since the ATF has stated it is not a destructive device; "ATF Publication 5300.11 Revised December 2007 SECTION III: Weapons Removed From The NFA As Collector's Items And Classified As Curios Or Relics Under The GCA The Bureau has determined that by reason of the date of their manufacture, value, design and other characteristics, the following firearms are primarily collector's items and are not likely to be used as weapons and, therefore, are excluded from the provisions of the National Firearms Act. Further, the Bureau has determined that such firearms are also Curios or Relics as defined in 27 CFR 478.11. Thus, licensed collectors may acquire, hold, or dispose to them as Curios or Relics subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR Part 478. They are still "firearms" as defined in 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 ... German, model 1918, (WWI) anti-tank rifle (PzAgew 1918), cal. 13.25mm." This is on page 35 and page 36 of this document: https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/docs/p-5300-11-firearms-curios-or-relics-listpdf/download?destination=file/2026/download @Dave Archibald the ammunition isn't readily available but if you have a lathe you can make the bullets from stock and the cases from .50BMG.
