50 BMG Raufoss Civillian Legal?

hughes1

Is .50 BMG Raufoss legal for civillians to own in states where tracer and incideary are legal? The Raufoss round is classed as (API MK211 mod 0)

Under Federal law, yes. State and municipal regulations can - and do - vary, so you'll need to familiarize yourself with the laws which pertain to the jurisdiction where you live to be certain. Not a problem in most "red" states.

As above.
Legal here in AR.

But where in the heck are you going to get them?
Serbu had the last ones I know of.

If you have a source and don't mind, please email it to me at cpermd@ahecfs.uams.edu.

Never heard of them before.What are they?

For you folks trying to find some info, the correct spelling is Raufus. That should help.
AP round with HE innards.

Correctly spelled Raufoss (E.G.): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raufoss_Mk211 or http://www.nammo.com/templates/Subsidiary.aspx?id=149

People selling "Raufus" rounds are incendiary only and lack the HE explosive or the tungsten penetrate. Real Raufoss rounds contain incendiary, a tungsten core penetrator, and HE explosive.

I picked up all my examples at cartridge shows. The biggest of these is the annual international show which will be held next week in St. Louis (Marriott by airport). Exhibition / sales floor open Thur. - Fri. - Sat. . . . but Saturday is very much hit or miss.

Thank you Hughes1 for the differentiaton.
I wondered why this was spelled three ways.
