Alexander Arms LLC is the originator of the large caliber AR15 style weapon concept. As the leader in the field, they are constantly improving upon their designs. As a consequence, they manufacture industry leading, 100% reliable weapons you can depend your life on. They have an intimate understanding of the function of both the rifle and the ammunition and have in-depth data on both internal, external and terminal ballistics. In a world of followers - they are leaders.

The .50 Beowulf® was designed to generate devastating stopping power at short to moderate ranges. Combining the rugged reliability of the AR15/M16 style weapons with a unique .500 inch projectile and cartridge, this semi automatic weapon is unsurpassed as a close quarter combat weapon on battlefields in the Middle East. It doesn’t stop there. This unique weapon is equally at home in the brush, capable of knocking down virtually anything you may run across. For wild pig hunting the rifle is without equal and is being used not only by hunters, but by game control agencies as well. The combination of heavy large diameter bullets, moderate velocities and 100% reliability enables the Beowulf to tackle the largest game found in North America and it has been used against Moose, Elk, Buffalo and Bear with superb results.

Providing a semi automatic, light carbine with the performance of the venerable 45-70 rifle, the .50 Beowulf® has found wide acceptance with Military and Law Enforcement agencies. The external ballistics of the .50 Beowulf® cartridge are well suited to urban environments where the shorter range template allows for more flexible application and the large projectile energy delivered by the ammunition can disable both motor vehicles and assailants with body armor. Windscreen glass does not affect the trajectory of the bullet nor does automotive body panels.

The combination of devastating stopping power and absolute reliability in a lightweight, familiar form factor, the .50 Beowulf® rifle from Alexander Arms is simply without equal.

Bill Alexander had a vision. As the top armourer for the UK, Bill had designed dozens of new weapons, small arms cartridges and vehicle armor that has been battle proven the world over. Yet, he wanted to go beyond that. He came to the US with a blank piece of paper and an imagination in overdrive. After years of design, testing and development he combined the devastating firepower of his .50 Beowulf® cartridge with a masterfully engineered variation of the venerable AR-15 light assault rifle. Not one to sit on the sidelines, Bill then saw a need for a flat shooting, hard hitting long range cartridge with accuracy far surpassing the current state of the art. His efforts led to the development of the 6.5 Grendel®. Again, he designed a variation of the AR-15 to function flawlessly with his new cartridge. It is upon these two remarkable cartridges that Alexander Arms was built.

The end result of Mr. Alexander’s efforts are U.S. made rifles that will hunt, compete, win the war on terrorism and fight like no others on the market.
