Recently I've blogged about Tactilite and their 50BMG upper for the AR. Well, they've gone and made an upper in .416 Barrett (the only known caliber capable of making Chuck Norris flinch)
ODESSA, FL (August 9, 2009) – Due on the success of the Tacilite .50 BMG, Zel Custom Manufacturing has released,today, a new line of Tactilite that convert a standard AR-15 into a .416 Barrett bolt-action rifle. The Tactilite, a complete upper assembly that allows a user to quickly convert an AR-15 rifle into a precision single-shot, bolt-action rifle, chambered in either .50 BMG or .416 Barrett, has been a big hit for Zel Custom. Since its release in June 2009, the Tactilite has been enthusiastically received by the shooting community and have caused sales to skyrocket for the new company. “From casual shooters to the professional user to even the on-line gaming community, the Tactilite .50 BMG has received an incredibly positive response.

I've yet to shoot either of these offerings, but at some point I'm going to make it up to Odessa and tour their plant and hopefully get a chance to try these out. It's a lot of work and effort, but I'm doing my part to make Sarah Brady cry!
