California’s .50 Caliber BMG Regulation Act of 2004 defines the outlawed weapon as “a centerfire rifle that can fire a .50 BMG cartridge and is not already an assault weapon.” Catch that? So if you already have an assault weapon, you can convert it to .50 BMG using Zel Custom‘s Tactlite T2 and you’re good to go! At least until the People’s Republic gets around to closing the “.50 BMG loophole.” the Tactilite T2 .50 BMG conversion kit is now in production. You can buy this “firearms accessory” without any special paperwork, background check or waiting period. All you need is $2298. And here’s what you get . . .
The T2 receiver is CNC-machined from solid 4140 steel bar stock, heat treated for greater strength and durability, and features an integrated scope rail, for superior accuracy. The T2 comes standard with a 7075 aluminum quad-rail, black CeraKote finish and one 5-round Accuracy International magazine. Available options include choice of Mossberg or Lothar-Walther barrels, choice of barrel contour and choice of right- or left-handed receiver.
On my point of view, there are many types of heat treating processes available to steel, the most common are annealing and quenching and tempering, annealing is the process of heating the steel to a sufficiently high temperature to soften it.
