.50 FUCA or Russian .50?

I was reading this on THR:

And I remembered that Russians use a cartridge similar to the BMG but about a centimeter longer.

That would be legal in Kali, no?

I would be surprised if .50 caliber muzzle loaders were legal anymore in Kalifornistan.

Uhh, yea, 12.7x107mm Russian, as apposed to 12.7x99mm (.50 BMG), but you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a gun in that caliber here in the US. It'd have to be something completely original and domestic. Another option is the .50 Peacemaker (I saw another name for this round spoken in Canada, but I can't recall it for the life of me) which isn't quite as powerful, but it's basically a .460 Weatherby Mag trimmed, renecked and reloaded with .50 API bullets.

I think the bore diameter on the soviet .50 is a hare too big and is cansidered a destuctive device.

No, I mean I think it's a totally different case with a different headspacing and case head diameter and stuff. You'd need a different barrel and bolt all together. Found another one today though, and interesting Canadian wildcat called the .50 Fat Mac.
