The PTRD was the weapon they scaled down, to make the SKS.
As it's much larger than 50 Caliber, you could not own one without the proper authorizations from the ATF. A Tax Stamp, to say the least, assuming they are legal in your area, AND you have a range, to shoot them. 15.5X115mm is .570 gauge, and IIRC, it was listed as anti-tank and armor. Not to mention, they are long and heavy, not so portable.
.570 caliber is roughly equivalent to a 12 gauge shotgun, in size.
