Canuck Husan .410 Shotgun Conversion for AR-15

Features:

• 18" chrome-lined smoothbore barrel with muzzle brake
• Cylinder bore
• Continuous top picatinny rail with side and bottom mini-rails at the fore-end
• Made by Husan, imported by O'Dell Engineering Ltd

Comes with
(1) Complete .410 Upper with Propretary BCG
(1) Flip-up sights
(3) 5/20-Round .410 Magazines
(1) Lockable Carry Case to hold all the above

Is it a regular unmodified ar-15 upper?

All the parts will transfer to a MS upper receiver if it is

High speed, low drag skeet shooting.

A .410 is only practical and somewhat-affordable to feed if you're running .45 Colt ammo through it, so I've got to wonder how this would do on that diet. But then I'm picturing black powder .45 rounds because how else are you going to make that much smoke out of an AR?

 

[Evil Betty]

I'd be in for a 45 colt AR

Brilliant IF, I can strip all the parts out and install them in an SLR or MS upper. Can I?

 

[TrevorF]

Why can't we hunt with this in Canada? Keep in mind every province has it's own rules for non-migratory.

 

[TrevorF]

Make something that fits the Stag 10 in a bigger bore....then we are talking!!!

AR15s being restricted (sadly and stupidly) and .410 shells being both (kinda) hard to find and $$$ (like 2x or more the cost of 12g at 1/5 the size) makes this kinda a no-go for me sadly!!!

Oh man! 28g would be mint!

 

[limit time]

Brilliant, but pointless in Canada.

So is your post. I want one !

100% depends if it can go on a non-restricted lower. If yes, then brilliant. If not, then I'm not in the least bit interested. Don't need a .410 for a range toy.

The upper can’t go on a NR lower. What someone needs to let us all know is if this is a standard AR upper. If it is then it could all be transferred over to a NR upper. If not then it’s restricted and there’s no getting around it.

the op posted 18 " barrel and even if the guts may fit into a NR ,there still is the barrel issue

It was already posted it measures longer by someone in this thread

 

[greg olmstead]

Need someone to measure it from the muzzle to bolt face and make sure its 470mm or more and I will buy one for my ms

 

[Brian46]

I would rather the retailer confirm this is a regular ar15 upper receiver that has not been modified. Without knowing that, the parts may not swap into a MS or similar upper

when you remove the muzzle break, it's 18.5 inches from tip to bolt face.
that's what i gave the RCMP tech and he was happy with it cause they issued my updated registration with it.

Since you have one, can you tell if it is a std un modified ar 15 upper receiver?

When you first pick it up it looks like a standard upper but it's not.
The charge handle and the bolt are not standard. on the bottom of the upper back by the forward assist there is also some flap thing that drops down into the lower. No idea what the purpose of that flap is.

I haven't fired mine yet. The process to get my registration updated from a frame to fire-able .410 took 6 weeks and by the time i got the new registration it turned cold and snowy.
the upper was loose on my PA-15 lower. I had to do the o-ring trick on the pivot pin to make it nice and snug.

 

[Johnyy]

What kind of 1911's are you guys buying??

Exactly, Even my first Restricted, long ago a beat up Norinco Commander, I paid $175 for, never jammed, consistently shot like 6" high , but she never jam!

& I like the .410 upper, but it needs be mated to a NR receiver set.

The upper is not exactly an ar15 upper.
the cam pin is slightly different, bigger and the barrel nut is kinda special as it's part of the gas system and is screwed into place.
I'm sure it could be made to work on a NR platform through some upper receiver grinding and tinkering but out of the box, no it cannot be stripped and built into an NR upper.

I tried one through another vendor earlier in the year. I learned the expensive way.

I was happy to get rid of that thing at a loss, and made the new owner fully aware of how terribly it operated.

Maybe I had that 1 lemon out of the whole production run of these things, but it was enough to keep me away from these things for the rest of my life.


Good luck to anyone diving in.....
