Bushmaster .450

[TheManInBlack]

Is this rifle available in Canada? I've been looking at alot of our dealers here and nada? Any leads?

 

[mrsmitty]

What we really need is a .458 Socom pistol and some 10 round .458 socom pistol mags

 

[elektrobug]

Agreed. .458 Socom 10 round mags would be perfect.

 

[TheManInBlack]

So no one knows?

 

[carlchevalier]

Let me know if someone actually answers your original question. I would like a 450-458s or a .50 beowulf AR. I've never seen any for sale here.

 

[TheManInBlack]

I just got an email from Epps. He said nothing listed on the imports yet but to check in a few weeks after the shot show.

 

[Kodiak Outpost]

I thought about importing some a while ago but I'm not sure if there is demand.

 

[ESQ]

Is the ammunition available?

 

[TheManInBlack]

I'm demanding at the right price

 

[Kodiak Outpost]

So that's one. It'll take more than that to convince me

Unless ammo is available, I don't see it being a big seller.

 

[mrsmitty]

Don't need ammo just bring in a .458 socom pistol and i will buy it along with tons .458socom pistol mags you will make tons on the pistol mags believe me

 

[GilesG]

Don't need ammo just bring in a .458 socom pistol and i will buy it along with tons .458socom pistol mags you will make tons on the pistol mags believe me

If they can fit & feed .223, and get approved, you have me as an investor.

 

[P90Puma]

Who knows what that GilesG guy is talking about , but yes 10 round .458 socom pistol mags would be perfect.

 

[elektrobug]

Even if the RCMP, for some reason, will not aprove the pistol mags, a 5 round .458 rilfe mags will be good too.

 

[TheManInBlack]

So that's one. It'll take more than that to convince me

Unless ammo is available, I don't see it being a big seller.

I dont think you used those rules bring in the FS2000's LOL

 

[dudley2112]

I dont think you used those rules bring in the FS2000's LOL

ammo for those is commonly available though.

 

[TheManInBlack]

OK the shot show is over any word dealers????

I don't think anyone cares about the .450 Bushmaster, it answers a question nobody was asking, and aside from the novelty of being different it won't be around for long. The AR is trying to be too much to everyone 5.56/7.62/6.8SPC/6.5Grendel/.450Bushmaster/.458Socom/.410/9mm/.50Cal ect. ect. ect. Problem is IMO that the system itself isn't the pinnacle of reliability or simplicity and is dated. The only usefull cartridge I see extending it's usefulness is the 6.5 Grendel along with piston driven alternatives, but then why not simply move to a more updated system and be done with it.

I dont think I would go that far..... but yes leave it as a 5.56 or 6.5g and lets the rounds fly!I dont think the system is dated at all IMHO I think its still the best system out there

The mag would still be limited to 10 center fire rounds regardless of what type is being jammed into it...AFAIK. This is very interesting. Anyone have any legal insight into this?
