The Great Lakes Firearms AR-15 .450 Bushmaster is a semi-automatic rifle built for hunters and shooters who want serious stopping power in a modern, modular platform. Chambered in .450 Bushmaster—a cartridge known for its hard-hitting performance on medium to large game—this 18-inch rifle strikes a balance between maneuverability and velocity. The 1:24 twist barrel stabilizes Bushmaster rounds reliably, while the 5-round magazine capacity keeps you ready for follow-up shots without excess bulk. Whether you're hunting hog, deer, or testing your skills at distance, this rifle delivers the accuracy and reliability you expect from an AR-pattern gun.

Built on a 7075 aluminum upper and lower receiver, this rifle is engineered for durability in demanding conditions. The 15.25-inch aluminum handguard features full picatinny rail coverage, giving you unlimited mounting options for optics, lights, or other tactical accessories. Mid-length gas tube and 0.750 gas block keep the system running smooth across a wide range of ammunition. A milspec 5.5–6 lb trigger gives you a predictable break, while the included muzzle brake helps manage recoil—welcome in a cartridge with .450 Bushmaster's punch. At 6.4 lbs unloaded, it's lightweight enough to carry all day but substantial enough to shoot confidently from the bench or in the field.

Great Lakes Firearms tops it off with a durable Cerakote finish and mil-spec polymer grip, designed to withstand hard use. The rifle ships with one 5-round magazine and a muzzle brake ready to install (wrench-tight without Loctite). No sights are included, leaving the optic choice entirely up to you—mount a low-power variable scope for hunting or a red dot for faster target work. This is a no-frills, purpose-built rifle for shooters who know what they want and value quality over hype.
