Great Lakes Firearms AR-15 .450 Bushmaster 18" Pursuit Green Camo/SS 5-Round Rifle
Great Lakes Firearms
The Great Lakes Firearms AR-15 .450 BM with 18" Pursuit Green Camo finish is purpose-built for hunters and shooters who want serious stopping power in a platform they already know how to run. Chambered in .450 Bushmaster, this rifle delivers the kind of energy needed for medium to large game without requiring a complete departure from the ergonomics and modularity of the AR platform. The 18" barrel keeps the gun maneuverable in timber and vehicles while maintaining the velocity the cartridge demands, making it a practical choice for hunters who plan to hunt in brush-heavy terrain or from a truck or blind.
The rifle's construction reflects real-world durability expectations. The lower receiver is machined from 7075 billet aluminum—premium material that resists flex and wear through years of hard use. The 18" barrel is nitride-treated 4150 chrome-moly steel, a pairing that balances toughness and corrosion resistance without the brittleness of some exotic coatings. That 1:24 twist rate is optimized for .450 BM bullet weights, ensuring stable flight downrange. The 15.125" M-LOK rail gives you mounting real estate for optics, lights, or a foregrip without adding unnecessary length.
The Pursuit Green Camo Cerakote finish isn't just looks—it's a working camouflage pattern that breaks up the rifle's outline in real hunting conditions while offering better durability than traditional paint. Paired with a 5-round magazine, this is a legal and practical configuration for hunters in jurisdictions with mag restrictions, and it's quick to top up between stages on the range.
Whether you're transitioning from standard AR calibers to .450 BM or building out a dedicated rifle for hard hunting, the Great Lakes Firearms AR-15 respects the cartridge while keeping you in familiar territory operationally.

The .450 Bushmaster is a straight-walled, large-bore cartridge designed for hunting medium to large game. It's legal in many states for deer and hog hunting, and it delivers significant energy at moderate distances. It's particularly popular with hunters who want AR platform familiarity but need more power than 5.56 or .308 Winchester.
No. The .450 Bushmaster uses its own magazine platform designed for the larger cartridge. This rifle comes with one 5-round magazine compatible with the .450 BM.
The 15.125" M-LOK rail accepts any optics with standard Picatinny mounts, as long as you use an M-LOK to Picatinny adapter block. This gives you broad compatibility with hunting scopes, red dots, and magnified optics.
Yes. At 18", this barrel strikes a practical balance for truck hunting and tight brush—shorter than a traditional rifle but long enough to deliver the velocity the .450 BM needs for effective performance downrange.
