Black Hole Weaponry is having an August sale = 20% off, promo code is on home page.
They have a lot of chambering's, including our 450 Bushmaster.
Don't know to much about them, if you have any experience please chime in.
I've been thinking about a 18" wylde build.

I shoot a custom chambered wildcat (6mm x 6.8 SPC) these folks sent out to me. The polygonal rifling is their major difference from other good barrel makers. It takes forever to get stuff from them.

My 6mm shoots great. You can really push loads. Short of a three or two groove bore, or even a good AR Performance 5R, you can't get much less constriction and still get superb accuracy. Cleans very easily. They build a nice barrel. $395 or so for a basic barrel seems a bit stiff but Trident Arms gets similar. But, You can get the bolt from Trident with the barrel.

For a thumper, I'm not ready to give that much for a barrel and tie up half again that much for a bolt/carrier assembly.

I can't speak for their 450, but I have a 5.56 18" 1/8 twist with mid gas that shoots sub MOA with Hornady 55gr SP ammo. Love the barrel. Great finish and quality.

I can only comment on Trident cause I don't know the lead time of the others. I had my barrel and bolt from them In exactly 4 weeks.
