Remington announces R-15 in .450 Bushmaster

[Doxadude]

Hey... new to the forum. I picked up a bushy upper back in november and have had a blast shooting it. I saw the writing on the wall with remington offering 450 loads... and given their parent company relationship with bushmaster, they now have the R-15 on their website in .450 bushmaster. Now that makes two companies chambering it and 3 factory loads available (well... I use the term "available" loosely) Looks like our little cartridge is on it's way up in this world!

From Remy's website:

Autoloading 18" 450 Bushmaster 36 1/4" 10" 60102

Cool they are making it in an 18" just wish the muzzle was threaded. Nice to have options though.

Welcome to the Board Doxadude and a little picture of your topic, just one question, who is that dashing, suave, debonair, good looking man in that picture..lol Ok, how about, some other adjectives that are somewhat more affable, but either way, that 450 sure looks good on him, wouldn't you say!!..t

Has anyone handled one of these Remington thumpers up close? In the pictures of them, it appears that Remington has destroyed the muzzle threads. Can anyone confirm?
Thanks,

Welcome to the community Hoot! Haven't handled one yet but from what I have see there is no threaded muzzle. Maybe Tim (Wildcatter) has had some time with their release.

Yup, and welcome Hoot, good to have ya posting here. That good looking, dashing, wonderful guy on the front of our "Front Page" (you may have to scroll down a little to see it or click here - http://i46.tinypic.com/21nejv4.jpg), told me they handle just great and that there are no threads and no brake, but if one was desired, most any brake would work as the muzzle dia is .750 (forgive me, I'm having a little fun here, I don't have the moxie, so someone tell him who that Goofball of a Crumbesion, in that picture is, before Hoot pounds me)..

It sure handles well and I personally like the 18" barrel, as the trade off for the 16" to 20", it isn't so long to make car, airplane, or Boat travel cumbersome and the velocities are still respectable. My personal weapon is an 18"er..t
