A Special 450 Bushmaster Project
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2015 8:12 pm
Back a few years ago, Tim and myself had a conversation that probably bounced back and forth for over a week discussing the possibility of a 450 Bushmaster offered in a single shot, H&R/New Englander breakover single shot rifle barrel that could be put on an existing receiver. Most of our time was spent discussing the extractor, since the 450B has a recessed rim. Our "project" basically died before it saw an engineers' pencil.
But someone was either eavesdropping on our cell phones or reading our minds. Because now, theres a gunworks in Michigan who is making this exact same thing.
Ben Newton of BK Guns N Stuff has been working hard in his shop making these little jewels.
Ben and his single shot 450 Bushmasters first caught my attention on our FaceBook page. Back on September 10th, Ben posted a few pictures on our group page and made this announcement.

"-----450 BUSHMASTER---- Time to let the cat out of the bag. We are working on a single shot 450 bushmaster rifle. We think it is high time to get away from the $1000 plus dollar range. We will have lots of options for these. They are based on the New England/H&R Sb2 receiver. Let's us know if you have any questions, comments, or interest!!"
........
Well guys, I fell in love. So, I took the plunge. While the barrel only conversion is available, I ordered a complete rifle.
If you want more information on this little rifle, go to my facebook page and find my post that I shared 0n 12/11/2015 around 8:05PM central time. meanwhile, here's a few pictures....
