I did it with mine but I just put on rail ladders instead of full covers.

Very nice! What handguard did you go with? I suppose I could go with one like that only I would go with the rail guards. I don't feel I would need all the rails since the .450 upper would be for deer.
I guess another reason I don't want to stay with the factory tubular handguard is I will be swapping my 5.56 upper out and use that lower for the .450. At least for the time being. My 5.56 lower has Magpul OD green furniture. The route you went would allow me to use OD green rail covers.
In the future I will end up buying another Palmetto State Armory lower and build a lower strictly for the .450.
