Hello gentlemen. I've been visiting this site for a while now gaining information and ideas. This is my first post on your forum. After saving up my pennies, I contacted Trident Armory in ME, USA and placed an order. Over the summer I called, texted, and emailed changes and tweaks to my orginal order. Friends, in all my 42 years I've seldom delt with a staff of professionals more enthusiastic, understanding, and competent. This company will exceed your expectations with custom quality and in their willingness to please "you" the customer. Here is my Trident .450 bushmaster: cerakote burnt bronze upper, lower, and forearm, cerakote black 18 inch ported barrel 1'16" twist, CRT magpul fitted with limb saver pad, samson evolution 15 inch forearm, badger tactical latch, Larue QD scope mount with cerakote burnt bronze rings, and 1x4x24 Vortex viper pst scope. I've grabbed several boxes of hornady factory ammo for break-in-period and up coming season. I hunt the southern shotgun zone here in Michigan and have used a smooth bore 870 pump slug gun since 14 years old. I'm very excited as evidenced by this long post! All comments welcome, as I'm new to the .450 bushmaster and AR platform.
