Man!!! Nothing like running through a couple boxes of 450 in 30 sec. LOL.

Hayden.

 

Your shoulder and wallet would be very angry with you.....

 

If I wasn't sitting in Detroit airport, I might have had to have "private" moment over the thought of a 450 Marlin on the AR platform. It's probably sacrilege but I figure Mr. Marlin is rolling plenty in his grave these days anyway.

 

Now if they would make a 35 rem. that would be quickly on my list of have to have guns.

 

They did show the .35 as available.....

 

I was looking at the Accuracy Systems AR-10 in 450Marlin...anyone own one of these? I found a post on this but not details, I was originally toying with a 450bushmaster...but...no way would I gofor that if a 450Marlin exists and is decent!!
Does this count as marlinitis if I want a black gun in a Marlin caliber?(hoping I haven't caught another strain of the disease!)
Looks cool as hell and I am not one for black rifles, but hell, I already reload for the 450marlin!! Need some details though as to how it performs, real life, not the hype on the website.
Check it out, just scroll down or do a search on the page for 450marlin
Custom AR10 Rifles Accuracy Systems Gunsmith Gunsmithing AR 10

That would be called BRD or "Black Rifle Disease", which is just as bad as Marlinitis.

 

I have hundreds of 450marlin brass sitting around doing nothing....would possibly be a good experiment...but I guess no one already has this? Looks fun as hell!

 

AR15.com probably has some stuff.

 

Ha!! Does this get me an "enablers point" or two?

 

A point or two? Dear lord this ought to earn some kind of title like duke or baron of enabling. Combine two somewhat controlled addictions in one place? Yea you are on your way to some kind of title.

 

Do you think they'll offer an optional lever for the receiver? I'm not much of an AR guy but it does seem mighty interesting.

 

My shoulder hurts just thinking about it.

 

Oh my I think I see a ar in my future.

 

And I thought I was happy with my 450bushmaster. Now I must have this beast.

 

I was thinking today that a saddle ring on my 450 bushmaster would be really nice. :ahhhhh:
The only thing I would trade it for is a 458 socom. Can't see myself needing much more. Sure does a (bang up) job on a deer. The look on my sons face was priceless when he broke in the 450 on a deer. If there ever was a smack down that was one.

 

I had to stop looking at that website! I really get that shakes thinking about that AR-10 in 450marlin! 20-26" bbl, muzzle brake..mmmmmmm

 

mazer my friend, you need help lol.

 

Don't I know it! :biggrin:

 

I would get one in 444, if you could get 20/30 round mags!

 

If i only had 3k laying around ......... 24 for the nasty black gun and the rest for ammo ......

 

If you're going to put .450 Marlin through an AR platform you'd better strap yourself in, set it for 3 round bursts, and have about a 9 lb. rifle.
Oh, and take 3 Ibuprofin.

 

Have you hefted an AR-10? Those things are not light. I'm thinking ina 450marlin 12 lbs. ..with a nice big muzzlebrake, maybe 20-26" bbl.....oh yea!

 

I like the idea, but you better get ya a tripod and some sand bags 'cause you ain't gonna want to carry it far. The term crew-served weapon comes to mind :biggrin:

 

And since it's magazine fed, I could use the 480gr spitzers that shoot great in my Sharps!
The 480gr .45cal bullet is third from the right in this pic.

 

Got a 450 Bushmaster upper the other day and finally got to shoot it at my friends ranch Sunday. All I have to say is "OUCH!" That thing kicks like mule. Worse the my 45-70 and 450M. Cant imagine a 450M in semi auto.

 

I sure didn't need this thread. I have been considering a 458 SOCOM but having an AR-10T in .308 the 450M sure is tempting. Now if I can just come up with another tax return..or win the lottery...or find $1600.00 I would be set. Gotta start saving!

 

Go get one, Devil Dog! I know I want one but, since I don't have a AR-10 platform, it's a whole rifle for me. I'm not big on being the guinea pig and have read some internet sniping between this company and another with no real firm "I love it" along the way. I'm not throwing stones here, but I don't want to be the first one off the plank.

Semper Fi!

 

I'm still on the fence about this...I keep hoping I'll get a deal on an AR-10 so I only need the upper But we'll see.
