Black Rain Ordnance CARNIVORE — .450 Bushmaster, 16" Barrel, AR-15 Platform | BROCARNIVORE450B | UPC: 680175926185
Turn your AR-15 into a big-bore hunting hammer with the Black Rain Ordnance CARNIVORE .450 Bushmaster (BROCARNIVORE450B). Purpose-built around a 16-inch .450 Bushmaster barrel, this CARNIVORE configuration brings serious stopping power to the AR platform for whitetail, hogs, and black bear at practical field distances. From its free-float, optics-ready handguard to its threaded muzzle (ideal for brakes and suppressor mounts, where legal), the CARNIVORE is engineered for reliability, accuracy, and clean handling in a lightweight, modern package.
Why Choose .450 Bushmaster on the AR-15?
The .450 Bushmaster delivers big-bore energy and excellent terminal performance out of a carbine-length barrel, making it a favorite in straight-wall cartridge states and thick timber where shots come fast. Pair that punch with the AR’s ergonomic controls, fast follow-ups, and customization, and you get a versatile, do-it-all hunting setup that’s as confident in the deer woods as it is on the range.
Key Features & Advantages
Caliber: .450 Bushmaster — hard-hitting, straight-wall cartridge with wide hunting ammo availability.
Barrel Length: 16 inches — the sweet spot for maneuverability in blinds and brush while maintaining dependable velocity.
Threaded Muzzle: Ready for muzzle brakes, flash hiders, or QD suppressor mounts (verify local/NFA laws). Many CARNIVORE builds include an aggressive, recoil-taming brake.
Free-Float Handguard: Slim profile with M-LOK®/Picatinny real estate for lights, bipods, or handstops; free-floating preserves barrel harmonics for repeatable point of impact.
Optics-Ready: Continuous top rail accepts red dots, prism sights, or LPVOs (1-6x/1-8x) for flexible zeroing out to typical .450 BM ranges.
AR-15 Modularity: Uses standard AR ergonomics and most AR accessories; magazines are .450 BM-compatible (capacity varies by mag design).
Durable Fit & Finish: Black Rain machining and finishing standards emphasize tight lock-up, clean lines, and field-ready corrosion resistance.
Note: Some package contents (muzzle device, furniture style, gas system details, and magazine) can vary by production lot. Always verify included components.
Field Performance You Can Feel
Confidence on Game: .450 Bushmaster’s heavy bullets deliver authoritative energy transfer and straight-line penetration on medium game.
Manageable Recoil: A threaded brake (if included) and the AR’s inline stock geometry help keep the rifle flat for faster follow-up shots.
Cold-Weather Ready: Generous controls and a grippy handguard make operation easy with gloved hands in late-season hunts.
Reliable Cycling: Purpose-tuned gas system and feed geometry (with proper .450 BM mags) support smooth feeding of a wide variety of hunting loads.
Ideal Use Cases
Whitetail in Straight-Wall States: Meet legal requirements while gaining big-bore performance in a compact carbine.
Hog & Black Bear Hunts: Deliver decisive terminal results in the brush and at bait sites.
Ranch & Property Management: Authority on larger pests with the ergonomics of the AR platform.
Range Work & Zero Validation: Validate dope with your chosen bullet weight for consistent field hits.
Setup Tips for Best Results
Optic Selection:
Muzzle Device:
Ammo Pairing: Test several .450 BM loads (e.g., 250–300gr) to find your barrel’s accuracy node; re-confirm zero when changing bullet weights.
Magazines: Use .450 Bushmaster-specific mags or followers to ensure consistent feeding and last-round hold-open.
Sling & Support: A two-point adjustable sling and a lightweight bipod or shooting sticks help stabilize from blinds and field rests.
