Reeder Custom Guns - I thought it a good idea, not for defense necessarily but

For hunting AR platform guns it makes sense. The UBER ugly 9mm lever guns on the market (why is is $1200?) made me think of an alternative. Levering on a non traditional platform is not too practical. But a pump, that seems logical. I'd think the AR would be about the most adaptable rig for a "pump" action conversion you could find. I've also seen "Straight-pull" bolt conversions too. Even cheaper. All I need is the gas block you can turn off.

My objective is to NOT have my .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM or .50 brass ejected into the weeds! Any other motivation is subjective.

Still I think a very inexpensive upper conversion is reasonable. Some hawk $1200 pump AR's, I don't see it. Ditto a "bolt action" AR platform. Maybe a couple, three, hundred for a conversion, I could do that. They seem to have figured a gas block fix to use conventional produced barrels.

I like the looks of this.

The validity seems good functioning.

I have thought about trying to put together a 458 Socom bolt action. Something you wouldn't be worried about while crawling around a pig thicket

it was fun to shoot .451" bullets. The SOCOM is sort of a semi - .45/70. Should be great with 300 gr. bullets, about where the Bushmaster runs flat.

I've shot a .50 but it just seemed the same as the SOCOM but .500 bullets. .458's are more plentiful. Brass for all is so expensive!

Pretty neat, have a brass catcher for my 350

I liked the .450 Bushmaster, just a 2" .45 ACP
