This guide details converting an AR-15 to fire the .450 Bushmaster cartridge, primarily as a compliance measure for ATF pistol brace regulations. It involves installing a 16-inch or longer .450 Bushmaster upper receiver. The video also highlights the cartridge's effectiveness for hunting in 'straight-wall' states and discusses a 'scope eye' injury as a cautionary tale regarding recoil management.
This guide, drawing from Brownells, Inc., explains the critical concept of eye relief for various firearm optics. It details the recommended distances for standard rifle scopes (1.5-3 inches), scout scopes (10-16 inches), handgun scopes (arm's length), and red dot sights (unlimited). The information emphasizes maintaining proper distance to prevent injuries, especially with heavy recoiling calibers, and references Jeff Cooper's scout rifle concept.
