Why Choose the PRO2A 10.5" 450 Bushmaster Upper?
The 450 Bushmaster is celebrated for delivering devastating straight-wall stopping power, making it a top choice for brush hunting deer, bear, and hogs.

This balances compact, lightweight maneuverability in dense brush with reliable, factory-tested execution. If you need maximum kinetic energy from a short-barreled AR platform, this complete assembly offers a rugged, American-made solution.
