Has anyone used a bushmaster 450 pistol to hunt deer? This was brought up a few times. I believe someone here had a custom gunsmith in winterville ohio build him a 15" AR pistol upper. in 450BM and had all intentions of deer hunting with it. Under Ohio law it sure seems legal as it says "straight walled case" |

Are you saying that you cannot use an AR pistol for deer? Because its a "modern rifle" Even though technically its a pistol using a straight wall cartridge? I know a guy who made a single shot 45-70 pistol - he had it zeroed at 200 yards - he ended up shooting a doe in the head at 15 yards

You would have to use it in some form of pistol, including an AR pistol as a possibility. You could not use any type of AR rifle to hunt deer in Ohio. I have not seen a .450 pistol ever, but you could build one yourself. ETA: I see you specifically mentioned a 450 pistol in your post, I originally was only looking at your title and thought you were asking about the 450 Bushmaster Rifle. My Mistake! |

For example, 5 inch minimum barrel length, using straight walled cartridges .357 or larger(read as no .223), etc. |

If it wasn't for the deer crop damage permit, I would never bother.

Maybe the fella will post. I know he had the factory barrel cut back and a brake added and it was 15" oal. He had it on a RRA Pistol marked lower and showed quite a few pictures.
He may have posted the pictures in the AR pistol forum I can't remember. I know he said it functioned fine and was plenty accurate. I think it was JD Jones? that did the work in Winterville Ohio? |

Quoted:

I can't see why not, as long as it's a pistol. I just decided to build a 50 beowulf pistol for this very reason.
No mag limit, laser clad deer hunting with my AR........Hell yeah! |

I figure it would have to help with the aiming of such a beast, as I don't think it would be all that fun to rest against my cheek. A laser sounds logical in my head anyway.
Looks like it may be awhile before a 12'' Beowulf upper will be available, so those pics could be a long ways off. |

I don't think you can use a laser to hunt with in Ohio. it used to be in the hunting regs, not sure if it still is. might want to check. |
