Hi,
Im new to the site. I purchased a 450 bushmaster a few months back. I've made a few modifications and added a Leopuld scope. I will admit the collapsable butt stock is not as forgiving when firing a 120 rounds in one sitting :P

Camo black combo color scheme looks great! Did that camo come stock?

I was going to suggest a limbsaver type pad on the butt stock, but it looks like you already have that. I got mine at Brownells - http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/cid=0/k=recoil+pad+sog/t=P/ksubmit=y/Products/All/search=recoil_pad_sog- and haven't had any ill effects with 100+ rounds in a single session.

I painted it myself with the 4 paint set you can get from walmart that is non reflective. took a pic outside to see the three colors and the "mostly" non reflective clear coat that prevents scratching. I have a Aimpoint Mil grade red dot painted the same color from my last deployment that looks cool but doesn't do much for me at 300 yards to ID Deer Racks :)

Several are now declassified due to the fact the MRAPs are getting scrapped..may be used for training vechiles at home but the new HUMV is what we are moving too now. It is currently being fielded at all major Military bases.

Get with GunNut and get you an A1 Noonan Recoil-Less stock like the one he sold me. It's so sweet, even a 100 pound, boney feather-weight 14 year old can shoot it comfortably.

I was considering just making one. Injection molding is really not that hard and I already have an A2 stock off my bushmaster...then I would have to camo it up :geek:
