The AR500 rifle is an AR rifle like no other. Chambered in 500 Auto Max, BHA’s innovative AR500 rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. BHA was not satisfied with the large-bore cartridge offerings available on the AR platform, so the company made its own. The logical choice was something that would match the power and versatility of BHA’s lever-action Model 89 in a 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was the development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500 S&W Magnum to feed a semi-automatic rifle.

BHA’s bold AR design and large-bore 500 Auto Max cartridge put an unparalleled amount of power into a versatile, fast-firing, and enjoyable rifle. This combination of size, familiar gun manual, available accessories, and on-target power make the AR500 rifle ready to handle almost any situation. The AR500 is also available in an ATF-compliant pistol configuration: the AR500 semi-automatic pistol.

The 500 Auto Max is a rimless 500 S&W Magnum that is easy to get or reload. A very versatile cartridge, it can be had in ammunition loaded with bullets ranging from 350 grns to an amazing 600 grns. The manual loader can take over 55 different bullets ranging from 200gm to 700gm in almost any type of bullet imaginable including hard cast, hollow point, solid monolithic, etc. to the pachyderms to those of Peterbilt. Truck stopping power in a bed that weighs less than 10 lbs. Factory ammunition for the 500 Auto Max is available through Buffalo Bore, Steinel Ammunition, Underwood Ammunition, and Defiant Munitions.

Whether you’re packing 36,800 ft. lbs. of power in a lever action, or building the most powerful AR on the market, BHA’s goal is to give the customer the most bang for their buck.

About the Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the express intention of designing a Browning-type lever action weapon chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. Big Horn Armory’s American-made Model 89 closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metalworking and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September 2012, and since then, BHA has added to its large-bore lineup a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, Model 90A in 454 Casull, Model 90B in .45 Colt, Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory departed from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.
