There is a gunshop in Michigan that commissioned Ruger to make some Ruger American rifles in 450 Bushmaster with 16" threaded barrels and a 22" unthreaded barrel.
The initial run was 500 rifles which sold quickly so they commissioned another 500 and it has proven so popular that I beleive Ruger is going to add it to it's regular lineup for 2017.
They are listed on gunbroker for sale or you can get one from the shop.
Tested on a Michigan outdoor show, the rifles were putting 6 shots from 100, 200 and 300 yards into a less than 2" group and getting 2280fps with Hornady 250gr SST ammo out of the 16" barrel.
Here is an article on Realguns:

Here is the gun shop that initially commissioned them, info listed about it under the Store Hours.

Here is the link to the Michigan outdoor show with testing beginning at around the 16:00 mark.

Anyways, I got one off gunbroker and will test it later.
Barrel threads are 11/16x24, so I'll have to see if I can get a thread adaptor for my hybrid can I just picked up.
