New Bushy .308 ORC

Anybody try one of these yet? (This is the new one that takes SR-25 mags, not the old design that took FAL mags).

Anybody?

Sorry, no bananas.

I have one and have been running it a fair amount.

About halfway down here:

Interested in this platform. I would like to hear what you have to say about it Kelly.

I'm really impressed so far. With the LR PMags its been 100% so far, but I'm just now approaching 300rds. The midlength gas system combined with BABC makes it a dream to shoot. I have a few complaints however.

1) The CH is a flimsy POS (I'm getting a BCM-GF for it)

2) The bolt and bolt carrier is a bit rough overall. Nothing has happened to make me think its going to fail, but still I'm considering getting a spare of each and having them shotpeened and magnafluxed out of pocket.

3) The bolt catch is slightly recessed into the upper receiver and makes it hard to hit under stress/reloads. I'm hoping that an extended bolt catch/ebr of some flavor solves this.

That's all that I really at the moment. I'll keep posting as I get more trigger time with it.

One concern I have is aftermarket rails, such as Daniel Defense. Will the DD rails that fit DPSM uppers fit the bushy? Will they be flush? Yes, I called DD, and they haven't tried it yet.
