The Bush's rep at SHOT Show mentioned at the end of an interview that there might even be a "Gordy" carbine in the works, wink wink.
Bring back the mini Y comp brake so I can have a .50 cal muzzle blast out of my 5.56 AR.
Anderson seems to be jumping on the A2 bandwagon, not that it's anything to get excited about:

Aw man, I remember those from the klinton era. It was the only AR I could afford at that time. After a few low light sessions, I sold it to a buddy who doesn't shoot, so it didn't matter what flame came out of that thing.Quote:

I'll buy one simply because more companies in the business is good for everyone. Their history is important, for a long time, they were the only game in town and that deserves respect, regardless of their reputation.
Glad they kept their logo. :cool:Quote:

With Colt all but gone (gone overseas, anyway) Bushmaster, FN, and BCM are about the only ones left. Hopefully NoDak Spud's infusion in to PSA will raise their QC. I've never seen AR uppers and lowers tolerances like NoDak Spud's did.
I just wish they didn't do the bullet markings for safe, semi, etc.Quote:

Looked so awesome in the pages of SOF, but the biggest pile of crap you ever saw in person.
Looks like a poor man's Galil.
Good for conserving ammo. After 5 rounds, you can pack up and go home to let your brain recover.Quote:

Great for entry teams. You yell "BANG OUT", stick your muzzle inside the door, fire a round and enter. 90% pf the people in the room will be on their asses. Really makes you appreciate how much a flash hider actual does.Quote:

That’s a new one on me!
Looking at Bushmaster's new A2's, do the handguards appear to be the "fat" variety?

Not based on that picture, they appear to be the standard mil-spec type as far as their size. However, they still might be cheap knock offs, as most commercial brand A2 handguards usually are.Quote:

Currently, I believe Colt and possibly H&R is the only source of correct mil-spec A2 handguards. Windham Weaponry used to carry them as well, but I believe that might not be the case anymore.
