Awesome.. #twitter #facebook ;)
I think we are past #674 though. How did BM respond? Did they blame it on the fact you unpacked the BM to fast?
Looks like nothing a little crazy glue and duct tape wouldn't fix.
Daniel defense has LAV do their torture test ..... and BM has has the UPS guy. Sounds about right.
eh! it will buff right out. that is exactly what i want in a rifle to protect me and my family.
Glad to see another Spokane guy that doesn't think BM/DPMS/Oly are battle ready. Cruising the local forums or classified can be unnerving sometimes.
I went to Wally mart the other day and spotted a new BM Mforgery in the case. I asked to look at it. It's 2013 and they are still not staking the castle nuts, using carbine buffers and crappy stakings on the BCG.
Sure that isn't their new takedown edition?
Are the remington M4's going to be made in bushmaster's plants when they fill thier mil contract. (Assuming that is still the plan. I have not heard an update since the colt protest)
Good thing for soldiers. That pic did make me laugh. That sucks for you but damn...
Wow...that is all kinds of special.
Not to come down on all the Bushmaster hate but......
I didn't know they where using that old style stock,every one I've seen has the M4 type stock.
Ya'sure that's a new gun,sport?
*ETA*
Okay the Carbon 15 ORC does but there's no "Sportical" in their line up.
I could see the plastic ones doing that if you dropped it hard enough.
And I still have friends who want these over a colt, to save only couple hundred bucks... :haha:
But but but it's mil spec just like Colt bla bla bla. Just when you think you have seen everything. I have never seen anything like that even from our beat to shit issued weapons in basic.
Ehh, most people don't use them heavily enough to break parts that would normally hold up on a quality ARs and, even if they do, they assume that the problems associated with low end ARs are just endemic to all ARs. Unfortunately, this is what gives the AR it's reputation for being fragile and unreliable: Low end manufacturing. For every person who buys a Colt there are ten people who decide to save $50 and buy a Bushmaster or Stag. The funny thing is, they'll insist that you're just paying for the name when you buy a Colt or BCM while admitting that their Bushmaster jams and breaks all the time. They'll chalk it up to the AR being a fun range toy but a POS service rifle and talk about how it's a tragedy that the stupid politicians insist on always going with the lowest bidder when they should go back to the M14 or go with the AK.
All in all, I can understand not wanting to spend a lot of money on something that is only going to see 100-200 rounds a year and not caring about milspec or what not. If you're really into it, or need a rifle you can depend on, that's when you need to take quality into account.
So this thing comes with a sawed off FSB and hand guards. No option for backup sights?:neo:
Ohhhh, it's F marked. I'm OK with that.
The cardboard box arrived in better shape than the rifle did!
Sorry not a sportical that is the DPMS flat top. The BM that broke is the Carbon 15 OCR. I fixed my OP.

TS, I was wondering when you'd have that posted here. I am curious how your supplier and Bushy try to pass the blame on this one.
Krull, I know the OP personally. That is a new POS Bushy as they don't sell used weapons. The stupid thing is the siblings of this Bushmaster sit right next to perfectly good Colts and Sig M400s on the rack and the Bushy sells first. You really can't fix stupid.
If you bought a Bushmaster and a few inches of the barrel broke off, would you have to get a tax stamp for it?
Ah, just gorilla glue it back together. Good as new!
I see that the same people who worked in shipping when my Bushmaster was returned to me from warranty repair are still employed there.
He corrected it,I was just being picky and wanted to know just what we were dealing with.
Like I said I can see the Carbon i.e. all plastic receiver group ones cracking like that-I had one in pistol form and could see it wouldn't take much to have a problem.
Overall Bushmaster is a good way to get into AR's and if you're smart,and admittedly some gun owners aren't,you'll get a better one later on.
For plinking or hunting they aren't bad,even the plastic ones.
Never had the $$$ to see how much shooting it would take to kill one :eek:
The sad thing is, I have out several rifles together now using PSA. The total cost was less then what most BM on the shelves are and at they were sprotting FN made CHF barrels and MPI tested bolts and properly staked carriers. I am not bragging on PSA quality, I am just saying if your on a budget, there are so many better choices then BM, yet that is what everyone buys who does not know better.
Don't understand the plastic ar receivers when normal lowers are so cheap.
When I decided to buy an ar I picked a bad time in history. The bushmaster I bought was all that was available. So a bushmaster 14.5 was my first ar. I still have it.
I understand they have their problems but I don't view a simple castle nut stake as one of them. It's my understanding that KAC doesn't stake their castle nuts either but nobody makes a big deal out of that.
I had changed out stocks on one of my DD rifles and had the moe left and decided to put it on the bushy. Bushy had a commercial receiver extension on it naturally so I had to change that out.
It took damn near an act of God to get the extension off the bushy. It wasn't going to loosen up from use.
Some of the low end AR manufacturers definitely have a great ad campaign going, even if it's often just word-of-mouth. I've run into a number of people in the military who bought a Bushmaster or Rock River and never even heard of BCM, LMT, DD, etc. I was talking with my brother-in-law a couple months ago - he bought an M&P with Magpul furniture a few years back, and he told me "but what I really want is a Bushmaster." I spent a few minutes trying to fill him in on better brands, but I'm not sure it sunk in. I'm not sure where people learn about these brands, but I think part of the name recognition unfortunately comes from news stories about incidents like Sandy Hook.

Advertising.
In every gun magazine that never says a negative thing about the companies paying big money to advertise in their rags....

I'm glad bushmaster likes to assume we all lost our man cards. Maybe they should get card instead.... The one that says QUALITY RIFLE MANUFACTURER on it.
I mean, they fuct up the Magpul Masada too....
