    I think it's horrible and speaks volumes about a company that knowingly puts utter trash in the hands of perhaps, ill-informed gun buyers. It makes the company look terrible and not to mention it's a terrible thing to do.

    The OP should call Grant @ G&R Tactical, sometimes a little hard to get through to, but definitely worth the effort, and have him build up what you want. I'm sur he will talk you through and make recommendations. Great service and prices.....great guy. I'll build my next AR through him.

    And 99% of the time, those store owners call them Carbon Fiber to fool people into thinking they are strong when more often than not, chips and chunks come flying off.

    Bushmaster has been on a backwards slide relative to everyone else in the AR-15 market.

    They have not updated any components to their GI style product line in 20 years to keep up.

    The move to offer the carbon guns is another blunder.

    Don't get me started on the "Carbine 15 Type 97S Pistol". Been there, done that ain't doin it again. Even though I found out after I sold it that it was the magazines that were the problem........... who knew.

    N4
    6920
    LMT

    or

    Build your own.
    Hope/Pray for the best, be prepared for the worst... but when the ball drops... go barbarian.

    This is FOR SURE! I don't know how many times I read some putz on TOS describing how light the Carbon Crap was at his local gun store, and that he had to have one.... for the wife or some nonsense.

    I used to offer to make those fools ARs out of styrofoam if lightness was so important to them.

    Don't do trades (especially with shrubmasters).
