And keep in mind that Bushmaster is now owned by that same huge hedge fund that owns Remington and DPMS . . .

This is going to shock the industry.

I have wondered how Magpul was going to get them in out in large enough numbers to be viable.

I’m sure this is going to be a win-win for both companies and it's a damn smart move. Magpul brings their weapon design & expertise and Bushmaster has the mass production expertise, production facilities, access to distributors, and dealer network.

I don't know. Bushmaster can make an ok AR as they've been doing it awhile, but when I think of them making the Masada I keep getting this sinking feeling their going to screw it up in some way.

Good for consumers...

More Masadas sold in more places.

"Good" for me I guess, an extra $1,400 in my pocket... just adds to the tax return and rebate I suppose.

I totally agree.. How did anyone think Magpul was going to produce these in mass qty's and distribute them.

Bushmaster is smart to latch on to this. And if the design is as good as everyone thinks it is.. Bushmaster will do fine, It's not that they can't maintain a standard... they just choose not to.... big difference. and it's not like every single Bushmaster ever made has fallen apart after a few hundred rds...

They have managed to make quite a few of them that have been pretty reliable over the years.

Plus with the mass production abilities, the price will actually be within reach of us regular earth people.

Should be interesting to see how this pans out, but anyway you slice it.. having another 5.56MM Semi auto rifle being made in the U.S. is a good thing.
