Hi all.
Here's the background:
I'm new to the Black-Rifle culture (but not to firearms in general), and I am in the final stages of putting together my first Black Rifle.
I recently bought a complete upper assembly from somebody who bought a complete bushmaster and was changing his upper.
Anyway, I know there are supressors, flash hiders, compensators, and muzzle brakes (and maybe even more; or maybe I'm using multiple names for the same thing)... I will certainly be able to tell the difference once I've had a bit more time looking around and lurking (here and other places) but until then... i am wondering what it is that I have.
I asked the previous owner and the responce I got was ""I dunno exactly, It's what ever bushmaster sells on their rifles"" (not something that instills a lot of confidence in the Previous Owner... but he does seem compitent enough to know what "unfired Bushmaster" means and being a mechanical designer by trade, I am confident that what I bought was what was advertised)... but I digress...
Here's my question:
Does the PO's statement make since to somebody who is familiar with Bushmaster products? If so, what type of equipment is on my barel? If a general discription would help, it is solid on the bottom and has 4 (IIRC) thin-oval, longitudinal cuts along the top half.
Obviously an answer to my direct question would be great, but if anybody has a link to a primer (of better yet a comparison amongst the options) that would be appriciated as well.
thanks.
