    We got plenty of training...I was just saying I wanted more

    I later transferred to a BAE facility in Kingsport, TN (closer to home)

    It was DOE...I mostly kept inventory at both places. I wasn't there long enough to get into anything really interesting. It was an 80 mile drive to get there.

    The BAE plant makes AmRam, Stinger, H.A.R.M., Sidewinders...things like that.

    Since I been driving a truck...I have been to every nuclear power plant in this country (I think) I always get loads of those dirty catalysts going to Mount Holly, NC to get cleaned and rebuilt...and I have yet to see any seriously armed guards at any of them...maybe they are there...but I haven't seen them.

    Why doesn't Bushmaster make ALL their AR's to the TX DPS standard?

    Gotta wonder why not

    I think one simple, and obvious explanation would be: it would raise the price of their rifles, and make them less attractive to buyers.

    If a Colt was 1200 and a BM was 1100, I know what I would buy.

    I know what I would buy anyway, I'm just sayin'

    The OP paid $898 and I think BM would make plenty of $$ selling the TX DPS models as their entry level rifle for $750-$800 at least then they would be putting out an improved product line. And Maybe shoot the rifle before it ships to verify the damn thing can be zeroed without a trip back to the factory.

    O, YOU had a canted FSB too eh?

    For 898 I see no reason not to spend the additional cash to get a LMT. But that's just me.

    3 of the 6 we bought could not hit paper at 50 yards due to the FSB they had to go back to the factory

    Good question. My thought is that they cost more to make and is not as profitable.
