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![]()

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....

Never send a nail to do a screw's job.
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....
