    But but but it's mil spec just like Colt bla bla bla. Just when you think you have seen everything. I have never seen anything like that even from our beat to shit issued weapons in basic.

    Ehh, most people don't use them heavily enough to break parts that would normally hold up on a quality ARs and, even if they do, they assume that the problems associated with low end ARs are just endemic to all ARs. Unfortunately, this is what gives the AR it's reputation for being fragile and unreliable: Low end manufacturing. For every person who buys a Colt there are ten people who decide to save $50 and buy a Bushmaster or Stag. The funny thing is, they'll insist that you're just paying for the name when you buy a Colt or BCM while admitting that their Bushmaster jams and breaks all the time. They'll chalk it up to the AR being a fun range toy but a POS service rifle and talk about how it's a tragedy that the stupid politicians insist on always going with the lowest bidder when they should go back to the M14 or go with the AK.

    All in all, I can understand not wanting to spend a lot of money on something that is only going to see 100-200 rounds a year and not caring about milspec or what not. If you're really into it, or need a rifle you can depend on, that's when you need to take quality into account.

    So this thing comes with a sawed off FSB and hand guards. No option for backup sights?

    Why would you need back up sights when you could have an NC Star red dot?

    LMAO! That's like the old Yugo joke: How do you double the value of a Yugo? Fill up the gas tank...

    Lol. The money that should've gone into better R&D, parts and assembly went into the packaging instead.

    TS, I was wondering when you'd have that posted here. I am curious how your supplier and Bushy try to pass the blame on this one.

    Krull, I know the OP personally. That is a new POS Bushy as they don't sell used weapons. The stupid thing is the siblings of this Bushmaster sit right next to perfectly good Colts and Sig M400s on the rack and the Bushy sells first. You really can't fix stupid.
    Reads a lot, posts little.
