This is a joke right? I apologize, but sarcasm is hard to get through text on a forum.

How to Internet ?

Can you rephrase that question so that we can provide some help, or at least pictures and a description with things like a model number?

The model as stamped on the serialized upper is bushmaster assault rifle. It looks similar to a ar180.

I do know that it was originally produced as gwinn assault rifle before bushmaster came into existence.

Is this the late odd AR-18 based Gwinn thing that looks like a steampunk Galil made from a railroad girder? If so, I'm at a complete loss for accessories, since those are rare birds, and never really caught on. That's a 40 year old rifle, so accessorizing it likely pointless - parts are the major issue, especially if you plan to shoot it.

[Edit] Ah, it is, that looks like a Gwinn Folder (Para) model. That's a 40 year old weapon, and parts are going to be scarce.

My oh my, that thing sure is...interesting looking.

Mine isn't a folder. I hope I can locate a folding lower for it though.

I was going to say how fugly that particular piece is, then I remembered the thread I just started so i will kindly shut up.

Am interested to hear more about this particular piece of firearms history though. And to the OP, considering what it is (Which is to say rare and strange), you may be better off keeping it for a rainy day/selling it to a collector opposed to worrying about accessories depending on what you paid for it and what they are going for.
