.223 Chambered Oly Arms

[Robb Jensen]

Robb, I don't know. The only other AR I have is my 5.45mm. I would be happy to let someone else run it for a while, 5.56 ammo being so cheap and all

Bring it by, I'll run it in any of my ARs and see what happens. Actually I'll be at the NRA Range tonight about 8pm.

Yeah it's hard to hide my shortbus, but I have a front seat for you (for the broke-ass arm) near the hydraulic lift

It's good to have friends that care

Iraq,
Have you considered popping the roll pin out of one of the buffer on the problem bushies to see id it does in fact have one tungsten and too steal weights?

Scott,

There is no mystery here as to your fake H buffers. Looks like somebody bought them then took the tungsten weights out and replaced them with steal. They sold em to you and built a bunch of H3 buffers and made money.

I am probably the least experienced AR guy here but I have to share my experience with my sample of 1 bushmaster. Being a tightwad it took me a while to get onto the AR bandwagon. They simply did not fit into my budget.
After Katrina I was working security 12 hours a day 7 days a week. I got some great overtime checks and had TONS of time to read lieing gun magazines. I finnally had a day off after 4 months straight and went to the gunshop to get ammo before some range time. Thay had a colt target model used for 1k. I strarted to drool. After the range I went back and they were putting bushmasters out on the rack. There was a new 20inch HBAR ( I thought HBAR was a good thing at the time) for under $800. I could'nt help myself I left with it. I promply bought a decent IOR 6x scope and played with it till my next range session 3 moths later. Man I was pissed at first. Short stroke after shortstroke but after 500 or so rounds it stopped. The trigger was the WORST trigger on any weapon I have ever owned and that includes a cz52. But the cool part was the accuaracy. Understand my mini-14's were starting to convince me I just could'nt shoot anymore. Using fed xm193 the crappy bushmaster HBAR put 30 rounds into an inch at 100. I friend who is a much better shooter than I has made it put 5 handloads into just over a half inch. Ofcourse I took this upper with scope to my first 3 gun match and was humiliated by not being able to hit the A zone at 10 feet. I nailed the 100 yard target from under the car though first try. I later used an ATN holsight to MUCH greater success but still generally sucked as far as weapon handling. I now have about 2k rounds through that upper. It still shoots like a laser and is slow to get hot. It has not failed once since the first 500 rounds. I think a low power wide fov scope and a bipod with a beta C mag combo on this rifle could be a poor mans support weapon to good effect. I will never try to run a 3 gun match with it again though.

zydeco,

That weapon belonged to someone else and I only looked at as I was doing the other stuff. I try not to get wrapped up in stuff like what kind of weights may or may not be present.
