    Very uncommon though.

    I believe that this was an individual officer's carbine that skinstop911 was checking out from an armorer's standpoint to get it approved for duty use.

    Correct.

    Ironically, the owner of this carbine was getting ready to write a check for a LE6920, but came upon this one from a local vendor. His resistance was weak. I didn't have to tell him "I told you so", the gun did the talking.

    My department bought 10 11.5" barreled Bushmaster's recently. Out of the three I've personally examined, one had M4 feed ramps, one had partially cut ramps and the other was a standard A2 spec upper. Two out of three had decents staking jobs and a black extractor insert and O-ring and one was staked and just had a blue insert like the one pictured . None of the three had a hammer like the one pictured.

    Regarding the hammer, is the general consensus that it does appear to be a casting?

    I was under the impression that most, if not all, AR15/M16 hammers/triggers are cast. I know Sabre Defense has plans to produce MIM fire control groups because they feel MIM is superior to the usual cast units used in these rifles.
