    Maybe Bushmaster is listening

    So i visited my local Sportsmans earlier today and i asked what's new and the counter guys said they just received some of the Ilion NY Bushmasters (ARA sn# prefix) and i opened the couple up and to my amazement the gas key was properly staked and they had the black extractor inserts installed. Maybe after years they are finally listening to the shooting masses and are trying to improve their product.

    They are going to need to do ALOT more than that. If someone gets their hands on one or has any information about their updated specs, please post it.

    As a side note, I am stil waiting for a response from Windham Weaponry.............

    What are you talking about?! Bushmaster has always been listening to the shooting masses ... just the misinformed masses. But seriously, that would be cool if they produced a top-notch product. Was the bolt MPI'd/HPT'd?

    An extractor spring or gas key staking does not a milspec rifle make.

    Barrel steel, 5.56 chamber, HP/MPI testing, twist rate, FA Bolt carriers are all equally important.
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    My M-4 Bushy has keep'd up with all other big name brand M-4s and ARs in class no ftf no fte and it eats what ever I feed it and I bought it in 2004 after the sunset .All I did was stacked the gas key's and added a BCM extr. O-ring kit and I do not know how many rounds I have in it now and I will stacke my life on it when I need it

    If Bushmaster is making good on a poor product, then good for them. A day late and a dollar short, the informed consumer will decide.

    Considering the fact that a new Colt 6920 costs within $100 of what a similar Bushy goes for they'd better be making a LOT more changes/upgrades than that.
