    Has anyone ever figured out the cost difference of a non-spec vs spec rifle? It can't be too much if a Colt and Bushy are that close in price.
    ===========================================

    It's kind of hard to come up with a price but the best reference is the $100 that Stag Arms is charging for their Plus Package Upgrade.

    So, whether this is an accurate price assumption or not, I haven't seen a better "reference" for the cost difference of low-tier versus mil-spec grade any place else. Does anyone?

    So, adding $100 to upgrade a discounted Stag or a Bushmaster would put their price almost identical to a discounted Colt 6920 ... now the question is, which would you rather have?
    I know my answer... but I've never been a jaga person.

    But maybe it's just me...

    Note, also, that in that quote, Mr. Grebner is saying 4 years, and in the above, he's saying since 2004.

    Being bad with numbers just sorta happens with some folks. Peachy, no real drama.

    Making stuff up, however, is a decision not unlike the decision to have a child; the results are that you have to take care of it if you want it to continue to survive. If one can't even remember their own BS, they should either get better about keeping track of their previously-uttered BS for the sake of continuity....or just stop.

    Is "Windham" what the former, original owner of Bushmaster is calling the new company he's trying to start up in the original factory in Maine?

    Yep. Bushmaster 2.0 with a new name. They already got a website up and running. Windham is ready to start pumping out those HBAR carbines that everyone seems to want these days.
    Know your role, and shut your mouth.

    If true of very encouraging sign. I've never been a huge fan of colt myself due to their practices in the civilian market in the 90s.

    Personal matters aside the more people match the high quality specs the better Off we are as consumers.

    Also as they said in the 80s "trust but verify"

    It would be nice to see that. I will never buy another bm or any other manufacture for that matter. I would rather just build them with the parts that I want in it. With that said I have one bm that I have put about 6000 rounds with little to no problems (mag failure but that's not on the rifle) of course the only thing that's bm on my rifle is the barrel and receivers
    There is not such thing as too many guns, knives, and the accessories to go with them.

    1000 rounds in 4 years is nothing. Myself and many others shoot that in one month. Some even more in carbine course.

    You are extolling the virtues of "one BM" and we are talking about the thousands of them that have been in circulation. So please keep the sillyness out of this and stay with the facts.
    No I said they made some M-16s for the military during Desert storm apparently you where to young to now this back in the 90's and when I bought my bushy I did put 1,000 rnds through it. Now I have been in classes where we go through ammo like crazy . OH yes my spell check does not work

    Care to share a link to the contract? After all Government contracts are public record.
    Also it is generally poor form to throw around insults, especially at one of the more respected and experience members of this board.

    Agree, very much.
