    Am I alone in finding it unusual that we buy second-rate AR-15s for our allies but spring for the good stuff when we're buying them AKs?

    I've seen 30 Bushmaster's in country. They were given to my unit from our JTF HQ to outfit the ANA we were training. Our armorer checked them out. No, they did not have properly staked gas keys and he had to do all of them himself.

    Sure, they had a contract, but as mentioned earlier, so do Ruger and plenty of other oddball companies.

    It occurs to me that the issue has been sufficiently beat to death, and it has been successfully shown that no Shrubmaster weapons were ever issued to any US troops....


    Now I think it is time for this "dead horse beating" thread to get locked....

    Which is more durable...a M9 or a Glock 17
    Subjective or truth?

    Was BM purchased for the US military? No. Did the US Government buy some BMs on contract for somebody, yes. That is in no way comparable to buying them for US forces.

    Are you guys ****ing dense or something. The govt bought them, then supplied them to third shit hole countries. If you love your BM so much go fondle them and make yourselves feel justified. BTW, there is an older thread somewhere here that has a shit truck load of pics of the Russians destroying very large piles of BMs they captured from the Georgians.

    BM is what it is, period. They are not first rate firearms, no matter how well you love them. Check out the knowledge threads. This is not to say they will blow up in your face, or that people cannot be served by them. They are more failure and breakage prone than the better made carbines. This not my opinion, it has been well proven by many well recognized trainers.

    I think this has been explained, if you fail to get it that's on you. I think you would fit in better on TOS. I see this thread getting locked very soon.
