    I'm still trying to figure out how an AR can put brass into your face. I'm left handed, and have never had that happen with the multitude of AR's I've shot. Never seen it happen either.....very weird.

    I would at minimum do what GrandPooba recommended, and then move to replace it with a quality piece. I did keep my BM after the upgrades, but did buy a BCM.

    If your happy with your rifle then shoot the hell out of it. Not everyone needs a Ferrari (Colt, LMT, BCM, etc..) If you wanna upgrade stuff then buy a bolt (70$) and a H buffer. There's no reason to change the barrel until you wear it out. Thats my opinion. If you wanna top tier rifle then build one (BCM, Spikes) next time your ready for another AR.

    There is not such thing as too many guns, knives, and the accessories to go with them.

    Unless you want to shoot heavier bullets, which stabilize best coming out of a 1/7 barrel. Also, Bushmasters frequently have .223 chambers (even though the barrels are marked 5.56 NATO), which results in unreliable extraction when using 5.56 NATO ammo.

    What and throw it away? that's why I said build one to what you are shooting. If he is only shooting 55g plinking ammo then the 1/9 will do fine. If you wanna replace the barrel on a brand new rifle please send it to me instead of throwing it in the trash.

    To channel a little Rob_S........ go shoot it and then see what it needs. It might just run well enough to suit your needs. Then you can read and learn here and get a better gun the next time around.


    All I did to mine was slap a BCM compete upper on my old Bushy and it does fine for what I require of it.
