    Don't get too worked up about what people are saying about the Bushmaster. Yeah, it's not the greatest...but that is definitely not the point here. Buy her a ring.

    Congratulations on the new rifle. I have no personal experience with Bushmaster rifles so I can't comment directly, but they generally aren't held in high regard here due to quality issues. Regardless, it's a gift; keep it and enjoy it.

    Read and soak up all the information you can on this site. I started by looking through the stickies located at the top of this forum, and the stickies in AR Technical. Inspect it and ensure it functions properly, using those stickied topics as a guideline. Shoot your rifle, learn its ins and outs, and marry that girl.

    Oh, I think I'm gonna go ahead and marry her!!!
    Just to reiterate some points. Bushmaster is not the greatest brand but DO KEEP IT and marry the woman!
    Read the thread espnazi linked and do as advised, then go out and enjoy it. Since youve signed up here, read all the other stickies and learn. Welcome!

    I bet she didnt realize (and yourself either) that your wallet will be forever flat due to the AR addiction headed your way. Buy her a Colt 6920 and a diamond that wont fit in the barrel!

    Now that's the type of girl I would put out for!

    After you use the heck out of it, I suppose you can upgrade every part except for the lower and it'll still technically be the same rifle she gave you!

    Who cares what kind it is. Both are keepers. Run it till it breaks, fix it, run it, then fix it.

    Girl is a keeper for sure. As for the ring thing, I happen to know an excellent place

    Keep and love both the rifle and girl!

    Nothing wrong with bushmaster as a first black rifle.
