Bushmaster AR

I would've tried metal, but I really don''t have the capability to mill metal out in my shop. Fiber is a different story. And it does have a lifetime warranty.

The ease of putting it together was a bonus on not having a background check.

AT, what's the website again for the lowers? They have metal now?

Don't think they had metal, but it was eplowers.com.

[assateague]

Yeah, the "ep" I think is for "extruded plastic".

Eighty percent

Well, that's no fun, is it. Although I'm wishing now that I would have waited, and got a desert tan one instead of another black one. But at the time, all they had was pink and black. I still need to email them and see if it can be painted.

Screw it! Rattle can the whole thing. With no serial number it'll look stolen anyways.

Honestly, that still makes me a little uneasy when I think about taking it out hunting

avoid the carbon fiber ARs, they don't last long. our prices are finally getting back to normal, thinking of getting the one i was gonna buy last spring.

[assateague]

wait- are you guys saying they make plastic UPPERS also? This whole time I thought you'd been talking about lowers. I think. I was very tired there for a couple days, with the drive and new puppy.

yes, and carbon fiber, avoid both for the uppers.

[assateague]

Oh. That just seems silly.

[sws002]

Oh. That just seems silly.

Yup, the Bushmaster Carbon 15 is plastic from the ground up. I've actually never taken the time to look inside one, but I've seen other plastic lowers that were ALL plastic. Trigger, hammer, the works...

fuck man, even the barrel is CF. guy tried to sell me one and i told him if he was that confident in the 10,000 round gaurantee to call his gf to blow me in the store, she didn't fucking show up to say the least. fuck the carbon fiber bullshit, a damn good rifle is still wood and steel.

Ya, so, that's not even remotely true... http://www.bushmaster.com/firearms/carbon_15.asp

Sportsman's warehouse guys have the best BS to sling, but to be honest i did think it was CF, it looked and felt like CF anyway. At this point, I'm pretty committed to buying Bravo Company or Colt based on independent research of BCGs and barrel shot peen testing. They do legitimately have some CF barreled rifles that i will not recommend to anyone, not even noobs to the rifle game. at the very least, i recommend a RRA rifle or a Stag. Both are fairly good quality, and won't shit the bed like the stuff that Sportsman's endorses, i'd be embarrassed to be associated with their "gun guys".

Haha

who wouldn't?

My military M16 had a very basic BCG made by the lowest bidder. I can't even begin to count how many hundreds of thousands of rounds it had had through it. I think most people over-buy by about a factor of 5, but that's just my opinion, and more power to anyone to do whatever they want.

carbines with a 4.2 ounce (H2) buffer can shoot 2,000 rounds just fine, if you haven't stripped it by then you're a fucktard and deserve it.

What's that got to do with having a nickel-plated bolt carrier or some shit?

This reminds me of a shotgun thread.

Fact is, I don't care what anyone shoots.
What is right for me is a traditional AR platform in .223 I have done my research and that is my conclusion.

For the record my Bushmaster and Colt AR's didn't shoot or feed as good as the DPMS uppers I have owned. My current slick side carbine is by far my favorite. But it should be, I built it for ME.
