They were both in the .223 caliber.
Mine will always be in .223

Interesting you say this. Just talked to a marketing guy from an insurance company who also shoots competitively and his thoughts were similar to yours. He also said he can build a higher end one for me for a few $$$ more.

Good price, crappy gun. Keep in mind that is a Carbon (Plastic) Upper/Lower, keep the plastic in the stocks, it doesn't belong in the action of a gun. If you are looking for a reasonably priced AR, look at the DPMS Oracle, should be able to find one for under $700 pretty easily now. The thing is, I don't care if it is Bushmaster, DPMS, Colt, Hi-Point, Red Ryder, etc., there is little to no difference in almost any AR under $1000. You'll see a few that break the mold, and you'll get different features with most guns, but at the heart of it, they are all almost identical in specs. The great thing about AR's, is if you don't like something, you can change it VERY easily, with one glaring exception, and that is the lower receiver (which is why you don't buy a plastic one), which will require a 4473 every time you want to change it.
Now before you say: "But Glocks are made of melted down snow shovels (plastic), and everyone likes them", keep in mind that the Glocks still have metal contact points recessed into the polymer and the plastic on a Glock is not an integral part of the action itself, just merely a handle.

If you aren't in a big hurry, wait it out a bit and you will likely be able to buy one that has never been shot for pennies on the dollar. You may not be able to break Assa's $500 mark (unless you build your own), but you may be able to grab a little bit nicer gun for a lot less coin.

This. Although almost all BCG's are farmed out as well, and for the most part, all the lower end BCG's (in guns under $1000) are of similar quality. Barrels do have quite a bit to do with it, and are probably the most difficult part of the gun to replace. That is the one thing I don't care for on the Oracle, is the pencil thin barrel, but if you don't plan on blowing through 30 rounds as fast as you pull the trigger (not that I'm saying you shouldn't do it at least once) while maintaining any degree of accuracy, they shoot just fine.
