Bought an AR

[willyjixx]

Bushmaster XM 15 A2.


let the opinions roll!

Congrats. I have the same in the shorty model. Outstanding AR! You won't ever look back.

You must name her of course. Mine is named "Charlene."

 

[Mulliga]

Argh...lemme save up about 500 bucks and I'll get back to ya...

Well there's one in every crowd I guess.

I bought a BM XM15E2S 5 weeks ago. Failed out of the box with a bad ejector pin. Got it back from BM and find out the sights have to be almost all the way to the right to get a zero.

Based on info gotten from here I took it to the gunsmith I use to have the barrel reindexed (waiting another three weeks to get it back from BM - uhn uh).

I suppose that lemons get out occasionaly but BM has lost at least one customer forever. The next AR I buy won't be from them I guaranteeeee!

 

[willyjixx]

sucks to hear werewolf. dont take this the wrong way but i sure hope you got a lemon

 

[FPrice]

I have two Bushmasters and both are great rifles. I am planning on using the one with a SS barrel for hi-power this year.

 

[4v50 Gary]

I have never bought a BM rifle before and probably never will.

I have bought several lowers and assembled them myself though. That's half the fun.

 

[Engineer]

I have three of them myself and haven't had a problem at all. Congrats on the new rifle - now go stock up on mags!

 

[Mulliga]

Werewolf's story is a sad one. I hope it's an isolated incident, because I plan on getting a Superlight upper on Sept. 14th.

 

[Sunray]

Good for you. Hope you have a great deal if fun with it. You gonna tell us you got it for cheap? I suppose naming a rifle is about as daft as naming your truck. I don't name my rifles(although if I had just one, I might. Can't imagine having just one. Be like being married), but the truck is known as 'The Tomato". It's an all red, including the cap, '98 F150. Nice. Way different from the 'Blue Max' that I drove for 15 years. It, not 'she', was a long box '87 Samurai. I miss the 4 wheel drive in the winter. Big time. PU's are great in the summer, but nearly hopeless in winter. 16 grand Cdn doesn't buy 4X4.

Both mine are excellent.

I'm getting an evilized upper this summer to avoid the rush.

I'll be real happy when the AWB goes down.

Welcome to the "Dark Side." BM generally makes a quality product. I've had excellent reliabilaty with their products.

 

[Texas Gunman]

Congrats on your new Bushy, I'd like to mention that my Bushy has ran perfectly since day one.

Look forward to a range report.
