Hello all,
I've found this site helpful in the past and after doing much research on my new purchase I'd like your input. I just purchased what was told to me by Bushmaster Customer Service to be a special production run of Bushmaster AR-15. It is equipped with these items:
* .223Rem/5.56mm
* A2 Butt Stock
* Flat Top A3 Receiver
* Optics Ready Mounts
* Mid Length Gas System
* 18" Fluted Barrel 1/9 (Rem)
* Free Float Forearm
What concerned me was the 18 inch barrel and free float forearm. Ive never seen a Bushmaster with the free float forearm with less than a 24" barrel. The Gas system is actually hidden inside the forearm tube unlike the 24" Varminter Models. I have not fired it yet because I'm waiting on my Weaver 4-20X50 Tactical Mil-Dot to come in
Can anyone tell me if they have experience with this particular gun, good ammunition for it, what you got it for, and any input you have on how it should perform...The 18" barrel is not very common from Bushmaster. Any Input would be great! I payed $875 at a local gunshop just over the boarder in NH. Hope it was not to much!
