With so many ar-15 rifles out there,I am leaning towards the bushmaster. Only which one 16inch or 20. and does it make any reason to install a muzzle brake or do you really need one? Any ideas ? singleside:usa: :usa: :rapid:

I ended up putting my own together. BM target upper, stock, etc. on a DPMS lower.
No complaints so far.

I have been looking at ar-15s for a while learning what I can. Got a really good deal on a bushmaster ar-15 16 inch barrel with an ak-74 muzzle brake simular to the one I use on my mini 14. Will try it out some time next week.Had a m-16 in 1972 made by colt worked good only problem was with a few bad mags.Keep your weapon clean, you my have to depend on it one day. Its all about freedom.:usa: :ar15:

Put your own together, It's much cheaper & not all that hard. Mostly just an assembly. An hour max. ar15.com has step by step instructions.
Good luck!:)
Put a model 1 sales 24" flat top kit on a stripped DPMS lower topped it off with a sightron 3.5x10x50 and it has been a very nice shooter.

I bought a Bushmaster a few years ago and it was great from day 1.
Singleside, how's the Bushy work? I'm wondering because I have a line on a 16"er for a good price. I've never dealt with Bushmaster much and have heard and seen some extraction problems with their 16" setup. One fix for this I've seen was an item called a "D-Fender". It's a beveled piece of rubber that fits over the extractor spring.

I have not taken possession of bushmaster yet. some excuse about beening held up in the shop for the muzzle brake ak-74. I might get it soon I hope. Now using the mini 30 seems like the gun smithing I designed works as the one I would count on when the targets present them selfs. Its all about freedom from tyranny.

Well,the bushmaster arrived today put a box of ammo through it very nice rifle. The 16 inch barrel with the ak-74 muzzle brake is just what I wanted and glad I did some research. This model is an a3. since you can remove the front sight and add a low profile scope. I think the best thing would be to explore different systems. :usa: :ar15:
Glad to hear it's a good shootin' weapon. The one I was looking at is no longer available......the seller backed out.

I used to buy firearms that were pre-owned, but I now buy new in the box even if it cost a little bit more it is worth it to me. This bushmaster was well worth the price. That is not to say I would not buy a .22 or any other firearm used but when it comes to something like a mini 14 or ar -15 why not get nib.:usa: :ar15: singleside out
