It's a notoriously bad gun, even for a Bushmaster.

I have a relatively higher opinion of Bushmasters, but I wouldn't buy one that wasn't manufactured in Windham, Maine and I would especially stay away from the carbon lowers.

If you want to go with the standard in ARs, I would also recommend Colt.

i decided to go with S&W M&P sport AR-15.. it had good reviews and shoots both the .223 and the 5.56 nato... just waiting for cabelas to have them back in stock.. almost every gun store i called was out of stok of AR'S and the ones they had left were over $2000. so i hope cabelas gets some in before this ban happens...

Good luck! With the recent events, ARs and ammo is now impossible to find. And prices will just continue to rise. This is why I just ordered my RRA. 90-120 wait but at least I know I have one ordered for me.
