[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2270420, member: 1132"] And I don't want to trash everyone's gear either. But, Bushy isn't known for the best barrels. That means steel quality AND specs. They're usually overgassed and may or may not have 5.56 chambers, along with several other issues. QC just isn't Bushy's strong suit. On the low end of AR's, I'd rather have a DPMS or Stag than a Bushy. The Plum Crazy lower is a very inexpensive lower. Something like that can be OK for a .22lr build, but it has some critical weak spots for a ready to go AR. I recommend staying away from polymer lowers altogether. If the upper is in spec, well, an upper is an upper, so long as it's forged 7075-T6 or billet, it's probably OK. Check just above the forward assist and tell us what symbol it has on it. There are several different types. Center Point scopes are low end as well. In optics, you get what you pay for. Hopefully he got a REALLY good deal on this mutt AR. :( [/QUOTE]
