[QUOTE="english kanigit, post: 1405437, member: 4701"] :puke: Some run, too many dont't. If you are stuck with it there are some things that can be done to make it run. If all the gun needs to do is sit in the closet and have photos taken of it for posting on the 'net it isn't a bad choice. If you actually want or need to shoot it you would be much better off going elsewhere. I started out with a bushy and had issues. Here's what I did before taking it to class. Replace entire BCG. Replace action spring. Replace the stock trigger. ( the engagement surface was too soft and the damn thing would fire doubles :saywhat: ) Reamed the chamber from .223 Rem to 5.56 NATO (the barrel was marked as 5.56 NATO... it wasn't true.) After all this I didn't have any functional issues but there were still gremlins. During a 3 day carbine class in the middle of the afternoon of the second day when we were shooting for score my zero disappeared. Rounds that had been dead center not five minutes before were now consistently landing 9 inches high and left at 50 yards. You could buy a bushmaster, you might even get a functional one. I hear that they are out there. Is it really worth it to do so when there are so many better options out there? Ek [/QUOTE]
