[QUOTE="dieseltech09, post: 2667061, member: 9783"] I recently picked up a minty Bushmaster A2 HABR rifle from a member here that didnt have many details on the rifle. I have emailed Bushmaster and they said they cant help me since it was built at their old facility and they had to turn all the records over to the ATF when they relocated. All they can say for sure is that it was built before 2001. The rifle is a model number XM15-E2S. The SN is L080XXX. The receiver is stamped "B.F.I. Windham ME. USA." The barrel is stamped "C MP 5.56 NATO 1/7 HBAR" It is a fixed carry handle A2, the forward assist is foot shaped. The barrel has an A2 style flash hider. The finish is in good shape but it looks like there wasn't a whole lot of prep time spent before the finish was applied. There is no bayonet lug. Is there any way to get a better idea of around when this rifle was built? Also as to the stamping on the barrel "C MP" I have found several places online that say that Busmaster at one time got barrels from Colt but there are also places online that say this never happened.Anyone have any ideas?
