Buying me a shootin'iron.
I'm thinking of buying a Bushmaster 16M4 ML MOE. Anyone here ever had one, and what can you tell me about it?

Bushmaster hasn't impressed me much. There are better brands out there for a reaonable cost. Walmart was even selling Colt 6920s for just under $1100

Check with Maclean....he has chapter and verse about most of the Colt clones. He says Colt is the ONLY true milspec weapon out there.

I would like my country back. I used to believe that one man could never destroy this country. Not so sure anymore!

about 4-5 years ago I had a Bushmaster M4 but it rattled like a goddamned snake. Sold it and bought a Rock River (save me your eye rolls, Mac...that gun has served its purpose well
)

I owned a Bushmaster for a few months. I now own a Colt 6920 and a Knight's SR-15. Just say NO to the Bushy!
Here's some info to help you with your decision:

I had a Bushmaster Carbon 15 once, didn't like it much, ended up trading for a Smith and Wesson M&P 15A and never regretted it. I carry a Colt for work, I would say they seem comparable.

I decided to get away from the AR platform, and bought a Sig-Sauer Patrol rifle in .556. I can't wait to run some rounds through it!
