Cool. I remember hearing that a few years ago, but never followed up.
THAT is exactly what Bushmaster should have done in the early 90s. They had a potentially awesome little gun, and it just needed a little tweaking to be great - but in its original stock configuration was crap. And what did the idiots do? Just put it on sale and never bothered to support it - instead of just making a few easy tweaks to make it work. Since it wasn't covered by the AWB restrictions (not having a stock or bayonet lug), they could probably have sold tons of them, had they marketed it well.
