Well if you don't like it then you don't have to sign up.
Myself and most of the people on here I would say have enough AR's, and don't need aunthor one around just to shoot. If we are getting something we want it to be a truely special one of a kind piece like no other. Personally I like the Bushy 20th aniversary models. If you want to go blow rounds then get a DPMS, probably be cheaper than the group configured one in the first place. Jack |

The plated parts don't make a bit of difference to me. Creating a unique AR at a very low price is the goal. If it's a shooter you want at a very low price, then the plated parts can be removed & replaced very easily. For now Bushmaster says they won't add to the price which I should have in a few days.

Hey folks........its like G&B said.
"The goal is to create a unique rifle at a reasonable price." Most probably would not like the plating (its not exactly MCOT either) but, I am more than willing to accept some "frills" in order to get a BM AR15.com weapon. Price folks.........price. If you want to mod it back to spec then go for it afterwards. Will cost you little of nothing and you can still assist the rest by keeping the numbers of rifles ordered high enough to get the price we all are looking for. Lay off....okay? |

To swap these frilly little nickle plated parts out...basically I have to buy a lower parts kit and a few upper ones too...add another $40-70 to the cost of this "special" Bushmaster AR15.COM edition...all along I thought the idea was to get a special rifle...an AR15.COM rifle at a great cost...What I really want is a shooter...something I can take to the range and shoot for years to come and pass on...now it seems like this is going to crap...hey and whats the "lay-off" crap...pardon me for being so D*mned opinionated...but frilly little rifles hit me at gut level...

IAJack,
I beg your pardon. I want a rifle to shoot, not to fondle. The nickle plating is a silly-ass frill. If the goal was to purchase a "frameable" then it should have been made known to the group upfront. |

DocK: We tried to read all your minds before the idea came up & then approached the mfgrs.
The purpose was stated right up front, maybe with 8 posts you missed it. Pool purchasing power to get low price, unique to AR15.com, low price, good quality, low price, rifle that will hold value, low price. Did I forget low price? Some fondle, some shoot, some frame etc Some like plating some don't. The majority is what we will go with. |

The few parts that are to be plated is acceptable..It would look nice and not tacky.. Like you said.. If someone dosent like the nickel plate parts, they can remove them.. It's not like they are plating the whole body... I have many plain black shooters.. I want something special... Thanks... |

XM15 E2S M4 Type 16in Carbine
Part No: PCWA2X 14M4MY Our Price: Call your FFL Dealer for Price Shipping $12.00 Click here to view large image A new model from Bushmaster, this XM15 E2S M4 Type Post-Ban Carbine features a lightweight 14.5" Barrel machined in the distinctive M4 profile with a permanently attached Mini Y Comp muzzle brake. This configuration yields a total barrel length of 16" to comply with Post-Ban regulations. A BATF approved fixed tele-style buttstock is added to complete the military look of this new carbine. The 14.5" barrel is chrome lined in both bore and chamber for maximum longevity and ease of maintenance. The barrel's button rifling, in a 1 x 9" right hand twist, will stabilize a wide range of currently available ammunition with bullet weights up to 69 grains. The M16A2 dual aperture, rear sight system offers both windage and elevation adjustments - elevation is calibrated from 300 to 800 meters. The two different apertures give either a short range, quick target acquisition sight picture or a smaller “peep” aperture for long distance accuracy. The tele-stock style buttstock is pinned and fixed in an “open” position and has been BATF approved for use on Post-Ban manufactured carbines. As with all other Bushmasters, the forged 7075T6 aircraft quality aluminum receivers are finished in a non-reflective mil. spec. hard anodize for durability, and include all M16A2 design improvements such as cartridge case deflector, last round bolt hold-open and raised ridges for magazine release button protection. A mil. spec. manganese phosphate coating insures complete protection against corrosion or rust on barrel and other exposed steel parts of the weapon. The M4-16 Carbine is shipped in a lockable, hard plastic case - complete with 10 round magazine, carrying sling, and Operator's Safety and Instruction Manual. |

sugestion. Humm, not bad. Any how, I say just let G&B get the $$$ and tell us what config it was that they quoted. It'll be this time next year if keep on saying "add this, add that. This would be cool" before we even start to order!!!! |

Yes that is what we wanted when this group purchase was started. If you go back and read the very first post all this was mentioned. This is a chance for us all to get a one of a kind AR15 that would become a collecters item the minute we received it. They will still shoot just like the others and if you want to shoot it what is the problem with a little nickel plating on them

Stainless would be alright, but leave the nickle plate B.S. to pimps and prostitutes. An AR is meant to be shot, not just looked at! Just make mine a plain ol' M4, preferably in A3 configuration. If I want it shiny, I can buy a can of Krylon Kentucky Krome for 99 cents.

Gecko45: "I wouldn't buy a nickle trimmed AR..."
You have the option of saving a few hundred with the group purchase or paying a lot more for black parts on your own to match your ego. No matter what the final config there will be people that will not like it & demand it be changed or their style added. If there are enough of them perhaps another smaller group purchase may be in order....for those who stay CIVIL. ELEFTARIA: Your son is lucky, to have a father who will buy him this AR AND lives where he can have it. Maybe you should buy a second for the time(s) you escape! |

If we use a lazer engraving we will have to have the artwork to supply to the mfgr. Ed doesn't have an "official" Ar15.com logo so any help you can give would be appreciated. I like it too, especially on a Bushmaster. Now for the flood of "I want" "How about" Let's have some more ideas. |

This sounds really cool. With our purchasing power, we ought to be able to get a great price. Who cares about the nickel? I think a unique weapon is the way to go . . . of course, I'm just a junior member. Just KEEP THE PRICE DOWN AND WE WILL BUY IT!!!

Remnant:
We all have a right to our opinions of course. Not trying to offend you or others who may dislike the shiney parts. My logic is this: I like the idea of an unheard of low price for an A3 M4 from Bushmaster......I like the rarity of an AR15.com special edition. Did I mention price? To me its kinda like some car dealer telling me that his 2001 Vettes that normally run $35 grand are on sale for $25 grand but the only colors available are pink, chartreuse and lime green. I mean really.............I could drive a pink Vette for such a deal. I just hate to see a little dissagreement destroy such a good deal and a rare opportunity. |

As stated when I said yes to this deal, ANY config is fine for the price that is being kicked around, I have other AR's and the idea of one with the nickle is intriguing!! I still can't seem to visualize what it would look like from the only pics. I have seen from the pic above, I'm checking the mail every day waiting for the actual catalog I ordered from BM hoping there is a pic that is somewhat representative of what we're referring to. I'm curious how long it would be before a few of these started showing up in the equip exchange, and what they would be worth then!!!

MOLONE LABE!
That's the perfect logo! Use it! It has much better symbolism that a snake on each side. The second snake will look like a cheaper copy(not saying it's badly drawn), but a different snake, drawn in 2 different styles will look silly. I would love a gun that has a stamp/engraving saying "come and take them". Big vote for Molon Labe 2001!!! please! |

A picture of Rosie with "AR-15.com Special Edition" engraved on the magwell. It would be like kicking her in her fat a$$ AND and spitting in her cowlike face all in one fell swoop.

antiUSSA,
I like the last logo, kind of "understated" elegance. FWIW, I don't mind small parts being nickel plated, but I think the upper and lower should be basic black. I don't want a pimp's gun, just a limited edition one. :) On another topic, did anyone say how all the potential purchasers would be notified of the final configuration, price, and payment arrangements? I'm trying to make sure the order doesn't go without me. :) |

Consider having 'MOLONE LABE' below ar15.com to complete the other half of a circle look in the logo posted by anti.
'2001 Limited Edition' is the top half of circle. AR15.com in the middle. 'Molone Labe' is the bottom half of the circle |

How about the logo above, except with "home of the AR15 rifle" -as in the page logo completing the circle, with the numbers inside? I'm not at my graphics station or I would do it
I think a mag well logo or stencil would be really kewl, be the best pimped out AR's around!! |
