Nice. I know nothing about them. Saw pics of it online and saw that most parts appeared to be SA. I take it I didn't take a bath on this one? |

I can't believe you found a sucker who wanted a bushmaster that bad but good on you for doing it.

Nice looking rifle. If you have regrets, I'm sure I can dig up a Bushmaster to trade you!!
Nice rifle, not a collector piece, but worth more than what you traded. You did good!  Go shoot it!! |

You can get AR15s all day long.

You did OK value-wise but I would have done it only to leverage my way into something I could flip for a little more than the Bushy. As far as owning either rifle for a shooter/HD weapon; the Bushy would have been a keeper. Sorry, no love for Garands. They're interesting antiques but that's it in my opinion.

Firing the M1 Garand simultaneously gives you a 5 O'clock shadow, and lowers your voice 2 octaves. Women swoon over the size and amount of your wood. Lesser men fear your ping.

There was a really nice poem about the M1 that was written. For the life of me, I cannot find it.
But it talks about the M1 being used to stop oppression, while the AK has been using for bank heists and mass executions of civilians, ect ect. Someone know what I am talking about? |

I would have done that if I had more than one AR to trade.
I only have one AR though so no, even though I would probably second guess myself about it later. Patrick |

I don't get the Garand obsession. If it can't hold 1MOA, it belongs in the trashcan along with the ak junk.

13-ers - Not that I'm much better.
No plans to sell this. Ever. I fell in love with it the moment I saw the ad and knew as soon as I saw it I absolutely had to have it 
I don't have ANYTHING in .30 cal - I'm really excited to shoot it for the first time. |

In my hands, an average garand shoots a 30% smaller group than an average AR on the same day, both with milspec ammo. Plus, I don't have to shoot shit 2 or 3 times with a Garand to fuck something up like I do with an AR. |

Garands are a functioning, (relatively) modern weapon. Values on Garands will only go up. I doubt that will happen with the Bushy. That was a damn good trade. |

Was the Bushmaster purple?
Was the front site canted off-center? If it was then you had a "real" Bushmaster. Hopefully you don't have a "new" Springfield Armory Garand.
