Well, I'm a Bushmaster fan so I'm biased. [;)]
Get which ever one you like best, but IMO I'd get Bushmaster. Not that DPMS is bad either. I just like Bushmaster's barrels and the slick coating they put on the inside of the uppers. I'm surprised that the DPMS is the same price, they are usually a little cheaper or did you mean they looked the same, not same price? Overall, get what you feel is best. It's your rifle! ~ s0ulzer0 |

Bushmaster or RRA,I keep hearing stories of DPMS bolts cracking at the cam pin hole of the bolt.

If a chromed barrel is of utmost importance to you, go with the Bushmaster. If not, and I really don't think it is an issue, go with the DPMS. DPMS puts out a very nice product. The bolts breaking at the cam pin hole is not a rampant issue. From what I have been able to find out. It was due to a bad batch that was hard chromed.

No contest between those two - Bushmaster hands down.

If you guys would just read this forum, Pat Rogers has already said Colt has far less failures than Bushmaster so that's what this guy should be getting. |

I've been dumping thousands of rounds thru my Bushmaster for the past 2 years with absolute ZERO "0" failures. My Colt was not the same story. ~ s0ulzer0 |

I think the Bushmaster M4 would be an excellent choice cuz they look so cool.
=) Make sure to ask these fellas about the break. I dunno if you can get the Bushy M4 with an AK break or not (there is a Bushy heavy barrel 14.5" with permanent AK break) but I often see posts here that recommend against the mini y-comp break which is standard on the Bushy M4. I dunno why they don't like the mini-y-comp break, I've never been around one. I just bought a 20" bushmaster national match target upper with ak break and I can't wait to get it. But if I was going with a stainless steel bull or super bull, I'd go DPMS for sure - those are so cool looking, especially those sweet 16s! They sorta have that sniper look ya know? I will own one some day. I imagine both DPMS and Bushy are great to shoot. My colt sure is =) |

I've never owned a Bushy myself but I have had a dpms A2. My DPMS was not as reliable as my buddies Bushy. I think the chrome chamber makes all the difference. Now that I run a colt upper with a chromed chamber I'll put it up against any AR for reliability. If you're building a plinker get whatever you can find cheaply if it's a rifle you need to run 100% all the time I'd go with a bushy or colt or another 5.56 chambered chrome lined bbl. My DMPS was challenged by soft brass, or cheap ammo. The colt eats it up.

We issue DPMS guns. I have had to take a few guns off line and send them back to the factory. There are lots of little things in the quality on these rifles that I don't care for.

I have a bushmaster and dpms,Both are good rifles. They both have about 2000 rnds each through them. Never a problem with the bushy. The only problem I've ever had with the dpms was a jam. This happened is the first 30rds fired. Since then I've never had a problem or jam. They are both 16" A2's. I even went 600rds with the dpms without cleaning just trying to make it fail,but it ran fine. Maybe others on here have put alot more before cleaning, but usually I clean after each trip to woods(range). But if my life depended on one,I'd pick the bushmaster.
