Quoted: Is there any difference between the new Bushmaster 16" M4A3 Carbine (BCWA3F 16M4) and the Patrolman's carbine.
|
Yes there is.
I just bought a new LE Patrolman over the M4A3.
Main difference.
Patrolman - 16" M4 barrel with threaded barrel and A2 flashider and a M4 front barrel mounted side sling adapter installed, also my patrolman has a six position stock. The M4A3 has a 14 1/2" M4 barrel with a welded vortex style flashider and no M4 side sling adapter, and I'm not sure about the stock being a six of four position, i could have bought either, i went with the 16" threaded barrel with side sling adapter so i can easily change between muzzle attachments.
They both are M4 style A3's, its just personal peference.
My .02 worth.
BTW, i have made two minor changes to my patrolman so far, i put on Colt double shield M4 handguards and installed a SOG telestock slip on rubber pad. and a YHM rear A2 flip up flatop
rear sight. Optics are next.
