Hello, I want to buy a flat top reciever but don't know if I need the M4 cut. I have a Bushy M4 A2. Do I need the M4 cut receiver, how do I tell?

No. BM does not use M4 barrel extentions.

I thought people had reported that a few had surfaced.....

Post a picture, and we can give you an honest answer.

open it up, pull the bolt, look inside to see the barrel extention, if the right and left grooves extend into the reciever then you will need an M4 reciever as in the picture below.

If the feed ramps do not extend into the reciever then you will need a regular reciever, if they do not extend then the reciever will be flush up to the barrel extention

More reliable or not, they look badass.  

IIRC LMT and Colt are the only ones doing the M4 ramps on their barrels no??
