That's no "factory" job. Is he charging a higher price due to the finish?
Just Say No. |

Let's see... I'm trying to remember which manufacturers offer painted furniture. I remember Armalite offers either RealTree or Advantage as a pattern. If any other manufacturer offers a factory camo painted finish it is still a copyrighted pattern like those mentioned. Don't know of any manufacturer offering painted metal AND plastic but I'm not 100 percent on that.
Jim_Dandy can you help out here? |

The question is: did Bushmaster make camo'd guns before the AW ban? I don't *think* so, but they made ARs from about '86 through the ban (since this gun is configured as a pre-ban, we'll assume it is).
I'd ask in the Bushmaster forum. -Troy |

Troy, that was an idea that occurred to me too but there's the remote possibility the rifle could be some kind of a post-ban LEO rifle. I don't think so either.

Isn't that an A1 sight on the upper?
I was once told that BM never manufactured any uppers with A1 sights, only A2 sights. Have you tried posting this in the Bushmaster industry forum? |

Bushy does offer an A1 upper as a separate part (p/n A1UR) but don't remember if it's been offered as a standard catalog item. I do seem to remember having a Bushy A1 AK Shorty one time. Only owned it for a couple of weeks. Traded it in when I changed everything over to flattops. I've heard Bushy will do custom assemblies for some departments.

This gun is being considered by me in a trade. Its represented as a preban coming from the factory finished and in this configuration. I have no reason to doubt the person who currently owns the gun but I want independant confirmation if possible.

I will find out Phil but I have not physically handled the gun. Its supposed to be ALL factory BM. |
