I think that your dealer is BSing you. Bushmaster, at one time, had a small US military contract and made M4 carbines. They do produce rifles for export, however. Call or e-mail Busmaster yourself (just ask about availability), their customer service is top notch!
Good luck with your purchase! |

Right now Bushmaster has decided not to export anything firearm related out of the States.
But I think this has more to do with airfreight and heightened security measures than it has to do with wartime production. Kuiper |

Given the incredible, shrinking military under the klinton administration, I would think that the US Military has warehouses full of extra guns.

They do. Lots of M16A1s. They're perfectly good with a new barrel that'll handle the 62 gr ammo, of if the old M93 is available.

I heard Bushmaster is now 3 months behind because of extra-ordinary civvie consumption.
Everybody waiting to get a new upper, now decides to do it all at once. |

Personally, I think he's BSing you. The military contract for the M4/M16/AR15 series is currently with Fabrique Nationale.

Sorry... I made a mistake. The military M4s are still being produced by Colt. However, it's the M16/Ar15 contract that was awarded to FN.
