i bought a pre-ban bushmaster CAR upper receiver with a 5.5" flash suppresser at a gun show (like the one they have one their web site).  i had trouble with the gas tube and while replacing the tube i noticed the flash suppresser was loose. so, i gave it a twist and found out that it would remove!!!!! i called bushmaster and they said it is not supposed to be removable. doesnt this make this upper a short barrel?  what should be done now to fix this situation???

No biggie; just take said upper to a gunsmith and have the FH welded on.

Unless your heart is set on that configuration I'd have a new barrel put on...maybe a 14.5 with perm. brake....

agreed 10 1/2 " barrels suck!  You save nothing on leanght and everything on accuracy!

Its a waste of an upper.
