I am going to purchase a Bushmaster pre-ban 16" upper soon and I need to know where to buy it for the best price. It's 535.00 on the Bushy site I think. Any other retailers have them cheaper? Also, are there any special options that increase the quality or performance that I should get? Are the Bushy bores chromelined like the barrel or is that an extra? Thanks.

Also...I need to buy a M4 style collapsable stock. At the gun show today a guy was selling some for 59.99 each. Is there a difference in quality in these or all they all about the same?

Bushmaster chromes both bore and chamber on all their barrels except for the Varminter and DCM Competition.  

I've always made it a point of ordering Bushmaster parts directly from Bushmaster... That way I know it's ALL Bushy.  I figure the few dollars more it costs to order direct are worth it to know it's the real deal.

The only special options I'd consider are lots of ammo... enjoy...

I would definitely reccomend a flattop receiver with the detachabele carry handle.  It adds versatility to the rifle and is a must for mounting optics.  It is also a must for one day mounting a SIR or RAS II.

I have had some after market stocks rattle a lot more than factory stocks.  Though i do have one aftermarket that doesn't rattle at all.  I would take a careful look at it and see how well constructed it is and then make a decision.
