Well I finally did it..I just picked up my brand new A2 Bushy, 20" HBAR yesterday. I took it directly to the range and promptly checked zero and then put 100 rnds downrange. Outstanding AR, I'm truly impressed. Oustanding accuracy with XM193, 55gr. I can't believe I waited this long to purchase one of these fine pieces of equipement. I'm so smitten, I just ordered a 16" upper and M4 style stock this morning....You guys never warned me it would be like this??? PS. Thanks to all those who gave advice on my purchase..Way to go guys!! |
| No Archer, I was able to get hooked up at Jerry's. He was still out of stock (20" A2's) and wasn't getting anything in for a couple more weeks he thought. This one was on the rack and priced right. Thanks for the lead on Jerry's though, I'm going to use him to get some mags... |

Welcome to the disease. I bought a Bush M4 16" to plink with and on my first outing to the range with it, encountered a gentleman who was sighting in an M14 for a match that was to be held the next day. I was doing the standard 25/300 military sight in procedure at 25 yds and he offered to post a target for me down at the 200yd line. I shot a few at it and he said it wasn't bad shooting and I should come to the match. I did. Me and a 16" M4 and 2 30rd mags and nothing else. I realized instantly that I was under-equipped but shot the match lying in the dirt anyway and had a ball. Then came the upgrades. First was a 20" National Match upper... helped a lot. Then the 1/4moa rear sight with hooded, interchangeable apertures and the hooded crosshair front sight... and spotting scopes and proper mags, a shooting mat and a hogue grip. I used that to finish out the 2002 season. Come fall the reloading gear came... and an A2 lower... and a Compass Lake Engineering free float handguard. Don't forget several hundred dollars worth of tools to install all this stuff... And a shooting stool and a real spotting scope stand. At that point I had replaced nearly every piece of my orignial 16" M4... a bolt and charge handle made it fully functional again. Next.... trigger for the match AR... have fun. |
