| Found a new Bushmaster stripped lower at a shop today. All of the markings are the same as mine except one.. Safety selector is marked " fire. safe. auto ". Just wondering what I found here. Thought it would be cool to do a build up on but I could just see the LEOs face after seeing those markings. Wasnt sure if they come marked that way or not from the factory.. He has it for $185. Any feedback is appreciated... John |
| Before you purchase it, call Bushmaster and verify what type of receiver it is ( pre, post of LE/Class III ) via the serial number. I have never seen any that come marked like that that were not Class III machineguns. I have seen some re-marked receivers that were married to registered sears. The price is OK but stripped receivers can be had for about $100 from Rock River and others. |

Definately verify that it is a post ban or preban legal lower and not a dealer post sample. It was probably marked that way for someone with a RDIAS. There is no law against it saying AUTO. A LEO marked lower in the correct configuration is legal also but both may draw unwanted attention. It really is not anything special. I would recommend passing on it. The price isn't bad considering what it cost to get one remarked. Cruizer |
| Thanks, I can be fairly certain its a post ban, as this dealer usually knows exactly what he has, I did not handle it so I am unsure of any other markings, as I am sure you will agree d rather stay away from something iffy and not raise any eyebrows.. But just to satisfy my curiosity im going down there during lunch tomorrow and handle it and talk to the shop owner.. Thanks again for the response.. John |
