Quoted: Hi! I am currently seeking to purchase an AR15 for home defense and also to possibley use on duty. . . . . We have bushmasters at my police department now. . . . Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Pibb148, If you decide to buy your own to use on-duty, keep in mind that if you shoot someone with it, it will be taken away from you and stored in a property room for the duration of the case (which could take
years). While arriving and stored there, it will be handled by anybody and everybody with access to it, and it will more than likely come back to you (eventually) in far worse shape than when it left.
For on-duty use, use your Departments Bushmaster. It's a great rifle and if you break it or shoot someone with it, they'll give you another one right away!
For home use, I would buy either a complete Colt 6920/6921 or. . . build your own with a stripped Bushmaster lower, Colt SP1 internals (NOS), and complete the rest of the rifle with current Colt 6920/6921 complete upper and stock of your choice.
