It is bad enough there are stupid people out there, but to have some intentionally act stupid is just rediculous.

One story i heard was that RRA was supplying receivers to BM for the .308 rifles they built.
BM was also buying collabsable stocks from RRA. BM found a cheaper supplier for the stocks and wanted RRA to match/lower their price on the stocks. RRA said no. Bm said OK, we dont want your stocks. RRA said cool, no more .308 receivers for you either, maybe we will just do our own now. Pretty funny. KyARGuy |

From a conversation with guy I know on the inside, and from my IM's with RRAMODERATOR, they have supposedly fixed the problems that Bushy had with the rifle (RRA was in on production the whole time) and they don't expect to have the same problems. Neither went into detail on what they changed on the rifle, though.
Keep drinking that Kool-Aid, bud. WIZZO |

In a thread on 1911forum, I had the same observation only to recieve a reply stating Bushmaster's issue was not due to the design but the manufacturing. That RRA would not have the same compromised process. As much as I hope that is the case, I can't believe that the other people who tried the same thing before Bushmaster had the same problems as Bushmaster, given the number of years between attempts. |

During the week before Christmas I called Bushy to order a few small parts and while on the phone with them I could not resist asking what happened and why they dropped the .308's...I was told directly by the sales person that the demand just was not there, at first sales were good but then they dropped off...He went on too say that in order to produce the .308's parts the .223 line had too be shut down and changed over......Take that for what you want, thats what I was told.......

It's the same as the discontinued Bushmaster BAR-10. The receivers are CMT.
The difference is: RRA will be selling them for $1,100 and change whereas Bushy was asking $1,600 and up.... I think that's the REAL reason Bushmaster couldn't sell them. |

That is the major reason for the dropping of the line, I believe, not money. |

Bushmaster's other big problem was the end of the AWB killed a lot of demand for their .308. The major thing they had going for them was that they took cheap FAL mags. Once you could buy new AR10 mags at a reasonable price, the FAL feed lost the major advantage it had.

Pretty much sums it up. That is why I hope this never takes off. AR-10s need to use AR-10 mags. |

Like I said. One must live a rather sad existance when stuff like that is important to them, to the point of wishing commercial failure on one of the most successful AR makers of the last 15 years. Or maybe it's because Colt sucks ass in the commercial market? |

Are you even capable of legitimate discussion? Seriously, why do you always post childish shit like this?  In my opinion, I'd rather see AR10 mags myself. I'd prefer original AR10/SR25 mags even more, but the biggest concern for me is how it shoots. For their asking price, I don't think I can complain if it performs. |
