| I'm thinking of buying a Bushmaster 20" A3 .223 Carbine from AIM. Any opinions on Bushmaster? Will it handle both .223 and 5.56? Or is their a better AR-15 in this price range? Thanks in advance from a newbe! |
| Bushmaster uses the 5.56 chamber so will shoot both kinds of ammo just fine. The Bushmaster has a fully chrome lined chamber and bore and uses 4150 steel on their barrel. The truth is there is a lot of fine choices for AR enthuiasts right now, and there are plenty of good guns in that price range you ciould choose from. But the Bushmaster is a fine rifle, and I wouldnt try to steer you elsewhere. |
+1 In terms of value for money for a complete factory rifles, Bushmaster and RRA are good bets. But there are LOTS of other high-quality manufacturers out there these days, obviously including Colt, Armalite, CMMG, etc. |
I think most shooters would agree that Bushmaster makes great guns. And as far as comparing Bushmaster to Rock River, DPMS, or Colt, well that will just start an argument, because they are all top of the line manufactures with very loyal followers. So get the Bushmaster, you won't be sorry, plus Aim Surplus is a good company to deal with. Whenever I have money, I love buying stuff from them. |
+2 i'd pick the snake first over any other major brand...
