[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Bushmaster Carry-Handle / Upper Exchange

Posted: 6/25/2007 8:01:21 AM EDT

All,

Recently, I purchased a Bushmaster XM15 M4 (carry-handle top) at a local gun retailer. I have fired less than 100 rounds through it. After joining this site, I am now wishing that I purchased the flat-top.

Last week, I read a post on this forum where Bushmaster exchanged uppers for a member. Is this possible? Is there a charge? How do I go about this? Should I give up and just order a replacement upper, or rather another AR-15? Ha!

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
~WC~

Just curious, what don't you like about the carry handle? You can get several different mounts for optics right from the Bushmaster catalog that came with the rifle.

Guys,

Thanks for the replies, however, I am allergic to cats and I believe I will hold out a little longer for more than $210. Ha!

I want a flat-top so I can mount an Aimpoint Comp ML3. I contacted LaRue and they said that they do not have a mount for the Aimpoint for that application.

Just save your money and buy a new upper when ya get the funds.

YOu can use a ARMS #39A2 gooseneck mount that will work w/ the Aimpoint, placing it out over the handguards, forward of the A2 handle.

eta - it does add weight to the rifle, but works very well w/ the standard ARMS #22M68 mount (that holds the Aimpoint)

Call Bushmaster.

I sent Bushmaster customer service an email on Friday afternoon. Hopefully I will get something back from them soon. Due to the cost of the uppers, I might as well purchase a 2nd AR, correct?

Go to the AL hometown forum and ask if anybody local to you can help. If, for example, you lived in SW Ohio, I'd be happy to tell you where to buy a flattop receiver online, and then I'd have you over and I'd do the swap for you for the cost of a six-pack.

All,

Bushmaster responded. They said that they would swap the uppers for only $100, provided my Upper was still in good shape.

Thanks!

Can you post the email? I too have a fixed carry handle on my Bushy and wouldn't find trading it for a flattop for $100.

If you don't want to post the email, can you tell us the person you spoke with?

P,

I sent you an email with the contact information...
