Me too.  Since upgrading the spring and adding an o ring, it has run 100%.

I own several BM lowers and they are pefect.

first post nails it. i've had one but didn't really like it. there are better choices for the same price or less.

I bought a used Bushmaster last year. It was in great shape and the price was right. I'm satisfied with it. No complaints. It shoots as good as my S&W and BCM build.  It's just as reliable as the others and all three rifles run almost entirely on Brown Bear, Tula, Silver Bear and Wolf.
It's shoots better than I do, runs perfectly and doesn't have to be spotless to function. I can't ask for more than that.
I will talk about one odd thing I noticed about the Bushmaster.  When I bought it the rifle had a detachable carrying handle (A2 sight). I really had to crank the windage to the left to get it zeroed. No biggie. I understand that the carrying handle will not center exactly on the upper and may have a slight cant. I replaced the original sight with a Magpul MBUS and also had to crank it waaaay over to the left.  I got it zeroed and then mounted a scope over the MBUS.  My other two rifles only needed a couple of clicks for windage when using the Magpul MBUS (they also got scopes over the backup sights).  I just thought this was a bit odd that the Bushmaster needed a load of left windage ajustment on two different sights.

So what will the interweb tell us to think next month?

Mine is 100% since 1993! Not one single issue, it eats it all, no parts failures, no ftes, no ftfs. I shoot the crap out of it, clean it twice a year and never think about it failing. It is an accurate dependable little gun. It is an excellent weapon.

it is good enough. I've been happy with mine and i know my dad has been happy with his. There are better ones, but Bushmaster is good enough for a basic AR.

I've had an XM-15 carbine for 6 years, with no complaints.

umm.....  The Bushmaster logo is lame as hell (like most modern American gun company logos)

Never had any problems with my Bushmaster.

One of my favorite rifles.

I like their logo too.

Not that it's a huge deal, but I think it is one of the better AR rollmarks.

 

mid tier, top tier who gives a shirt, you'll never wear one out. I'm not an AR aficionado, or gear nut, just a guy who likes to shoot a lot. Have a Colt that I use to use in DCM matches and a Bushy. To me they are both the same....just 2 ARs that can shoot better than I can and will last longer than I can afford ammo
