I THINK the upper on this rifle is a Bushmaster, but I am not sure. Can anyone ident the upper from the following photos? Thanks!

The forge mark is probably Alcoa Forge, but that doesnt tell you what company distributed it.
Not sure on the barrel. If it is an Oly Barrel, the ones i shot were very accurate. I hear that is one of the things Oly produces well. One of the guys I work with has an OLY. I will ask him to look at his rifle. Update: Just looked at my friends OLY. The stamping on the barrel is at the same location but uses different fonts on the numbers. Different forge mark on the upper receiver. |
Erik, for what it's worth I own the same Olympic upper and it's an excellent shooter 
Even though Olympic's specs indicate the barrel is a 1:9 mine is actually closer to 1:8.5, and it's extremely accurate with 75gr Hornady TAP. Here's mine, configured as a trunk gun:

I would rather have a quality upper, or complete rifle than to always be second quessing if the oly will function or not when I need it too. |
