I am new to the board but I wanted to share a little about my experience with Bushmaster.  I have a carbon 15, model 90689, and I have read a lot of reviews from people who say to stay away from bushmaster, or had bad experiences with them.  

My experience has been smooth so far.  I have really enjoyed the rifle at the range and modifying it with the aftermarket (magpul) parts that I wanted.  I did have a small issue with the rail being a little loose.  I e-mailed Bushmaster about it and they were very attentive and responsive.  They sent me a service repair shipping label, fixed it in one day and sent it back.  The customer service was great and they fixed it by installing a new upper receiver.  I have a picture on my computer but sadly, I can't figure out how to upload it into this message.  I would like to share it, please advise about that.  (thanks)

I just wanted to offer my novice .02 and to say that I would have no problems recommending this rifle as an entry level.  Thanks for listening.

Bushys have always worked well for me. No issues at all. But then again no Carbon-15's either...

People hate on bushy, glocks, kimber, Taurus, 1911s, ect ... meh.  Everyone thinks they're an expert on the internet, some are, most arent.  Your opinion is the one that matters the most, enjoy what works for you.

The carbon 15s have some specific problems because of the material used and it's inability to stand up to sustained use as an upper receiver. might never effect you, good luck, glad you are enjoying yourself
