Does anyone know if Bushmaster will Remanufacture a lower (in this case Pre-ban) for it's customers if the lower has "seen better days", broken, etc. (Obviously for a price)

Like the kind of service Oly will provide?

I thought Oly was the only company that would do it....

Just buy a new lower.

There's no ban to be "pre".

The law does allow for a receiver to be replaced by the manufacturer with another one bearing the same serial number.  The original has to be destroyed by the manufacturer, though.

I have heard that Bushmaster will do this.   But I can't speak for them and you'd best check with them directly.

Unless you live in the People's Republic of Connecticut as the original poster does. To them the ban is still on.

They told me no a few years back. But I see now that Handgun Control is suing the BATF for letting them do it. If they loose you might would have to forfeit it if you get it remanufactured. Check their website for the suit info.

I was just curious enough to find it:

I kinda feel like I need a shower after looking through that site.
I always hate browsing websites like that, there should be a law against them .
