The Bushmaster M4 A2 in the 2nd pic is actually a build I put together using 100% Bushmaster Major componants with the exception of the BCM BCG, BCM GF Mod4, and a Colt Type E Trapdoor Stock.

| That turned out very nice. Let us know how it shoots. Every time I see one I want to do another. They are fun. Have used a few Superior lowers for previous builds. Only downside I've ever seen is the early ones were a little snug in the magwell. Never a problem with surplus mags but p-mags were tight. |

Looks great!! Very clean. I may eventually swap out the upper when I get another black A2 upper and use the H&R A1 for a super light CAR15 build, with para-cord straps, and who knows what.....That's why building these guns are so fun, the ease of putting them together, I put this one together in my workshop cranking 70's Rock under a drop light that was running off an inverter during hurricane Irene.

Mine is a sliver over 3 digits in the serial number and works just fine, only issue I have is the stamping on the magwell, where the Rollmark is is deeper on one side and the other is fairly light. The Serial Numbers are nice and deep, so I could give a shit. LOL

Didn't have any Rifle targets on hand so I grabbed a stack of clays and glued them to a small piece of OSB plywood. Placed them touching side by side to see if windage was off and it was shooting about 1 1/2" to the right and dead nuts elevation, couple clicks to the left and I have a very accurate Rifle. Next time I'll get some real target sheets and show you how she groups. This time out I wanted to function test and get it sited in within reason. Mission Accomplished

Last time I went to the range I re-zeroed my FN A2 barrel at 25 meters and put a twenty round mag into a U.S. Army 25M zero target.
The first time I zeroed this rifle was with a RRA trigger group but for some reason the trigger was horrible. It now has a USGI trigger group and feels just like my other AR's. Quoted:
