hadSo, I went to the dealer and he tore it ( rifle ) apart, and did not notice anything wrong with that Bushy. Yet he swears by Wolf 55 or 62 gr Fmj. He gave me 20 rounds to test fire, and sure as hell, NO problem firing the Wolf 55gr FMJ. Well, now I noticed the lot# to be VB20. I wonder if this is it. I also need to check the 1000 rd sealed case of Q3131A also, and I have about 800 rds of Wolf 62 gr FMJ.
I am now wondering what the problem is, since everything should have been good to go, but was not.
hatThis web site is outf%#*^standing. I have learned so much, just from surfing these forums, since I am new to AR-15's. Even when I was in the Army, we were issued 1911a1 .45 cal pistols, which I still prefer any day over those 9mm's, since I
used to own a Beretta 92FS. And we were issued the old M3a1 .45 cal submachinegun. Also now my customized paratrooper SKS just rests in its carry bag, since I have 2 new Bushy's. Great site here, with a load of very usefull information here.
hmasterWell I had the same problems with one of my Bushmasters not being able to eject the Winchester Q3131A rounds. But it would always fire the Wolf 55 or 62 gr fmj rounds w/ no jam, no short-stroking, it always worked with Wolf ammo. I wonder why?
herSo I took the bad Bushmaster back to the dealer, he mailed it off to be fixed. 4 weeks later, still no word. So, since I have done a good deal of business with them, the owner asked me if I wanted to trade that for a brand new Bushmaster XM15-E2S w/ the removable handle ( A-3 ) and the heavier barrel. It is brand new, and looks so sweet. Next week I intend on bringing it to the 100 / 50 yard range and see how it eats the Q3131A.
