I have a ban era 20" Bushmaster and want to know what DIY options I have to put a bayonet lug on it. Thanks in advance. ARDog |

There is a clamp on unit... looks a little, shall we say non factory but if you want a poker on the end its the only way to go, short of changing your barrel out.... Watch your barrel diameter before ordering letter opener adapter |

check here on removal of the FSB and installing a new one tips on the bushy FSBs: the pins are tapered and will go in/out one way, so find out which side is which second, they tend to be a PITA to remove try soaking in CLP or at worst cases, freezing or heating up the metal (freezer is usually recommended) |
You can try but the success rate is like .05 %. The front sight and barrel are maufactured as an assembly. I would sell the barrel to someone in California and get the one you want. |
The FSB is removable. They are not manufactured as an assembly. They are manufacturered as two different pieces. Then, when they are *assembled* together - they are taper drilled as a unit... and you cannot easily remove a neutered FSB, then slip on a no-ban FSB and expect the taper pins to line up. They wont. As stated, if you simply MUST have a bayo lug... sell your upper/barrel assembly and buy a new one. |
Don't send your crappy ban-period barrels here. We got no problem having threaded barrels and bayonet lugs in CA. You must be thinking of NY where they can't have threaded barrels... If it's just a matter of threading, I can take care of that for you pretty quickly and I hear that my prices are pretty good too.
