Well, you need to be more specific as to what you are looking for, i.e., plinking, target shooting, competition, hunting, etc. But yes, Bushmaster makes a good quality firearm overall.

What's a noban version?

No ban/pre-ban = Flash Suppressor and Bayonette Lug
Also a collapsable stock depending on if you are looking at a carbine or a rifle. |

i say that it is not a good gun for the intended purpose of target/hunting why handicap yourself? get a full size 20" AR. it's not like an AR is a heavy, clumsy weapon. |

NO. This is a good GUN.  What you are referring to is a good RIFLE, not a GUN.

Yes but why get it in postban configuration? Do you live in a state that still has a ban in force? |

According to Webster's dictionary... 1 a : a piece of ordnance usually with high muzzle velocity and comparatively flat trajectory b : a portable firearm (as a rifle or handgun) c : a device that throws a projectile So, yes, a rifle is a gun. Go peddle your basic training brainwashing propaganda to people who are supposed to think for themselves! Next you will say that a handGUN isn't a gun, and a shotGUN isn't a gun. Marriam-Webster's Dictionary : Gun |

I am sick of people getting hung up on not calling rifles 'guns' becuase they were brainwashed by 'sarge'. They need to learn the English language from a more reliable source than the U.S. Army.

Obviously you never served, or if you did, you evidently didn't learn anything from "sarge". Most experienced NCO's (or "sarge" to you) have forgotten more about "GUNS" than you will ever know. They are the backbone of our Armed Forces and they are not to be disrespected. If it makes you happy call it what you want then, it's a free country (thanks to "sarge" in no small degree). Furthermore you won't see the M16 or M4 called a "GUN" anywhere in TM 9-1005-319-23, TM 9-1005-319-10, MIL-C-70599A or FM 23-9. I'll take the terminology used in these publications over Mirriam-Webster any day. Edited for tact |

The one you posted is fine, actually the two you posted were fine. The only thing to keep in mind is to make sure you get one with a threaded bbl. Unless you live in a state that has it's own version of the AWB. That's what everyone keeps trying to point out. As long as you don't buy a Hesse, or a cast oly, most people won't be too hard on you for whatever you decide.

Which ever rifle you choose, be sure to get one with the factory installed silicon treated receiver gaskets and tactical black moly flash hider bearings. A mag well stretcher should be part of your order as well.

OK I think yo should guet it. If you wat a full size the bushmaster is the way to go. My advice though is to get it with a detachable cary handle. Don't do what my father did, spend the extra money, it will be worth it in the long run.

You military guys get over it, just because in the service you were forbidden to use the term gun for small arms, doesn't mean we can't.

Not in my experience, but that's just my experience. I knew less about guns after a year in the Army than I did while I was in college. I refer to my issued M4, M24 and SPR as "guns" every chance I get. Paintball, Why not a carbine? Why not a collapsible stock? I hate to see a good man go bad.  Seriously, though, I do prefer the carbines and folding, threaded, telescoping stuff. Assuming that you can legally own them where you are, I think the carbine with no-ban stuff is cool. The A2 setup is just so large. Then again, I love my 20" A2 very much. |

Well, since you asked; Main Entry: (2) clip Function: noun 2 : a device to hold cartridges for charging the magazines of some rifles; also : a magazine from which ammunition is fed into the chamber of a firearm Marriam-Webster's Dictionary : Clip To me, handguns have clips, rifles have mags but it works both ways according to good ole Webster. |

When I want to know about Lexicography I'll ask Webster's When I want to know firearm/weapon terminology I'll ask a Marine. The DR_ is correct a GUN is a crew served weapon (Artillery or MachineGun), just because the limp wristed latte drinking bafoons at Webster's don't know the difference doen'st matter a whit. |

The only thing I don't like is the narrow CAR handguards, but that's mainly a personal preference type of thing. For me, the fatter M4 handguards are better. I own that exact Bushmaster upper in a no-ban configuration (aside from the handguards) and like it a lot. It's light, handy, and very quick. If you could see yourself installing optics down the road youmight want to consider the same upper, but in a flattop configuration. |

I just watched that a few min ago....and last night. And the day before. I have seen that movie WAY to much. It gets me pumped up to lift for some reason. As for the gun selection...if you want a carbine get one. They are accurate, lightweight, and good for CQC. I have a 16'' now and eventually plan on getting a 20'' a2. You don't have to get a telestock. I have a 6 position stock and a a2 stock. And I keep the A2 stock on my gun all the time. I like its solid feel better. But the 6 position will get its own lower soon when I order one

You can lead a horse to water... If you all want to sound ignorant, well, it's a free country. Great answer Forest. FWIW a word can make it into the dictionary based on common usage. That in no way makes the word a proper technical term. It merely points to it's popularity as slang. |
