Congratulation. My first was a Bushmaster w/o a removeable carry handle. Yes, there are rails that attach to the holes. You really should post a picture, or the natives will get restless.
I sold my first Bushy, but I now have 5 AR's......I hope you can afford black rifle disease. |

Oh, I forgot one thing.....some on here will tell you that Bushmaster sucks, and they're full of shit. Don't listen to a word of that crap when it comes down. They're great firearms, and every mfr puts out a piece of junk from time to time.

i dont really have anything to take a picture with except a 1998 webcam and you wouldnt be able to tell what it was anyway, ill try to get someone to birng a camera over, but its just stock nothing done to it collapsible stock 16 inch barrel, i have the rail that goes onto the carry handle with like a thumb nut on the bottom to mount an optic well i put on a red dot and when i was done shooting the mount was loose i think it might have just been hand tight i dont know it was on there when i got it. Should i make sure its a little more than hand tight? or is this a common problem with this type of rail?

Yes, yes it's true they suck. Mine keeps sucking down ammo and killin paper - flawlessly. Of course it's an ugly old dissipator so it real really sucks...So much in fact, I may have to get another one say maybe a super light just to see if it sucks too....Congrats. I suspect you'll be nothing but happy with it.

I've been happy with all my Bushmasters.
I've used this rail to mount to the vent holes and it worked fine: http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=93 For the carry handle mount, you can use a little loc-tite on the threads to keep it from backing out if you're going to leave it there (I'd only do this if it was the see-through type that allows you to use the iron sights also). You can also put a slim plastic washer under the nut to protect the finish if you want. Welcome to the disease!  |

2 years ago I bought a Bushy Caron-15 flat top....laugh at my ass if you will, but that damn thing is a sweet shooter.....
Fast forward to now...3 AR's later I'm working on building my first upper and am starting to wonder if the wife is going to kill me over this whole BRD thing....

The builds never stop and they just get more expensive. I'm building a little higher end AR right now to get it out of my system for a bit. I guess you could say I'm trying to force myself into remission.

Congrats!
The carry handle mount will get better, mine would work loose when it was new. Now I can tighten it down and it will stay put. Since we're enticing you with photos of our Bushmasters, here's mine... 
ETA: Glad I wasn't the first "crazy man with a bayonet" to post!
Now get those pictures up! |

the very first Ar i bought was a BM and after over 7000 rounds, I hand less than 10 FTE/FTF's. At the time, i didn't even know that this could have been mag related. After switching to PMAG's, I didn't have another issue. Ended up selling it during the frenzy..

My AR is a Bushmaster XM15 ES2 with A1 upper as well. I picked it up in March or April. Then I sent the upper back to Bushmaster and changed out the A1 for an A3 flat top and the gas piston conversion kit as well. Gonna put some optics on it eventually but just have a BUIS for now. Love that gun.

You need a gunsmith to remove the barrel from the receiver so you might as well send it to bushmaster b/c they do it for free if you buy it from them. You can buy the full asembly or just the basics and they can take the rest from your old one. Bushmaster V Match "Flat-Top" Upper Receiver Assembly Part No: VUR-M2 Price: $190.00 http://www.bushmaster.com/images/catalog/Parts_Accessories/Lower_Receivers/VUR.gif Stripped V Match Upper Receiver Part No: 8448524-V Price: $151.95 http://www.bushmaster.com/images/catalog/Parts_Accessories/Lower_Receivers/8448524-V.gif You can ship your upper directly to Bushmaster b/c only the lower receiver is considered a firearm. |

You could either buy a new complete upper or buy a stripped upper and switch them out (or have someone else do it)
The upper itself will be around a $100, don't know what someone like ADCO would charge to install it. Don't get an upper with M4 feed ramps unless your barrel has them. You can then either keep and use your A1 (C7) upper for your next build or sell it to recover a bit of the cost.  ORyou can also click the little green landscape button on your reply toolbar and just paste it into the first box:  ALL current Bushmasters say XM15E2S on the receiver, regardless of configuration |

I have two Bushies, an A2 20" rifle...absolutely flawless from the beginning, and an M4A2, which was a mess at the get-go, but that was most
likely a dealer or distributor problem. The carbine was returned to Bushie and shortly afterwards returned in a flawless state. Both are 1/9 twist and more accurate than I can shoot. A third weapon has a Bushie barrel, but the rest of the piece is a complete mongrel, so it doesn't count as a true Bushie....according to the faithful ! |

Best leave it to a professional.. IMO Doing it yourself is not impossible or even difficult but only if you are willing to invest in the tools you will need beforehand. And you'll need to do your homework before putting a tool a tool to the gun. That's where the pros come in, they already have the tools and the experience. It's usually much cheaper to just pay someone else to do it. |

Its not that i wouldt want a pro to do it, its just that i live in the middle of nowhere and these gun shops around here are shade tree i bet most of them have never even held an AR.
