The Bushmaster will eat any ammo you feed it. Always reliable.
Thats my experience. |

According my LGS because it's the weapon of choice for crazy mass shooting people... Seriously... They tried to tell me that BM's are hard to keep in-stock because everyone wants them due to the trunk snipers and the CT dude using them.
Personally I wouldn't buy a BM or a DPMS for that matter. My minimum bottom of the barrel go to brand has always been Smith and Wesson but I normally buy Colt's, Daniel Defense or Noveske's. That said any of them will eat up your ammo. Buy one of those Colt OEM rifles for $750~850.00 and set it up the way you want it. |

My LGS doesn't carry either brand but, we get customers asking about them all the time. The lower priced models we carry are S&W, a few PSA's on occasion, and Armalite's. Other than that, our best sellers are DD, BCM, KAC, LMT, and Noveske's. |

Apparently they're super picky about their dealers. |

I live in MD and they wrote Bushmaster into their latest law, so it is a non-starter. DPMS is available. I like their Lo Pro slick side upper. I have used them on several builds.

Cliff at Joint Force Enterprise is also local to us and I just sold a pretty cool looking LM8 MWS that was dipped in Black Multicam. Not sure if we have any uppers in stock but, we typically only stock the 10.5" upper cause we have a lot of customers that are into clones. |

So many better choices than Bushmaster or DPMS . The Colt 6920 that you can find at some Walmarts for $1000 is way better as far as quaility.
