I have recently came across a bushmaster firearm that I have never heard. Can somebody check out this link and tell me something about this rifle? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=75366080 |
I believe that you may be on to something. I checked it with Bushmaster's library and they don't have anything that looks like it. I am wondering if this is a "garage" made rifle with Bushmaster parts. BTW sorry about the non-link. Just copy and paste if you're curious. |
I did copy and paste and that IS a Bushmaster product, their first line of rifles. I was just saying that it is not an assault rifle because it is semiauto. |

Made the link hot for you www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=75366080 Edit, seems to be one of the earlier products of bushmaster, before they were bought by quality parts. Have never shot or seen one, but from what I have read they dont have a good rep. Interesting though. |
| Thats a Bushmaster from 1988 89 before they started making ARs and it was called the Bushmaster assault rifle.It came the way it is in the pic with a side folder and it came a a full wood stocked rifle..yes wood..takes AR mags and I think the FCG.Uses an AR18 type short stroke piston I believe. |
| Darn. You dont see to many of them. But that is the Carbine version. Based on the old Arm gun. It started out life as a Air force survial gun in the 1960's. They made a few but was never addopted. Bushmaster made a few Arm guns. .223 cal, M16 mag's Gas pistion. Simalar to the Ar180.(In the late 1970's early 1980's) They also made a few Longer barreled Carbine models, based on it. Very few made. Quality So/So. But kind of neat. Bushmasters old logo use to have the Arm gun in it. A few weeks ago someone did a nice write up on them here. Might do a serach? |
