I think all Bushmaster lowers can accept a RDIAS.

I think it means that it is a LAR forging.

I think Bill is right. I understand that a Bushmaster will come with either an LAR manufactured receiver with a L-serial number, or a Bushmaster manufactured receiver with a BFI-serial number. The Bushmaster manufactured reciever will have a bigger snake logo as well. Personally, I think that the snake on the LAR receiver looks nicer.

  I just looked at my anniversary bushmasters.  The 20th anniversary has the same
  snake mouth as the L numbered.   The 25th anniversary has the snake head like
  the B.F.I. lowers.  Both serial numbers start with XX or XXV though.

I was told that the L was for a receiver that was sold as a lower only not a complete rifle. I don't know this for a fact.

The 'L' is the receivers forged by LAR/Grizzly. I have one of each that came on complete rifles.

It´s not. I have 2 with L prefix and both were bought as complete rifle.

Good to know I thought that might be BS.
