I have a Bushmaster 20" A2 and I want to put a flattop upper on it to make a A4.Are the CMT parts up with the Bushmaster,colt and RRA stuff? I have a std 20" govt profile bbl on the Bushmaster, If I get the feed ramp cuts in the upper, will that be a problem? Thanks

CMT makes a great upper.  They make the lowers for RRA.  My CMT upper matches my RRA lower perfectly so maybe they make the uppers too.

Ameetec sells the A4 uppers made by the same people as Bushmaster. If you want a Bushmaster upper but don't want to get gouged then call Ameetec.

The CMT Uppers are every bit as good as anything Bushmaster and Much better than some stuff out there. I have used several and can find no problems with them.

CMT rocks, a nice flat black color. I got mine from Denny's.

CMT uppers are very nice.  I got mine from Denny.  Nice black upper with white T markings. No trouble installing my Bushmaster Brl on it.

If I build another upper I will use CMT

Got mine from Denny also.  Great upper and matches my Bushmaster lowers pretty nice.  I asked Denny about the m-4 cuts and he said it wasn't a good idea with the 20" govt profile barrel.  Jamming could be possible.  Get the standard one for the same price.  Great service from Denny.

Your statement does not make sense. How do M4 feedramps cause jambs?

I purchased one from Denny and one from Giffmann and BOTH were outstanding.  I'm loving this CMT stuff!

They are OK in my experience, but not nearly as nice as BFI or RRA.

The Bushey upper in question had a standard rifle barrel extension.  A standard rifle extension will overhang the M4 ramps in the upper and possibly catch a bullet tip.

I believe that CMT machines RRA uppers

Wellll. Igot one from Denny too, and had to play with it a bit, tho nothing major.

First, it took both hands to close the ejection port cover when I got it, because the edge of the port hadn't been chamfered. Second, the finish started wearing off the forward assist body with the very first push.

For the first, I had to use a small curved needle file to create a chamfer (4-5 min work), then had to pull the forward assist assy, and chamfer off the razor sharp edges at the edge of the FA hole (30-35 min). Action cover now closes w/one thumb push, and FA can be operated 50 times w/no wear on the barrel of the assist.

Not major issues, but indicative of the rush that the end of the AWB has put on the industry. I'll be happy when we get some tighter QC back in the world----if we ever do

Jeeze,  why didn't you let me know.  We would have replaced it no charge.

well based on what you guys said about denny's, i just ordered a cmt upper from there, are they pretty good about getting stuff shipped right out? I tried calling them but all i kept getting was the machine. I hope it doesnt take forever to get it.

Everything I've ordered from Denny has been shipped quickly.  No worries there...  You'll definitely be happy with these CMT uppers as well as Denny's excellent service.

Denny's gave me excellent service.  
I'd suggest the Grand Slam scrambled, with bacon and CMT flat top.
