My father in law got this last sat. Was it a good buy has retro foregribs 2002 Bushmaster heavy barrel 20inch post ban. Like new i dont think it was ever shot no ware marks on bolt at all.

Paid 995.00 at a show after tax 1077.00. What was wierd is he made us fill out paper work at a texas show and called it in. No problem i have got gun at shows before they never do any transfer.

pretty cool with the triangular handguards, but I'm not a fan of optics mounted on top of carry handle, just me.  Don't know about Texas, but in VA all dealers are required to do a transfer, it's the prvate dealers that don't have to,  it's the "gun show loophole."

I am with you on that

In colorado it is the same as VA, gun shows dealers have to "call it in", which thankfully 4 years ago changed to the internet, private can be unregistered.

great!  lose the scope, send the barrel to adco to get recontoured under the handguards and get the barrel threaded!

I like the throw-back to the A1 style.  Nice looking rifle.  What scope mount are you using?

During the ban I went to a gun show and bought a Bushy post ban HBAR A1 upper  like that with the bolt carrier/handlefor $250 out the door from a dealer. When I say OTD, I mean I ran OTD before the dealer realized I stole it for that price.

That HBAR  turned out to be the most accurate bbl I own. I eventually swapped the bbl to a flat top upper and put free float handguard on it. It is my long range target/varmint rifle. The A1 upper was swapped to make a retro A1 lightweight CAR which is my favorite.  The triangle handguards are on a Colt SP1 clone.

Ah, the good old days of the ban.
