At a local gun shop I very carefully looked over inside and out, a W.W. Carbine like yours .
IMHO it was equal to or greater than the old school Bushmasters in regards to quality of fit, finish and relative lack of tool marks. I think you done good. For the good of the order please post a range report if time permits. |

Someone said they saw one in Wal Mart. Sounds like they are pretty much the same materials/parts as the old Bushmasters. I got the worst parts kit I have seen in my life out of the Maine Bushmaster crew towards the end of their run so I don't see hiring the same folks back is going to result in great rifles if they don't know an out of spec spring or even a squished and unusable pistol grip when they see one. I had good luck with my old Bushie though

Saw my first ones this week. Not impressed. With ACE stock the gun store was asking $930. Tried to open one rifle. We needed a hammer and wood dowel. I hate AR's that need tools to open. No markings on the bolt I saw. A shiny finish is no substitute for quality, especially in todays market. I have had mixed results with Bushmasters in the past so I am wary of their rifles.
I like the look of the muzzle brake and will see if I can find that by itself. ETA: The rifle also had a ARMS #71 plastic front sight mounted on the gas block. Not sure I trust that to hold up. |
