No, not mine but any comments would be welcome.  The daughters man-meat brought it home this weekend.  Bushmaster, (Post ban) in .223/5.56 Nato.  Fixed (pinned) stock, welded muzzle break and ground off bayonet mount to make it legal in Massachusetts with 10 round mags.

He says it's quite a nice shooter.  I couldn't say one way or the other.  The last AR I shot was thirty years ago and she was full-tilt-boogie with a selector and thirty round mags.  Smuggled home from Nam by a good friend.  Lots of fun but not practical in todays political climate.

This is one of the few AR types legal around here.  He went to NH to get a decent price...

What on earth would you be referring too Mr. Haz, sir?  I know not of what you speak!  Have I made some egregious error of some sort? :-[

(Yea, sure, that's the ticket, he'll never know...)

These are my 5 Bushmasters. All run like a top. I think bushmaster builds one of the best AR-15's out there.  Bill T.

Thanks. The Modular Carbine, (second from left), is the latest edition. Since the election everyone, everywhere seems to be picked clean out of anything AR-15 or AK-47 related. I picked up these 2 AK's just 6 days before the election. A Lancaster Arms "Russian Red" Model, and a Romanian with black Tapco furniture, and G-2 Trigger Group. The place I bought the Lancaster from had 2 of them in stock, and now I wish I had bought both. Lancaster had a across the board, $100.00 price increase the week after the election.  Bill T.

Nice AK's.
I've never been a really big fan of them, but in this time of the upcoming potential political turmoil, I may have a change of heart.  ;)

Gee ... I was looking for one more reason to go to Arizona this winter, and Bill has solved it with the idea of a fondle session at Bill's house  ;D

I wouldn't mind fondling the Carbon-15 pistol. That's in my top 3 list of pistols to buy next. Can't wait to try my C-Mag in it.

The Bushmaster Carbon 15 Pistol has been a really "fun gun". My wife wanted it, and I was a bit leery. But thus far it has run like a top, and feeds all types of ammo well. I mounted an EO-Tech Holographic sight on it and it's fairly easy to hit pop cans out to 100 yards. It was a little tricky to get it sighted in properly, but once I did it was a fairly easy gun to hit with. It really produces a huge muzzle flash at night with Federal XM-193 Ball Ammo!.   Bill T.
