My nephew bought a Bushmaster AR15 for 469. He bought it over on Thanksgiving for me to inspect and lubricate for him. I broke it down all the way and looked it over thoroughly and it wasn't that bad of a rifle. I wouldn't exactly call it trash. Was it a high dollar piece of jewelry? No but I don't know if I would call it out right trash and this is coming from a guy that considers a decent build in the 12 to 14 hundred dollar range. A barrel swap, a trigger and a few other upgrades and it would be a damn good rifle. With guns like this out for all to buy at a steal of a price then the high dollar AR makers are going to have a hard time of it in the coming months. The fit and finish of his gun was good, not junky like you would think. You could spend a couple hundred bucks on his rifle and make it a good long lasting machine. I own a very old Bushmaster and it wasn't as good of a fit and finish as mine was but it was close. It wasn't the rattling piece of sh*t I thought it would be and that's a fact.
