Bushmaster AR15 rifle worth it?

[NWSharpshooter]

Old bushmasters are great rifles. New freedom group bushmasters are junk. Neither are on par with modern colt.

Thanks, I have heard that since they bought bushmaster they have been awful. I own a newer and it's been great.

I have a Bushmaster Carbon 15 and have had no issues with it. I have fired steel and brass cased ammo with ease. I think it was a heck of an investment.

I bought it new about 8 months ago.

I have a carbon 15 and it's great for plinking. Only thing is it feels like a cheap plastic toy gun you buy from toys r us. But as far as functioning goes I've never had a single problem with it or hiccup. Well worth the $600 I paid for it in my opinion

Yeah I want another one. I don't know if the colt is worth $1300 right now.

I am a fan of S&W MP, I have owned one for years and never had a jam with the few steel rnds I have shot through it or brass and thats several 1000's of rnds.

I have owned a BM (Older model) and never had an issue with it but I didn't shoot it that much. The fit and finish was great though.

I am liking the PSA AR right now and hope to get a mid length AR from them soon.

Neither are on par with Colt though.....
