Gunsmithing Bushmaster: kinda funny, mostly sad.

[TresMon]

A gun store owner asked me to stop by.

"Nobody can figure out why the BCG will not close in this AR."

I stopped by.

NIB Bushy AR has a Mid length gas tube installed in the gas block which is at the carbine position....

Dang so obviously no test fire or even function check ?

 

[Badfinger]

How could you not see that???????

 

[TresMon]

Yeah. Somebody put it in the box at the factory and the BCG would not even go all the way into the upper!

 

[packratt]

The gun store is just as sorry as Bushmaster in this instance

Sounds about like the firearms manufacturer that likes to charge 3K for a rifle but doesn't pin or stake anything. Fancy finishes though.

You should expect things like that from 3rd-4th tier manufacturers. Good news is Remington is circling the drain and will take Bushmaster down the toilet with them.
