If it's made in Windham, ME it's a good one. From what you say I doubt the barrel is freefloating; don't know of anything by Magpul that is. AGT trigger is probably a cleaned up mil-spec unit. These pre-Freedom group Bushmasters are solid but in today's market not worth more than $500 IMHO. Also keep in mind they come with a commercial-spec buffer tube, stock, and front sight base along with carry handle. Front sight base is "non F-marked" and carry handle is sized accordingly.
Bushmaster DID go downhill. They used to be great. I have an old one that's a tack driver. I bought 2 at the same time and sent one in because it wasn't right. They sent it back claiming it was good. I was prone at 30ft and it was all over the place. 4 of 12 shots key holed. Called BM and they told me it would be 6-9 months before i could get parts. HORR customer service. You either get a good one or a boat anchor. Go with windham wraponry who is the original BM.
