Peregrino- Thanks for all the intel, I appreciate it. I'm still not 100% on buying complete or building it. I'll have to check out the show on the 7-8 being that I'll be around. I'm getting the eyes zapped on the 28th so why not go buy new guns while blind and medicated right?  Thanks again for everyones input.

AP - This is very good advice. If you don't know and trust the source and get a no-questions asked guarantee, don't buy it. Despite its modularity the AR's are not something shade tree mechanics always do well. Even the pro's occasionally screw the pooch - evidence my problems with the Bushmaster upper. The problems can usually be traced to "tolerance stacking" or poor QA on the assembly line. Both of which are impossible to identify until you take it to the range and start shooting it. That's when trust and warranty come into the picture. Good luck however you go. Peregrino

I don't think your Nanny State would approve of you owning such a dangerous weapon.

That's probably why it's still NIB. Reminds me of an anecdote I heard years ago about flowerbeds in former Soviet "provinces". Only place in the world where the daisys are watered with 30 weight motor oil to keep the AK's buried there from rusting.  Peregrino

Here ya go.
Not the ideal tactical carbine I know, but has been good for range time and working on fundamentals.
Next I'll look for a 16 inch but that will be farther down the road-

I won a Cavalry Arms CAV15 Scout rifle in a raffle on another board (haven't gotten it yet  ) which I have a buyer lined up to fund the rebuilding of my Bushmaster.
I've got an EGW A3 upper, DPMS M4-profile 16" barrel, Yankee Hill Machine Vortex 5C1 flash suppressor, YHM Lightweight Specter quad-rail forearm and Specter gas block, and a Magpul M93B stock. I picked up a Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T scope to top it off with.
I'm keeping the Bushie lower, as I already have it setup with a JP competition trigger.

The Magpul is okay, I like the Crane SOPMOD stock better.
YHM guys are very nice.

I've been toying with the idea of using the M16 Clinic's pigtail gas tube because of the shorter gas system with the carbine-length barrel. Is this a good idea?

Not if it runs well without it.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

So why don't you shoot it? Are you starting a museum or something?
