Bushmaster Reborn

[Mtn.man]

Today it was announced that Bushmaster founder Richard Dyke has formed a new company called Windham Weaponry. The new company has purchased Bushmaster's former manufacturing plant in Windham, Maine and will employ nearly half of Bushmaster's laid-off employees. The company plans to ship its first rifles in September.

does that mean my bushmaster is now a collector's item?

Hopefully they bring back the quality that Bushmaster used to have.

My thoughts exactly.

hopefully bring back the original one of these, not the clunky abortion BM passed off later on

Bumping this as I saw one at Walmart this weekend. Almost picked it up, but didn't know about windham. Anyone have first hand experience with them? My bushy has been flawless, never had issues while my friends RRA has feed problems.

They're being made at the same plant as pre-buyout Bushmaster, by many of the same people. I'd have more confidence in the Maine product, than in the stuff being made in Ilion, NY.

My thoughts exactly, especially after having had one of the NY items. Total POS.
