Armalite Mod 1???

In 07 or 08 Bushmaster was acquired by Cerebus Holdings. Since then QC has slipped. When I worked at the shop late model Bushys were one of the most frequently brought in with issues.
Stupid stuff like loose pistol grips, 2 gas rings instead of 3, missing buffer detents, missing safety detents, weak staking of the gas key causing it to loosen, loose buffer tubes and such.
Just poor quality control.
Bushmaster is actually shutting down operations and moving to one of the Carolinas IIRC.
Too bad, they were great rifles.


My Colts have been flawless as well.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. SO no real major issue just one of those things that if you do buy one look it over real good.

Thanks Bert

In 09 I picked up a NIB 20" A3 (flat top) and put a rail, Eotech, PRS stock and a couple goodies before I even shot it. Took it to the hills and no matter what I did it would not cycle. Checked all the usual suspects such as gas leakage, FSB alignment etc. I could find no deficiencies. Again it would not cycle, just a single shot rifle. I sent it back to Bushmaster and they sent it back after a month and a half.
Took it back up to the hills and same crap.
I dumped it at Gander Mountain and even made a bit of a profit. Pretty much turned me off of new Bushies.
