    Default Ban era bushmaster

    All,
    I think I recall someone in the Springs area replacing the nuttered front sight and adding flash hider.
    Does anyone recall who and if they are still doing this? I almost think it was Hickman.

    Thanks ,

    Bob

    I would imagine nearly any local gunsmith should be able to do that.

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    I would start with Henry at Colorado Arms Repair. He's a good guy and I use him for things I am not comfortable or able to do myself.

    You can probably buy a replacement barrel with FSB already on it for less than a smith would charge to do that. Parts seem pretty cheap right now. Hell...you can probably get a complete upper minus BCG and CH for the same price...

    This is very likely the correct answer.

    Thank you all, yes thinking and new barrel

    The truth I did get a new 20" upper for the rifle, but that turned into a new rifle by the time I was done. lol
