First time I have saw this in a while.

I dunno, a local gun store had 11 of varying flavors in stock and said they weren't moving.

Interesting that the Bushies were listed for about the same price as Walmart's Colt 6920's at $1050!

Bushmasters have always been slightly more pricey than other brands. They're good quality though and have built a reputation I guess. If I recall correctly the Bushmasters I saw at Wally World were in the mid $900's. I'd take a Bushie over a Colt any day, unless I was planning to resell someday, which is something I never plan to do.

There were two DPMS That went through the same Walmart yesterday. Sport models. They are starting to show back up a few at a time. Ammo is not I did pick up a 100 45acp winchester white box but with tax it was right at $45 don't remember them being that high.

the winchester is usually that much...39.98 or something for the 100rnd box...the federal is what is cheaper when they have it in and even before the craze it was hard to come buy...it was 29.97 for 100rnd box

Bushmaster over a colt? Based on what reasoning?

Based on the quality being just as good or better for less money.

Without getting into detailed specs I'd highly disagree. I'm sure most of them function fine but I don't think you're getting the same or something better.

I've been issued Colt M16's and M4s since the 90's; I am looking at my Colt right now, and I have yet to see anything higher in quality than Bushmaster or RRA. In fact, the finish on these gov't issue Colts suck compared to any of the Bushmasters I've handled. From what I can tell, the only thing I'm getting extra with a Colt is a little horsie stamped on the receiver.

I don't want to get into a pissing contest over technical features. We've all seen "the chart" it's up to the user/buyer to decide whether these specs are important. I happen to think they are. Will i shoot enough or under enough stress to see if these specs make a difference? I hope not.
