bushmasters have a pretty good plinking reputation. I'm sure you'll love it. now I just have to get off my ass and start piecing together mine.

how much of it do you have and what configuration

i was doing some research on they and supposedly the stag arms guns have a cleaner operation than the bushmaster which would require less cleaning and most likely more longevity in the long run

I don't actually have any of the parts yet, but it will most likely be set up like martins except no carry handle.

ETA: I vote for CMMG. that's what I'll be going with anyway.

an ar15 op system is liek anyother its a rotating locking bolt unless you get a piston upper. alot of the dirtiness has to deal with the ammo. everyone shoots wolf and its dirty as ****. stag is probably the best bang for the buck out there, if you build one yourself you will save 100-200 easily on it

on this topic i have Rifle qualification this weekend. shooting for expert again. gotta beat my bootcamp record of 220. i should do better. i think we are all qualifying with the M4s though...which sucks because i got a new m16 recently issued to me and I have it all nice and zeroed perfectly.

and im pretty sure military issued ammo is dirty to no? its all mass produced junk. cleaning weapons is consistent no matter what.

yea just clean it after you shoot it and youll be fine, thats normal good practice so it doesnt gum up, etc. i hate peopl ethat dont clean their guns
