I bought a Bushmaster about a year ago. Since then I have done numerous modifications to it, such as a rail, red dot sight, new grips, etc. The next M4/AR-15 will be one I build myself. No problems with the Bushmaster, in fact it's a remarkable rifle. Just need the satisfaction of doing it myself from top to bottom.

Spike's tactical my choice.
Got most of it, free shipping from Aimsurplus.com:
Our Catalog

The spider mark looks very sharp to me, besides the quality and price.
Aimssurplus.com has very good service.
Let me know if you want more specifics.

LWRC. A3
A2-S
Pay more,actually about twice as much as a mid shelf brand but keep it for 20000 rds if you treat it wright. No chrome. Nicorr hard parts treatment is amazing. Plus it eats everything and stays extrordinarily clean and is as accurate as "any" DI gun.
You don't need to spend 2200. Or 2300. They start at 1399.
I'm not informing, just stating.

I'm a LWRC owner. It was actually my first POF. It's a great rifle but I wouldn't do it again. DIs are great, weigh less, and are easier to find replacement parts for. LWRCs have lots of proprietary parts. Best of all you can find a high quality DI AR for under $1K.

I was kinda in the same boat but I ended up at a gun show an just decided to start building my own. I went an got a dpms lower from one table a dpms parts kit at another an shopped around for other parts. Now I just ordered a new cmmg 24 inch upper that I'm waiting on an will end up taking the left over parts an start my next one.

I have a Bushmaster and a RRA. Haven't had any issues with either rifle. If I get another AR I'll go the build your own route.

Back in the day, it was important to know your ABC's.

A = ArmaLite
B = Bushmaster
C = Colt

There just happen to be more options now, but the above are still relevant.

I'm an ArmaLite guy when it comes to AR's so...
