I own one and will never get rid of it. There worth every penny I payed for it. Only difference is I have the a2 not the a3. On the a2 the carry handle is part of the upper receiver. The a3 is detachable. Great gun.

I have several varients of Bushmaster AR rifles and completely agree. I used the Colts and actually prefer the Bushmaster, great accurate rifles.

I totally agree the bushmaster is just as good and some cases better then colt I have had both but now will only buy bushmaster.

I really like the A3 much more versatile asfar as sight options go, my next project is getting a A3 and putting a full length Pictinny rail that extends out onto the forearm take off the front iron sight and put a forward mounted trijicon reflex sight. I will also have a flip up front sight and a flip up rear aperture for back up sights.

It is a military rifle. Put on some camo, paint your face, put on the billy suit and shoot the gun.

I own both Bushmaster and Colt AR's and the Bushmasters are excellent weapons. You won't be disappointed.

Not sure if it was a mistake or not, but it is called a gilly suite. The AR is technically not a military weapon, there are differances. Many AR's are among some of the most accurate match rifles in the world, it is very common to see them being used as a varmit rifle, nothing wrong with that.

I was just kidding. I have a bush master AR too.

I always thought they were called billy suites. So I guess my b.s. taught be something. Who would have thought.

No big deal, wasn't sure if you made a type error or not. Just hate to see incorrect information passed along to the youngsters reading out there.
