I have one, a Daniel Defense m4 with magpul grip and a comp that i added after i took off my flsh hider.I use mine for hunting a little but mostly for personal protection because im in the process of going int olaw enforcement.I would never trust my life on a Bushmaster or a DPMS.ALfter you hold a good quality AR and take it down and check out all the stamping of the bolt carrier and stuff you would see the difference very quickly.Bushmaster arnt stamped nearly as good as a defense ar.I wouldnt hesitate to buy a bushy for hunting only tho!good luck and enjoy your new AR!
