shonuff,
I have heard that the armalite is a very good ar-15 nothing negative, I myself own the Bushmaster Ar-15 a3 (removable handle) in the Realtree Camo pattern, I can tell you it is a very awesome gun, It cost around $800, i think the armalite was more when i was shopping around. I dont think you can go wrong with either one, but i can say I love my bushmaster!!!!!!
