redhead I think he is talking about getting an m203 look alike flair launcher, not the real thing.Ive seen them at gun shows. Im not sure what type of flairs it shoots but I do know that they make them.

Ok thanks I might try that buying it by parts. Just need to find a parts list for that model of bushmaster. As to the m203, I figure it will come in handy when im sleeping beside my bushmaster in the tent and I hear something outside at night. Then with that one thing in hand I can shoot off a flare and look around the camp site. Plus I'll have a flashlight attached to it. No bears gonna catch me off guard lol.

I purchased a Bushmaster complete lower receiver minus the buttstock from eaglefirearms.net for $209, and that included shipping. I'm not sure if they offer it anymore though. To be honest, the lower receiver doesn't matter as much as far as the company you buy it from. You can get a very high quality lower made by Stag Arms from eaglefirearms for around $140. And even if you want an all Bushmaster gun, check out Bushmaster's website. If you buy the upper and lower seperately, it's about $200 cheaper, and it's the exact same gun. But by the time you have them shipped, and then pay the FFL transfer, the price difference is negated. A great place to look for good AR deals is the AR15.com equipment exchange. Good luck

Ya it seems easier when they seperate it into 4 or 5 parts. I was trying to look up prices for every little thing like firing pin ect..
I'll try there the site looks good so far. Your right about the quality being about the same. There cant be that big of a difference. I just basically want the outside looking cool. As accurate a rifle I can get in that type. A popular caliber, I think .223 will be good. But I still want to be able to fit a m203 to it. Ive been told I can get the real one in Canada withought a special license.
Then I want to be able to put good sights on it later and other add ons like laser scope a flash light front collapsable grip, Shell catcher and a bipod. Maybe a tactical beer hat as well lol. I geuss this is where they make the real money, accesorizing. Thanks again.
