Not really a review but more of an overview of this AR-15. I remember when I first shot this rifle I thought it was so cool. Now, I think it is kinda basic. Still, great quality and performs well.

My Bushmasters gas system isn't operating correctly. When it's fired it doesn't rechamber the second round. Any help?
That AR is OK but your sister is hot.
This is an older original Bushmaster from Windham. Excellent Quality! Worth all your penny my friend.
Just change the handguard
Got a Bushmaster XM15 A2 E2S 20" HBAR here in Florida for $550 yesterday…and will never sell it or look back with any regret again 😊
I got mine at academy for $650. Very good AR,Bushmaster.
Bought it this morning. $599. With Red Dot. 1 -30 round magazine. Also $150 rebate from Bushmaster. I bought mine from Academy Sports. Thanks
Got one for 375 at local gunshop with a Bushnell MP 1x. Used but the store owner is trustworthy and said he bought them from a friend of his.
Now they're selling for $499 with red dot. Thank YOU Trump!
m&p sport 2 or the qrc?
I don't understand why there is no front sight.
I do believe that .223 and 5.56 is the same thing but it is two different measurement!
Centerpoint=shit
Bought this (with red dot sight) 2 weeks ago for $650. And in California.
Bought my Sig Sauer M400 a month ago. 1700 euro.
Got to move to the USA 🙂
Is this Bushmaster among the high end or the low end of the AR rifles?
People are getting burned on AR15s. I see it everyday. I managed to assemble a nice rifle with multiple upgrades for less than $700. I have an Anderson lower with nickel boron hammer and trigger. The upper is a Bear Creek Arsenal chambered in .223 Wylde which is built for accommodating both .223 and 5.56, more accurately. The .223 Wylde chambering is popular with match shooters. The upper came with a full M16 bolt, chrome lined. I have upgraded to an Aimpoint quad rail in field dark earth, a Grip Pod System vertical grip/bipod, a Fab Defense butt stock with a built in magwell, also in Field dark earth, an Ergo pistol grip in field dark earth, a Seekins aluminum trigger guard, a 3/6 UTG rear sight, and a rear QD sling swivel. I cringe when I see people bragging about their basic AR15 they got for $600 to $700. A friend of mine just bought an M&P15 for $739.00 out the door, and the foreward stock is all cheap plastic with no aluminum heat shield. The hammer was recessed on both sides to cut weight, and the trigger guard was part of the lower, so no chance for an upgraded trigger guard. After finishing this rifle, I built one for my wife for less than $600, only hers has fewer upgrades.
shoots a little hard for me, i like the mmr its a little more though
is this reliable and easy to shoot, it felt like the mmr was easier and how much is it to change them hanguards and throw a grip on it? if it shoots as nice as the mmr i might get it
I was bamboozled cuz mine didn't come with a case brand new. Of course I didn't pay a grand for it either.
i can get this with red dot for 489.99 after instore rebate 556.81 before rebate
800? I paid 645 for mine brand new
I want to replace the plain handguard do you know what magpul one will swap over? a OD green one could you link or send me a Model number?
for a second I thought you had an ACOG on it.
is it possible to be shipped here in Philippines if i buy one online?
Thankyou. Today is NOV 19, 2015.. I can buy a Bushmaster OFC 16 M4 with chrome lined barrel for $550 after rebate. Is this a good deal ? I was looking at the Ruger 556 for $700.. Please help . Sale is on. Thanks 🙂
$2500 american in my country.
$499 last August.
would you be able to mount a bipod on the rifle as is?
Is this rifle part of the xm 15 models? Just curious if it could be CA compliant with a bullet button and 10 rnd mag. All bushmaster xm rifles are banned in cali
378 slick guns
Thanks for the review. I bought almost the exact same rifle a year or so ago for about 700, but mine is supposed to be even lighter. The only difference I see is the barrel, It looks thinner. I am glad you had a lot of positive input. Many have told me I made a mistake by choosing a Bushmaster, but I think it works pretty well. My biggest issue, as I have stated in other feeds, is with Tapco magazines. They just do not seem to get along with my carbon fiber receiver. Even Tapco admits their mags do not always work well in Carbon-15s and offered to swap them out for metal ones. My rifle does work fine with Magpuls, battered Viet Nam era mags I rebuilt with Brownell repair kits and even Promags. I hope you continue to have good luck with your rifle….thanks again
Not pricey any more. 469.00, with 50.00 rebate.
Nice video, pretty much you covered all the features of this masterpiece.
1 question though, this rifle can only take .223 only right? Can it take 5.56 or I have to swap to a different upper receiver to be able to use 5.56 ?
And I just put this rifle on Lawaway today at the gun store close to my house for $749 with tax.
I mean It's a really good deal for a bushmaster ar 15.
Just bought one yesterday.
549 at my local gun store right now 😀
i know where i'm going in the morning!
I got my bushmaster at adventure outdoors in Smyrna Ga. It came with a 30 round mag and a red dot sight for 589 with ammo and tax came out to 660.
Nice, I just bought a bushmaster for $700 I'm not entirely sure what model though, but it's really nice 🙂
just bought my bushmaster.thanks for the video
For all You idiots!!! BUSHMASTER IS A venomous pitvipers found in forested areas of Central and South America.
were you having trouble installing the sight risers ?? ive tried to put them on many times but no matter how tight I tighten them they still wiggle back and forth… 🙁
Just a bit of advice… Buy yourself a decent or better optic.. Nice review though but don't ever buy a cheap sight. You will find yourself spending double or triple the money on cheap optics instead of getting a better one to start. And .223 and 5.56 are similar but can not be shot through the same barrel unless it says 5.56 then .223…. Not .223 then 5.56… Or it had to be a wylde barrel
I think everyone below is thinking of the Carbon 15, its similar but its cheaper than the ORC
academy also has another bushmaster similar to this for about 650.00
academy has this model for 759.00
