Bushmaster XM15 M4 style rifle

whats the difference between mx15 and m4?

Thanks for the video. I'm interested in it being my first AR also

To me, iron sights make more sense on a rifle than a red dot, and a red dot makes more sense on a defensive shotgun than iron or bead sights.

I bought my xm-15 in 2004, it has the 5 1/2" flash hider which is hard to find now. I've shot over 2,000 rnds since I bought it and have never had any issues with it. A great rifle all around.

A Wilson prescribed perfect rifle. A1 carry handle A2 aperture and front sight 16 inch barrels A2 flash . This I remember from AR15.com article.

What happens if you pull a bush master up to your chin and pull the trigger? https://videos.deathaddict.com/2017/02/9928_daniel-victor-jones-se-…erestatal-de-los-angeles.png

I have the same rifle marked BFI so its an in house made rifle from 2003 when they were still in Windham Maine great rifle.

Is this a fully automatic version? How can it fire that rapidly?

Skip to 3.30 for shooting scene.
0.00 to 3.30 is talking part

3.30 shooting start

i love this look on the AR-15s-classic

this gun was used in the Sandy Hook school shooting

Great video John. I love the classic look of these. I am at a toss up between the Bushmaster or Olympic Arms M4 configuration. Tough choice.

Hickok45andson,
Don't mind the haters who are hating on you. You're doing very well my friend. Keep up the good work. Their envy and jealousy is driven by "like a father like a son" you got going on.

I really like this style. I see a Bushmaster 90216 that's just like this riffle. Do you know about the quality of the Bushmaster 90216? Thanks.

DC Sniper used this

his dad is much better at shooting. like if you agree lol

my brother's colt sp1 was made in '68

First AR I bought in 1988 looked just like this, only it was a Colt with a fixed stock and 20 in barrel. Nice clean simple-yet-badass look!

SANDY HOOK FLASHBACKS INTENSIFY

how tall are you and your father? you both seem pretty tall. about 6'6"?

I'm really torn between getting a bushmaster or a M&P 15.

WOW ! YOU'RE EVEN CUTER & MORE STYLISH THAN YOUR OLD MAN.

Great video m8

same thing with me all red dots are fuzzy and not a solid dot. I like running 4x scope I prefer a crosshair to a dot

cuz of you im purchasing one next week thanks 4 the video loved it !

Every collection should have the old school m4 style AR 15 ..

I just got one today – not even fired it yet. There are several interesting details that I observed about the Bushmaster XM 15 E2. Firstly, as a model name, it is pretty vague, as you will see multiple different configurations built over the years under this name. My theory – smart way to use up old parts bins and produce a budget model that reflects trends current at the time. How I came to buy this was I wanted a M4gery that I could mount a bayonet on. There are some out there that have a 14.5" barrel, with the muzzle device pinned and welded on, and that makes it to legal 16" length. You need a flash hider that's a little longer than the standard A2. On the model that you and I have , Bushmaster did this by using a Yankee Hill Machine Co. Phantom flash-hider, which is about 3/8" longer than the A2 and an excellent flash-hider too. So besides being true to the M4 barrel length, you can rock a bayo, just for grins. You can't do that with the 16" barrel length that is so common for the civilian M4 copies.
Here we are in 2016 and there must be significant demand from consumers for models that reflect what the military is using, or as close as legally possible. We are seeing major names such as FNH, Colt and Troy introducing such models. Also there are enthusiasts building their own and it can cost a lot more than a build primarily aimed at economy.
Back to this model (and I would love to know when they built it – probably the advent of the Phantom flash hider would give the best clue.) This model has an A1 upper and an A2 lower. Parts bins again, but I love this combo. The A1 upper is the lightest and simplest of them all. The rear sight adjustment is simple, light and rugged and can't get knocked out of adjustment. The carry handle is a real carry handle. I tried the detachable one for the A3 upper but there is less space and my knuckles get pinched.
Mine had an A2 buttstock on it but I have a collapsable stock I can put on it – coincidentally from a Bushmaster – even though I haven't owned one before
That brings me to another cool thing about my local gun shop find – I live in Maine and this is an original Bushmaster, made in Maine. The folks that used to make these, are carrying on under the trademark of Windham Weaponry and they produce a fine AR. However, I love that Bushmaster logo with the coiled snake – always brings to mind the "don't tread on me" mind-set.
Keep on making your great vids, both Hickok 45 and son.
Yrs, Chris F.

Great video. Yeah, I want one of those Bushmaster rifles but I just want the standard version too. Only thing I would put on the rifle is the bayonet. I wouldn't need any tactical equipment like a scope or laser or flashlight. Just the gun with the iron sights is fine for me. I asked Hickok45 what brand of M-4 he was using in the double barrel shotgun vs. AR-15 video. But this is the brand that I will most likely purchase. Thanks for the info.

is this an m4 or an m16 copy?

The ar15 design is almost 60 years old……

now i really feel old…i think of triangular handguards, pencil barrels slab side sp1's as classics

oh yeah.. anyone can shoot with optics. if you can hit something at 100 yards with iron sights.. that's a marksman

I bought one of these 2 years ago. one of the finest shooting weapons I've ever fired. super accurate and very sexy rifle!

There's too many dumbass negative comments for such awesome videos you guys make! keep up the good work!

I really like this gun. I would like to own one of these in this style

Awesome! A Sandy HOAX Special 😉 LMAO!

It is an interesting video John. I only have one AR rifle, mine is a Norinco CQ-A, and i bought this 'used`.) which looks very similar to the one you have there. ( yes guys, it IS a Chinese AR, but it works )
I`m not a big fan of AR`s , but I do like watching other`s with their`s. My preferred rifles are the military surplus rifles and somewhat `standard` variety of bolt action styles.
Thanks for this.

I stumbled on the same gun in my local gun shop last year. I went in for a brick of .22 and walked out with the brick AND an M4 for $550 out the door! A classic example of less being more. And what fun with my Ciener .22 conversion kit. Truly a sweet little piece.

M4 was released in 1994. Not too old, but it's weird to think our guns have kind of slowed technology wise.

i love thereliability of s8nplicity. just enough to be effective

That style AR is like having a fiberglass 32 ford coupe. Let freedom fly! 🙂

that's a pretty little finger you got there. not bad

I hear nothing bad at all about these.for 550 brand new here I must get one

Your son is way better at talking than shooting do yourself a favor and send him to law school .

How big of a collection to you have? I would pay to meet you and your father for a day at the range, haha! Take care
