  1. Tremendous rifle, but sure would like it if you could get it with a 1:8 twist barrel, or even a 1:7 instead of the 1:9 OEM. If you do service rifle competition, having the ability to shoot heavier (70 grains +) projectiles is nice for the 600-yard stage.

  2. What do you think about the Carbon 15? I bought them for my kids, but the screw that held the rail on was stripped when I bought it. I ended up using epoxy to seal it in place. That's the only fault I had with them.

  3. Why can't I find a bushmaster A to 20" H-bar Bushmaster ? What is so hard I cannot find one anywhere gives me please let me know the difference between that and the 1I see if they're the only difference I can see is it has a removeable carrying handle is there anything else different between the both of those guns

  4. I just purchased a Bushmaster AR15A2 20 inch HBAR rifle with factory USGI stock and a collapsible stock thrown in for $550 off Gunbroker.com
    I'm the 2nd owner, bought the rifle from the original owner-great video post, new subscriber 😊🇺🇸

  5. Thanks for the review, The current thing with AR-15's are all the stupid accessories to make it look like you're some sort of SWAT team member. I find it completely tacky and I find it refreshing that someone other than Colt makes a standard AR-15 with A2/A3 type carrying handle and 20" barrel. I have never owned an AR-15 but I'm sold on this model.
    Thanks got keeping the review straight to the point.

  6. Fyi – Sportsman Outdoor Superstore has two different configurations of this rifle (Police Trade-In) on sale. One with fixed carry handle, one with removable carry handle, the latter is marked "Law Enforcement / Government Use Only". We've ordered one last batch they had and the rifle besides finish wear looked as though all the internals had been replaced. I've put 1,000 rounds through it with out a single hiccup.

  7. My all-time favorite M16A2 platform. Love the fixed carry handle and fixed sights. I trained myself to shoot well with iron sights. Love the fixed stock and shoot well with the stock tuck under my arm for close quarter point and shoot. Fixed stock length for consistent shouldering. Love the 20inch barrel for maximum velocity. I have not acquired my first AR15 yet (tight budget, family first), and if I do it will be this Bushmaster XM15 E2S. Thanks for a great review.God Bless.

  8. I have one of these rifles but I've not found one like mine on Youtube. It was made in Windham and the barrels a 20in HBAR 1/9 twist but it isn't threaded for a muzzle brake. Is mine a target variant or something?

  9. The Bushmaster XM15-E2S receiver can be anything,I bought a stripped XM15-E2S receiver awhile back,to make into a stock A3 carbine. I have a stock AR-15 A2 HB,with round hand guards,20 inch barrel,fixed carry handle and A2 front sight,which I love,. Bought the complete kit from Blackthorne,and a hard won Charles Daly lower receiver during the Obama 2009 panic. It's the rifle that won Granada,and the AR I cut my teeth on. Sure,I've got several tacticool AR's,but this A2 is my first love.

  10. Thanks for the review. I love my Bushmaster. Great rifle, and yeah I totally agree about the trigger. Very small reset on it and nice n crisp.

    I've never owned an AR15 before, so like most anything important that I buy, I spend some time researching and asking friends with experience their opinions.

    Everyone I talked to all had great things to say about the Bushmaster line.

    I bought a carbine length with red dot sights to set up as a mainly home defense weapon. The only customising I'll be doing is replacing the factory handguard with a UTG slimline 7" so I can add a flashlight and an angled foregrip. And yeah I guess I'll upgrade the current red dot optics with perhaps something from vortex down the road.

    Thanks again for the review. Love your channel. Please keep my family in your prayers. I'll do the same.

  11. AR-15 is so popular for a reason, they rock! The US Government has considered finding a new rifle at least a couple times since the m16 came into the picture and after testing all other available rifles in the current market the AR-15 continued to be the best option. It's going to be VERY tough to beat.
