Anybody know what all parts this one has on it? from the Bushmaster web site.

I'm not sure what all parts that is, or if it would be easy enough to put it together myself or if I'll need them to do it for me.

For that configuration it would have to be a pre ban gun or Law Enforcement Only gun. Barrel to buttstock it looks to me like...
1. Phantom Flash Supressor. It looks a tad bit long for a standard Birdcage type. $ 34.95
2. M4 Profile Barrel
3. Bushmaster Modular Accessories System 3 Rail Gas Block .$52.95
4. Bushmaster Modular Accessories System Detachable Front Flip Sight. $ 72.95
5. B.M.A.S. 4 Rail Carbine Floater Forearm. $ 199.95
6. Rail "Sure-Grips". $ 3.00 Each
7. Streamlight M-6 Tactical Illuminator. $ 415.00
8. Flat top reciever. May or may not have M4 feedramp cuts.
9. EOTech Model 552 HDS Sight.$ 389.95
10. Bushmaster Modular Accessories System Rear Flip-up Sight.$ 75.00
11. Standard A2 pistol grip.
12. Fiberite Six Position Telescoping Stock Assembly.
Prices listed above are from the Bushmaster website.
You could build the same setup in a post ban version by replacing the 6 pos collapsible stock with different non collapsing stock and either leaving the muzzle bare (without threads) or permanently attatching a muzzle brake.
I'm going to assume that you aren't LE, so figure $800 for a basic post ban rifle before the extras listed, or $1400 plus for a pre ban before extras.
As for building something like that, have them install the BMAS free floating handguard and three rail gas block. The rest you can easily do yourself. The cost of the rifle itself really isn't that much. The extra toys are what cost you.
Good Shooting

looks like a standard birdcage supressor on a 16 inch M4 profile,I think its their LEO carbine.I called bushmaster they dont do the feed ramp cuts,But you could get the barrel extension from colt and have a smith modify the upper where the cuts also go into the bottom of the upper below the extension.

On colt rifles the bottom 2 ramps of the barrel extension are cut steeper to aid in feeding,My carbines work fine but I guess its a fix for some rifles that dont work well or have these feeding problems.People with under 14.5 inch barrels usualy have it done becuse lower velocity in the small barrels can cusae short stroking and the feed ramps I guess will make it run smoother.I always figured it was a way for colt to make their rifles unique,but some swear by the modification,ive never had malfunctions in my bushmasters that couldnt be traced back to a bad mag,when the ramps are cut they extend into the bottom of the upper receiver,and that I dont like.when the military starts doing it to the fullsize rifles to maybe Ill do it.

In this pic you can see what the feedramp cuts look like. Sorry about the amateur quality. :D

This is on a factory built Armalite M15A4 24" SS barelled upper. I believe DPMS also offers M4 type ramps in some models, but I'm not 100 percent positive.
M4 type ramps may offer some extra reliability where you may have an occurance of mag/ ammo tilt. Any extra measure to assure reliability is worth it to me.

Photo quality. :D
The feedramp cuts were done at the Armalite factory when they built the upper.
