I've got one and she is a sweet rifle.After the ban ended,I sent the barrel off to Adco and had it threaded for a flash suppressor.Wouldn't change anything else about her.

I assume "post ban" means it was made in the nineties when the ban was in effect? If so, Bushmaster was still decent then. If, however, it is a new production rifle, you can get better quality for the same money elsewhere. Bushmaster has had issues with QC lately.

stamped made in windham and has no flash suppressor

was it expensive to have the barrel threaded

I just my sold my upper about 1 month ago. I was the A2 20" HB match upper. It was very well made. The only draw back is some guys don't like the un-shrouded bolt carrier. I never saw a problem with that.

I've had a bunch of barrels threaded for cans and it generally runs around $70. My guy also gives me a thread protector for when the can isn't on the gun. With the protector on you can't even tell that I had it threaded, it blends perfectly with the barrel.

I have a Windham made Bushmaster, Its accuracy is unbelievable I wouldn't trade it for anything. It has never jammed or FTF or FTE, They can say what they want but those older Bushmasters are awesome rifles.
