Ouch!Somebody actually bought one?
Ouch!Somebody actually bought one?
The first question that comes to mind would be...has anyone on here experienced this problem personally or saw it happen?
Not any third party stories either.
With a name like "HKGuns," you should be the last person to make fun of people for buying overpriced, overhyped guns.HKGuns said:Somebody actually bought one?
Bushmaster is recalling the ACR due to a design flaw that can cause the rifle to malfunction and fire off the entire magazine at once.
Depends on where you shop.Only $100 more than a SCAR and well worth it, haters.
It's not that Bushmasters are all that bad, I owned a Bushy for a couple years and never had any real problems with it. One thing Bushmaster does a good job with is their barrels. However I didn't put a lot of rounds through it and that's probably why I never had any problems with it.Not as clear a logical connection there as you might think----I'm afraid there's a bit of anti-Bushmaster bias showing.
I've been off buying Sniders and Martinis and Webleys for a few years, so I don't have much background in the black rifle thing and I don't know why all you guys hate Bushmaster.
Did they used to eat babys or something?
I don't know what kind of person would buy a Bushmaster product over an FN product.
It boggles the mind.
The magpul rifle is legit. But the current manufacturer isn't.
A person who:
1.Thought the "Tuna", aka FS 2000, was a crime against nature.
2.Owned four FN 49 rifles with double shouldered chambers----a cheap, ugly patch done by FN to cure feeding problems and move product.
3.Bought FN .45ACP with the Berdan flash holes occluded by the punch-outs. Stripping eight rounds and removing the puch-outs stopped the misfires and hangfires-----but there were 1200 rounds in that case.
4.Doesn't like reciprocating cocking handles---a step backward for FN, don't you think?
5.Doesn't like the Euro pencil barrel---especially after the SIG556 experience.
6.Has fired both the SCAR and the ACR and judges a rifle on it's merits, as perceived personally, not on it's brand name.
I could go on, in fact I have gone on, haven't I?
FN isn't staffed, or owned by people who love you, it's a giant corporation that has had some quality control issues of it's own.
