Well I went and did something I hope I am not sorry for. Long before the "Anointed One" even thought about throwing his turban into the ring for the Presidency, I started looking at the AR-15. I was not really into buying one as I have an SKS that I dearly love and have been shooting for many years. But I am beginning to believe that if you done own at least one AR-15, you are unAmerican. I walked into my favorite gunshop yesterday, who had been out of any semi-auto rifles for several months now and not able to get any more. As I was walking in they were pulling a Bushmaster Carbine with telescoping stock out of the box. The owner opened it and then opened the case. I asked to see it and pulled the stock out to it's full length. I really like the light weight of the gun so I went ahead an bought it. They cut me a pretty good deal according to what I have seen here on the forum as far as prices go.
My question is did I do right by buying a Bushmaster brand. I notice it has a one (1) year warranty and the other brands, mostly have lifetime warranties. I noticed that the rear sight is all the way to the left, so my question is doe they test fire these at the factory and if so...should I be concerned???
This is only a plinking, fun gun but if I really get to like it it may get much more use.
Anything I should be looking for, that is usually problematic, since it is a Bushmaster brand?
I am new at this and am really asking for some help here. If possible just facts and little or no personal opinions. They tend to get swayed by personal experience with only one gun and never given the chance to try again...you know the "One Bad Apple spoiling the whole bunch" scenario.
