My Bushmaster - Thoughts?

[dspigs0705]

Hey all,

So I built a Bushmaster XM15 E2S (M4 style).

Includes:
Quad rail
Bipod
UTG laser/flashlight combo w/ pressure switches
Magpul stock and front grip
Burris TAC30 Scope with FastFire III Red Dot (PEPR mounted on a non-removable carry handle)

Thoughts on this build? Going to use mainly for CQB.

Thanks

Hider?

 

[Baystatesuks]

Might rethink that flash hider if you are in MA. Those are too evil for people in MA. Only free-staters can contain the awesomeness that is a chunk of cylindrical metal with a couple of slits.

someone will be long in a moment to say the threads useless without pics haha which i can agree with but sounds nice

 

[dspigs0705]

Hider?

Yea you know, the one that comes welded to the barrel haha

You mean muzzle brake.

 

[atilla]

[dspigs0705]

You mean muzzle brake.

Ah yes muzzle brake. That.

Meh wish I knew

Meh wish I knew

actually it's probably better that you're not in a position where you have to kill people in close quarters.

Any AR build is a good build!

Awesome sir!

It's a Bushmaster. If "CQB" means "i am going to use this someday to defend my life" then i would rethink your choice.

IDK this thing has been very reliable.

Yea I suppose for me CQB and SHTF are synonymous..

As long as you are happy and feel confident that is all that matters. IMO i wouldn't trust it.

You forgot to add, 'avid beagle lover' in your sig.

 

[frenchman]

CQB? Ditch the scope for a faster method of target acquisition, IMO.

 

[warwickben]

Where's the pics ...

 

[hy2rogen]

I am not a fan of the snake, carbon lowers, and media propaganda with the name. But to each his own, I am sure it's a decent build.

Well, my question is this... who's driving? From your pic it looks like the beagle is. I am sure that even here in Needham beagles are not allowed to drive.

A2 Carbine with bipod & magnified glass ? Strip everything you can and buy ammo....
"but thats, like , just my opinion , man."

Everyones gun is a reflection of their thought process , hopefully. I assume you carry 20 round mags if you're using a bipod , or a really tall bipod ? do you have a carry system for 20's , cause most of the industry sells stuff for 30''s ?

Does this close quarter gun have a sling ?

 

[Dressed to Kill]

Then you won't need the bipod.

Beat me to it , a bi-pod on a 16" barrel

I bought my BM XM15 in 2009 stock, have not done anything (meaning upgrades) to it and have at least 10K rounds and probably closer to 15K through it. Aside from changing the wearable parts, I have never had any issues with mine. I changed parts because that's what someone told me to after XX amount of rounds, extractor, bolt assembly, etc. They said I should change the barrel after 6K, but I didn't. I'm not shooting competition or anything, but it fires every time and hits the paper.

Ditch the Scope, leave the red dot, ditch the bipod. Go the SBR route if you want most maneuverability with a carbine, but if not, I'd say cut that barrel down to 14.5 and perm attached a muzzle break with at least a 2.25" OAL for a 16.25" barrel length without having to NFA it.

Yeah. I guess you need to decide what it's meant to do. I put together M&P 15t's for department with magnifier, and bipod, but those are only on it if an officer is assigned to a fixed post for a big event, otherwise they are OFF. If it's your 'CQB' TERIYAKI SHHHHHHHTF BOB TROLOLO gun, I would get a flattop, decent stock, decent light, and decent red dot(If you can't hit center mass at 100 yards with one, get out of gun game), and a Vickers padded sling. I LOVE mine. I am falling out of love with single point slings... and by falling out... I mean I never really was in.

 

[warwickben]

This is what I built for a combat rifle or what ever you wanna call it . Keep it stupid simple. Yeah it's a 16 barrel with a muzzel device but I don't see my self running and gunning . If shtf I can always go grab a hack saw cause at that point Nfa means shit. When I see a deal ill get a red dot or some some thing for it .

My next ar I'm building gonna be a dmr style heavy barrel bipod scope etc.
