Old-fashioned Patrol rifle quality rebranded as the QRC BFSIII, which is a AR15 / M4 Carbine rifle with an M4 flat-top receiver, carbine handguards and a 16" barrel with a shaved-down front sight base as a low profile gas block. The QRC BFSIII features the binary trigger from Franklin Armory, which provides three position semi-automatic shooting. The trigger itself makes this production rifle an upgrade over standard patrol rifles, which Bushmaster has been famous for with law enforcement and civilian shooters for decades.
Bushmaster was one of the early AR-15 pioneers, and made its mark over time by delivering a solid rifle at a budget price point. Bushy's have always been built solid, but have mostly avoided some of the frills that other brands have had, and probably you would not buy a Bushmaster to be a match rifle. But, you can count on Bushmaster to be solid. Over the course of time, others moved their price down and down, and Bushmaster maintained a middle ground price, but increased their quality with the XM-15 Quick Response Carbine (QRC). With this version of the QRC, Bushmaster has added the Binary Firing System from Franklin Armory.
The Binary Firing System, BFSIII from Franklin Armory sells for around $400, so keep that in-mind when you evaluate the price, performance and value of this M4 style carbine. The BFSIII is a 4.5 lb trigger and features enhanced buffer springs and a three-position semi-automatic trigger.
Position 1: SAFE
Position 2: SEMI
Position 3: BINARY
Now, we all know Position ONE and Position TWO, but what is BINARY? Pretty simple. The trigger will fire one round when you pull, and one round on release. If you do not release, the second round is paused until you release. You can see that you can achieve a rather quick rate of fire with the trigger pulling double duty, so to speak.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
