build kits are a great way to learn and hone your AR building skills all the while having it all in front of you and most of the hard work already assembled.
Bushmaster is one of the originial AR15 manufacturers. For years, the Bushmaster has been called the XM-15 and this is the M4 style carbine. Prior to the 1994 Clinton Assault Weapons Ban, Bushmaster and Colt rifles were considered on a par in cost and quality in the civilian market. While the popularity of the brand is not what it used to be, this is still a solid made in USA M4.
The kit comes with the upper and lower assembled, with lower parts kit, BCG and charging handle for you to install.
From Gunivore, February 4, 2017:
"Since the early 1970’s, Bushmaster has been committed to manufacturing accurate, durable, and dependable weaponry. These carbines and rifles were engineered with top of the line products and designed with all types of shooters in mind. They are a pleasure to own and shoot; just take a look and find the one right for you. It’s important to note that although there have been many critics of Bushmaster, over the last several years; their products have skyrocketed in quality (as evidenced in their Minimalist-SD Rifle, among other offerings)."
