Ok, exactly what problems have you encountered with BM's. The reason I ask; I started my AR adventures in the late 80's through the late 90's. After a few years off I've gotten back into it big time.
I've seen the pics on the BC's and end plates. What I want to know is the actual failures and causes. Just a few years ago the BM was tauted as being the 'best', the closest to 'mil-spec' that was available.
I now own a BM M4, this is my 14th Bushy and after many thousands of rounds through these rifles I have never had a failure of any kind with BM, and I am being completely honest here. In comparision I have also owned six different Colt's and only one performed with 100% reliability. Four had occasional failures, all FTF if memory serves and one was a malfuncationing mess. Now the Colts I owned from this era (with maybe one exception) did not have chrome lined bores. Most were HB's.
My current plans are to stake the BC and end plate on my current BM and soon (Jan - Feb) aquire a Colt 6920.
This will give me two M4's, one for me (Colt) and one for my wife (BM). I would just like to here experiences from others.
My how time changes.
