California legal Bushmaster AR-15

[bulletproof]

How many of you telling him not to buy this rifle actually own it? I own it among with about ~10 other AR series rifles both AW and OLL. It's a great rifle, get it because:

1. You want almost 0 hassle of LE - Sure there's some REALLY ignorant LE out there, but I'd wager this will get you in less of an argument than a bullet button rifle - and believe me I've been in OLL debates with LE's (even the most dick are actually cool people after they realize you're not a bad guy)

2. It's light as hell

3. It's not cheap at all, it shoots great, better than some of the lower end AR's I own

4. It's a bushy

This is the exact same argument I heard from gear heads back in the early 2000's talking about the new composite front ends on cars - but guess what composite / polymer works...

I dunno I'm sure it's up for debate, but personally I think it's a great rifle.

Gh, you answers served my post, I just wanted feedback from other people with experience of the gun since my social circle is lack of gunners. The rifle looks great, light, shoots well (I shot it), with a few mods on it and I feel good carrying it. It's true, I have no intention to mod the magwell, I just want to own one that I'll have close to zero chance to get hassle by LE. I'd like to apologize and say thanks to the ones who tried to talk me out of it cause I am getting the rifle. I know you guys meant good cause I can build one with far more options on it but this one is complete, affordable and available. I will look into building one in the future if I have the time.

Thanks all, take care.

the top loading would likely get annoying very quickly, compared to using a handy allen head to drop your mags...

BF - You mean using the tip of an allen head wrench to push the Bullet Button? If you have a Prince 50, please do not loosen it!!! Bullet Buttons and similar devices are the only legal way that you can "drop a mag" in California if your rifle has any "evil features."
