Bushmaster Assault Rifle

[AKSOG]

Anybody ever seen one of these before? It's a strange looking setup to me so I thought I would share.

It looks like a Thompson-AR, ugly. The only thing that it assaulted was my eyes.

Ugly!!

[ICONIC]

kinda looks like a galil

[Jyruiz]

Kind of looks like an AR 180.

It looks like it wants to be an AK so badly.

LOL I was thinking the same thing. It looks quite a bit like a Galil but with the receiver and Bold/Carrier AR based.

So what highschool metalshop graduate made the upper?

Wow, that has to be one of the uglyist guns I have ever seen

[Enfield47]

That is one ugly rifle that doesn't know what it wants to be.

Cool piece of evolutionary history. I'd love to have it in the collection.

Here's the folding stock one and the schematic.

IIRC, I recall seeing one of them at the Anderson's Sporting Goods shop in Fountain Valley back in the early '80s..

I do recall these and while ugly, they worked very well, and were very solid guns. Reliable, and on par with the basic-need but ugly Galil of the time, which is also not a very attractive gun. My brother had one, one of his/our first rifles in the late 1970s, and up until the late 1980's when someone said "Bushmaster" this is actually the rifle that came to mind.

I remember those things. I actually got to handle one down at JD Machine one time. Primative, but they were supposedly functional.

looks like Stoners first attempt on an AR,and it went wrong.
