Bushmaster CM15

[Gunner46]

Was just wasting some time with my brother tonight, running around town. Hit the fish fry at the Legion, drove out to check out the new E Cig shop, got some 'juice', and then he drug into the Gander Mountain next door. Started checking out the latest/ greatest rifles they had in stock and ran across a Bushmaster CM 15, with a Bushnell red dot, for $699.
On sale until the 19th.

That's over $150 off MSRP.

Any thoughts on this weapon ? Who has used one ? Etc.

Just keep in mind the lower is composite on the CM15. You could build a lot better AR for that price.

Wingman is correct. Im not a fan of the composite. Its up to you and your preference though. good luck.

+1 on building one for under that price.

The only place I know of to buy the parts is Brownells, and I cant beat $699 no matter how cheap I go. Where else could I look for the parts?

Cabelas has the Colt LE6900 on sale for $699

Gunner,
Pull up Primary Arms and also Palmetto State Armory.

PA has SUPER customer service and good products.

PSA has killer deals if you don't get in a rush. Shipping not the best but, I built on the cheap

Only reason I suggest a build yourself is that you will know the weapon inside and out.

Gunner, just to parrot what idnative said, you can get great deals on PSA gear. Their barrels are made by FN there in Columbia, SC and everyone I know who has PSA is sold on them. Often you can get blemished parts for great prices and the blemishes are barely discernible. If you want to keep your money here in NC, try Del-ton down East in Elizabethtown. They also make great gear and right now you can get a kit of your choice for $490.00, all you need beside their kit is a stripped lower. That should put you under the mark and be a good experience putting the lower together; uppers are assembled, head spaced and test fired already.

I don't know what you plan on using it for, but Bushmasters are garbage for any serious use.
