There will be alot of people that say this rifle was built for Walmart to “Wlamart Specs,” but I can assure you that is just a rumor started by people that don’t like Walmart because they cannot or will not offer you the same price. If you are looking at this rifle on Walmart’s site, you may have already know that Bushmaster is once of the best M-16/M4 rifles on the market and have been for many years. For me though since I keep my AR for home defense and SHTF I want everything to be top quality.Ĭheck out the Magpul Alum Enhanced Trigger Guard For the average gun owner most of the AR makers will work fine. There are some technical stuff like properly staked gas key, twist rate, chrome lining, etc that matters to some people but not others. I only own a Colt 6920 and have been extremely pleased with it.
