GSXRAntwon Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Picked it up today for a crackhead price with a bunch of mags and a 22 conv kit as well. Its a stock Bushmaster with an MOE rubber grip, thats about it. For a SHTF situation, I think she'll do. I want to eventually change the upper for an optic, and maybe some other things. Gun guys, any suggestions on "necessary" add ons? Here she is: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/DDA8B895-331B-48BB-9D33-625D10AC13C6-259-000000099DB4D69A.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would get a nice optic and if you can find one a folding stock Haha yea Ive thought about it, but for the price I paid I couldnt replace it anytime soon. I like the collapsible stock for now, maybe a Magpul later on. Thinking once I get a different upper I want an Aimpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Nothing wrong with that boom stick. Learn how to use the sights that are on it and you are more than fine. The batteries never die on iron sights. Zero it and know what you're working with. Half the shit people are attaching to their weapon just gets in the way. You need any help understanding the sights, feel free to ask. Edited January 25, 2013 by Mojoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Congrats on the pickup man, I love my shrubby, eats everything I've thrown at it, and haven't had any issues with it. Great price given the current BS too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would get a nice optic and if you can find one a folding stock Have you ever seen a folding stock on an AR? Hint - it's possible, but only with one certain (uncommon) variation.

Putty Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Nice score!! The hard part is done. Plenty of time to add goodies. Uppers will be plentiful again at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XChris1632X Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I don't really have anything I'd like to get rid of. What do u need or what are u looking for? It was more BS than seriousness. Most of my mags are brand new and I really am not in the market to get rid of them. I have just the amount I want to have. I'm not all about price raping people but it would take a lot to get me to let them go. Plus, I paid too much for them as well. If you are interested in buying some, I may have the chance to buy some more soon but they are going to be atleast 15-20 a piece for me to get. I can send you a pm then.

HotCarl Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 900$ ?! i would say in the current market you got a deal. I agree with Joe, shoot your irons first before getting an optic. Personally my first mod would be to get either a quad-rail (i had a magpul one and its pretty comfy w/o gloves on), ditch the carry handle for a rail up top and get some flip up irons to start, that stuff wouldn't really cost you that much either. Good pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
