Beegreenstrings Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Long story.Let's hear it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Well very long story told very short, I saw the ad in the paper of the gun I had been looking for for a few months now and called to get the info on it. I was told it was in fact a bushmaster predator just with a skeleton stock. Really wasn't the stockni was liking for but i intended on changing it anyway so I would just get it. I get there and was told by two guys behind the counter that it had the same internals and twist rate as the 5.56 predator just the stock was different. I bought it and took it home started doing research on ammo. I couldn't find any info on a predator with a 22 in barrel and after searching for hours I called bushmaster directly gave them my serial number and they told me it in fact was nothing like a predator and the store lied to me. It actually wasn't even a 5.56 which both sales guys and the guy over the phone all told me and assured me it was multi caliber. I took it back and after ripping a sales guy a new ass and the manager refusing to speak with me I got my money back in full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 It was made right which is why im not plastering their names all over the internets and dragging them through the mud. But if anyone in here has bought a bushmaster predator in the last two weeks withva 22 inch barrel and a skeleton frame please pm me so I can set you straight with what the manufacturer informed me. The gun you bought that was advertised as a 5.56 is actually a 223 ONLY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 What's the draw with the 5.56 vs. .223? Accuracy? Versatility? Ammo availability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Mainly versatility. With the gun I was wanting I could have shot the 223 and 556 with out a hiccup. The gun I was sold was strictly a 223. It wouldn't have held up to the pressure the 5.56 rounds create. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Yep flounder or walther can elaborate more on it if they want. There was a real good discussion somewhere on here but I couldn't find it when I was doing research on rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblosser Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 ...I get there and was told by two guys behind the counter that it had the same internals and twist rate as the 5.56 predator just the stock was different....It actually wasn't even a 5.56 which both sales guys and the guy over the phone all told me and assured me it was multi caliber.

John Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 The gun you bought that was advertised as a 5.56 is actually a 223 ONLY.it should be stamped on there 5.56 or .223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 it should be stamped on there 5.56 or .223You need to be clear when you say what details are stamped and where. Some AR lowers are stamped "Multi-caliber". Then the barrel is stamped with the chambered caliber but if there is a front guard on it like all AR's have, you cant see the caliber marking on the barrel. Hopefully this helps. Its not always as simple as one may think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 That's bullshit! Any store willing to do that must not care much about being sued when it blows up in your face. Out em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
