Good presentation. Have you noticed any excessive wear in the upper receiver? Curious as to weather or not the bolt tilting would cause wear like that..

[GunsNGauze]

@winchestermag I have had some scratches on the inside of the upper receiver near the ejection port, but I was having some issues with steel case ammo rupturing in the bore and the casings scratched it up. It didn't compromise it's integrity or anything, but they just look ugly. Steel case ammo is cheap to shoot, but they fuck shit up if you shoot to much of it at one time.

@winchestermag oh and thanks for the kind comment

My barrel nut, pistol grip, and castle nut did come loose.. I'm assuming Bushmaster is scared to torgue them down that tight and risk fucking up the threads on the carbon.

@falloutforever88 Really? wow, that's weird. If you have your warranty still, I'd suggest sending it back to Bushmaster. If not, then you can use Loctite and re-tighten all those things your self, or have your local gun shop do it for you. I'm sure they'd have the necessary tools to do it. I've never experienced that problem myself. But to my knowledge, none of the threads are actually pure carbon fiber material, they usually have metal where threads are. I.e. barrel nut, buffer tube, etc.

@GunsNGauze Your very welcome :o) Thanks for the reply

@MrAutokillerable Yeah, I know what you mean It's always worth waiting longer and buying something nicer than buying something mediocre and feeling a little regret later on. I'm new to the AR world but I know they are not even close to being the same.

[MrAutokillerable]

@falloutforever88 Personally i prefer Colt, then bushmaster ive heard some retarded guys claiming to be " experts" saying they all are the same, tryin to talk me into a sig AR which i hate. i dont like a few of the options on the M&P and personally never really felt content with S&W. i know i can change them out but never felt the need to bother. but that just my 2cents.

[falloutforever88]

@MrAutokillerable not a fan huh. I never shot one.

[MrAutokillerable]

@falloutforever88 why the M&p?!?!

[falloutforever88]

@MrAutokillerable Yeah I tapped out the roll pin and took my gas tube out and tightened the barrel i was just checking it because the grip and buffer castle nut was loose, that barrel nut was wayyyyy too easy to take off, I haven't had any problems after i tightened it all down. I see myself buying a spikes upper and lower anyways to switch out the carbon fiber parts it's not a bad rifle but if i could go back in time i would probably get the M&P15SPT

[MrAutokillerable]

@falloutforever88 lol its because Remington bought out bushmaster, and in the contract clause 85 percent of the gun smiths packed up and left, so the quality is low in assembly, but parts are solid just do a break down, or get a gun smith to comb it. nice gun great one to have.
