    Don't let us forget, it was the Gwinn Bushmaster that was banned.
    Unfortunately, the MD law left out the Gwinn MFG part in the law and eventually everything AR from the Bushmaster company the MSP said was banned even though they had pretty good Colt HBAR copies.

    several shops including one IP here were selling Bushmaster versions of the Colt HBAR on 4473 only before and after Oct 2013

    Because of the mistakes of MSP, anything with bushmaster on it will get more scrutiny than is deserved.

    One of my local shops used to carry Bushmaster stripped lowers, but they stopped a while ago. I have a nice carbine built on that, and I just installed a new Fostech Echo Sport trigger in it.

    What's the echo sport? And also, what's the current standing on echo triggers? I'm planning a fishing trip in October depending on the outcome of the court case.

    Got one of the .450 uppers from another vendor for less than $440 shipped. Not bad for a chrome lined decent make complete upper.

    Now to build the thumper on a post FSA lower.

    The other vendor shipped promptly and was cheaper. Here is the kicker they specifically disabled the option to ship to UPS store or depot, so I had to take a few hours off work to receive on the 3rd attempt. Not worth it and an idiot move. Id pay $80 more given the time I invested in this.

    What is the deal with magazines for these? Can they use stock mags, follower change, or proprietary?
