Bushmaster Firearms

[Freedom Ventures]

Last week we placed our first Stocking order with Bushmaster Firearms.

We have Varminter, Predator, DCM Competition, V-Match and Carbon-15s

22Lr top ends, lowers uppers, etc.

We're going to have to wait for the US Export permit, so arrival will probably be around July / early August.

 

[A-zone]

With the Canadian dollar being so strong against the US dollar, what do you expect the pricing will be?

Will we be seeing anything close to the pricing on the Bushmaster on-line store?

Sadly, no.

Bushmaster has some overhead on thier foreign shipments, they say, due to a lot of extra paperwork from US Department of State. (Boy, these guys are REALLY tough on the AR manufacturers and what they can export...)

Then there's the freight.

Initially, I expect SRP for a Varminter to be in the $1800 range, and A3 Carbon-15 carbines in the $1500 area. As always, dealers may sell for less...

Sean,

Are you talking about 22LR AR15 Uppers?
What make and what is your "guess-timated" price on the 22 LR uppers?

[JD Spanner]

I,d like info on the 22LR Upper kits also. please

 

[Greenhorse six]

+1 ,more info on those .22 uppers.

 

[Freedom Ventures]

Initially, the 22 uppers coming in are the Carbon 15 .22 Lr Rimfire Reciever / Barrel Assemblies - 16" barrel, 10 round magazines, Std. iron front sight, rear peep sight and rail.
Complete kit includes all pieces necessary to convert the rifle to .22 rimfire.

SRP - $712.

 

[Steve David]

Any 9mm stuff?

 

[esquif]

anything below 16 inch

 

[Freedom Ventures]

Nope, sorry.

When I enquired about ordering stuff like that, Bushmaster told me that the State Department will not issue export permits to them for Canada for 6-Position tele-stocks, M4 type anything, bayo lugs, flash suppressors, 20 or 30 round magazines anything shorter than 16”

All the carbines we have on order have the "tele-look-a-like" stock.

 

[Freedom Ventures]

Any 9mm stuff?

Not in our first order; just 223, but after order #1 lands, we'll look into it.

 

[Freedom Ventures]

New Shipment has arrived.

XM-15s with 20" Barrels and 16" Barrels.

 

[Sniper1]

Me want ACR

 

[Freedom Ventures]

Me want ACR

Me too, but Bushmaster isn't exporting it (knowingly) right now.

 

[mrsmitty]

I didn't think the ACR was shipping yet?

 

[Freedom Ventures]

Maybe - the answer I got at SHOT was to forget about it this year.

 

[Sniper1]

Me too, but Bushmaster isn't exporting it (knowingly) right now.

Yes i know... i just want you to keep the pressure on BM... tell then there's a huge demand up here for the 20" ACR in the three main calibers (.223, 7.62x39 and .308).
Thanks

 

[mrsmitty]

18.5 is better than 20 though. And especially 308 version which will be the magpul Massoud.

 

[tootall]

The last time I emailed the MagPul guys, they had not made any deal to licence out the .308 version to anyone else yet.
So it is not really valid to ask a Bushy importer to bring in the .308 Massoud yet.

Thanks Toot. I'm always open to questions, and I'll answer them to the best of my ability, but as you point out, there are other forces in play.
