bushmaster rimfire?

[jsp]

new to the forum and currently awaiting my PAL. Just a question, I love the look of the ar-15 and would love to get one when my licence arives.

My question is: Does bushmaster make any rimfire semi-auto rifles? similar to the ar-15

I have heard rumors of modification

thnkx 4 the info, jsp

You can buy .22LR conversions for AR-15's and there is even a company showing off it's newly developed .17hmr conversion. The "problem" is that AR-15 and their variants are restricted firearms so you need your RPAL and you can only shoot it at an approved range.

As far as I know, bushmaster does not make a rimfire that looks like an AR-15. However, if they did, they would probably use AR-15 parts and then it would be considered a variant of an AR-15 and be classed as a restricted rifle anyway.

if you have the bucks, you can just buy a dedicated 22lr upper receiver. if your poor like me, get a conversion kit and take the extra 10 seconds to swap the bolts/mags

They are expensive to build, but using a Nordic stock you can make a Ruger 10-22 look AR'ish.

wow that is so hot, has any of the mods made it restricted?

 

[Scarecrow]

only mods that will make a 10/22 restricted is making the overall length less than 26".

so the ar-15 is a restricted weapon, does bushmaster make any non restricted rifles that can be converted into .22lr

No.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

the only non-restricted AR styled rifle would be the AR180 that shoots the .223. makes me wonder how much it can be modded and remain non-restricted!

canfire...that's a very admirable conversion! I'm impressed...and yet so fearful to ask how much you think the total cost you. bet it was as much as the real deal, eh?

Search Nordic, or krinker here. There is a huge amount of knowledge on CGN about them.
I have been looking at building up an older 10/22 something like Canfire's, just don't seem to have the buck$...

Not sure about Canadian suppliers, but Brownells has most of the stuff.
Good luck on your project.

Bushmaster Carbon 15 22LR is what you speak of. However I think you'd be better off with a regular AR lower and a 22 upper from Questar or a .223 upper with a 22LR conversion kit.

exactly what got me in debt look at Canfire, pc9, and my builds for 3 different ideas around the nordic conversion kit. and yes, it is $$. not as much as a real AR. my biggest reasons for doing it: looks cool, fun, non restricted, and waaaay cheaper to shoot!!
