I was planning on possibly ordering a Bushamaster AR-15 from you guys. I notice you took them off your site. Does this mean you don't have any left? If so any ETA on more?

Thanks

Yes we are out, we have more coming, but they sell out before I can put them on the website. Bushmaster is a month backordered, so my orders are impossible to predict. We stopped carrying the Shorty AK cause nobody wanted them. We could order them, It just might take a month, and we would need some kind of deposit.

Nobody wants the shorty AK model? I wonder why? So which model sells the most?

I have shot one and found it to be a uncomfortable rifle. The recoil impulse with the shorter barrel and the AK brake make it almost a flinch weapon everytime you pull the trigger. Also the brake blast is horrible to stand next too.

The two top brakes are the 1.5" A3 TacBrake, and the bottom one is the 1" A2 TacBrake for bbls over 16".

I think the AK brake is nice doe any of you guys feel the same way about it in a 20" or not? I hear it really does a nice job on reducing recoil and muzzle climb.

I don't think the AK brake looks good on an AR, but then again I'm a traditionalist.

As I said above, KKF makes the best aftermarket brakes for the AR15. If you don't like those above, you can also choose other styles like the "Limiter" below. If looks traditional from the side, but the angled ports in the front make the rifle very quiet and stable.

My M4'gery does not move at all with the Bushmaster Mini-Y comp. I just got back from the range and could not believe the difference between it and an SAR1, SAR2 and SA2000M!!! The only negative is the noise!!! I want a more traditional look, so I am going to have a KKF brake installed in the near future.
