HI 94Matt, You don't need to remove the hand guard, it should say near the tip of the barrel.

 

Didn't see anything there, but will check again later.

No numbers there.

 

HI 94Matt, Since it has a 24 inch barrel, I would think the most accurate bullets are going to be the heavy ones. Try FEDERAL GOLD MATCH in 69gr. & 77gr. now a box of these 20 rounds will cost you about $15.00, But you can buy these weights from other makers for about $9.00, hopefully your rifle will shoot the lighter 55gr. & 62 gr. bullets accrate too. My COLT ELITE CAR3 rifle will put 3 bullets touching at 100 yards.

 

Thanks for the tips

 

Your welcome, Any questions, I can help !!

 

Matt, is your rifle factory built or a custom frankengun?

 

i was looking at bushmasters site and the Bushmaster SuperLight Carbines look really nice. it has a 16 inch barrel though so does that make it a assualt rifle. i hope not because that is a bad *** gun

 

Bushmaster - Hunting Rifles


That's the one I have.

Wanted it as a versatile gun, can be used do defend myself from a distance or feed the family in a pinch.

 

Bushy's are a great gun for the money....good pick up.

The tubular forend (I think) should slide off over the gas tube towards the front of the barrel. It should have a couple screws in it holding it on. The barrel free floats inside it and is only held in by the nut at the rear.

My local "gun guy" is the 2007 Bushmaster Dealer of the Year...if you have any questions I can put you in contact with him.

 

HI 94Matt, Your BUSHMASTER has a 1/9 twist barrel, you should do great with most bulllets, I think your best accurcy will be with bullets weighting 69 gr. and lower, HAVE FUN with the new rifle !!!
