Bushmaster Date of manufacture?

[bd1024]

Hi everyone, I traded a handgun for a Bushmaster Carbon 15, with some extras. It does not have the forward assist or the dust cover. Serial # is BR3017490 ----- Can anyone tell me the approximate date is was made? --- And also your opinion of this rifle. I did some research on Google and Youtube, and it seems there is more negative feedback then positive. ---- Your opinions please, Thanks!

I got a bushmaster m4 a3 and got my balls busted over it... but I can rain lead as fast as I can pull the trigger 40 times and don't have any problems at all with it......who cares what people say...if you got a good deal on it...shoot it

I also have a bushmaster. Its not a high end rifle, and I probably wouldnt trust my life on it in the sandbox, but for who/what it's for I like it.

Dont let the guys with the fancy $3000 ARs rain on your parade.

I'd call Bushmaster to get an exact date of manuf.

As for opinions.....well everyone has one. Mine, it's a carbon 15, I wouldn't have given much trade value in it especially with the price of a lot of ARs with aluminum receivers out there now. For a general plinker it should do fine, something to shoot and goes bang. If you want to replace the forearm with a free float forearm, get a rail that uses a standard style barrel nut. The carbons have proprietary threads so if you try to install a forearm that comes with its own barrel nut, it won't work.
