    I am getting ready to buy a .223 rifle. I have heard that dpms is a superior rifle to the bushmaster. never owning either one, my question is: does the dpms offer the quality to go with the higher price tag...thanx for all input....Walt

    In last month's Gun Test they did a comparison of the DPMS, Armalite and Bushmaster in 308 and the DPMS won handsdown.

    Bushmaster used to be considered top dog except that Colt got top dollar because of the name.
    I'd go for a chromed barrel.

    Yes. The birdcage is just a pre-ban flash supressor. They are now using them again since the AWB sunsetted.

    The M4 has a removeable carry handle so you can use just the flattop for scope mounting, A1 doesn't.

    Click on the link in my signature and you will be able to find Bushmasters to look over. Enter in my Zip Code of 99559 and you will actually be able to find prices on the different bushmasters.

    Don't forget to check out Rock River Arms, they are pretty competitave as far as price and quality. I've allways had Bushmasters, but recently picked up two RRA M-4's and am really happy with them...
