    quote: As part of the transaction, Bushmaster has also established a rapid prototype and R&D manufacturing facility in Georgia, where next generation products will be developed. The facility will maintain emphasis on Bushmasters new product pipeline for Commercial, Law Enforcement and Military tailored products.

    Not that I know of. I talk to some of the Cobb guys at the range once in a while. My thoughts on this is that Bushmaster was starting to feel the heat with DPMS offering AR variants in larger calibers and instead of doing the R&D themselves to market a similar product they went out and bought someone who makes it better than DPMS.
