Bushmaster AR-15

The heart of the Bushmaster Varminter's amazing accuracy is the beautifully designed and executed barrel.

The ejection of the Varminter has been smoothed and tuned to make it easy on the shooter to collect his brass for reloading, and ejection of the fired cases placed them all in one neat pile.

Latest reports indicate that the weapon matching ballistics to 11 of the snipers' assaults is the Bushmaster XM-15, a build-it-yourself kit.

Coincidentally, this firearm is the featured review on October 23, 2002 at gunblast.com, one day before a similar weapon was found behind the front seat of the 1990 Caprice, upon the arrest of the two sniper suspects.
