Oh, the joy. :) I've always wanted one of these and now that the AWB is over (for now at least), I could finally pick one up (and not spend $2500 for the pre-ban options). It comes with a 14.5" barrel and a 1.5" Izzy flash supressor in order to meet the 16" BATF regulations for semi-automatic assault rifles.

http://www.bushmaster.com/shopping/weapons/bcwa3f14m4iz.asp

Specs
Caliber: 5.56 mm / .223 Rem.
Magazine: 30 rounds
Length (stock retracted): 30.875 inches
Barrel Length: 16" total
Rifling: R.H. twist; 1 turn in 9"
Weight w/o magazine: 6.57 Lbs.
Mode of Operation: Gas Operated - Semi-Automatic

The the Bushmaster M4 Type features a lightweight 14.5" Barrel machined in the distinctive M4 profile. With the “Sunset” of the 1994 A.W.B., we can now offer this model with a permanently attached “Izzy” Compensator/Flash Suppressor, Six Position Telestock and High Capacity Magazine. This configuration yields a total barrel length of 16" to comply with BATF regulations for semi-automatic rifles. The barrel is chrome lined in both
bore and chamber for longevity and easy cleaning, and the 1 x 9" twist button rifling will stabilize a wide range of currently available ammunition (bullet weights up to 75 grains). On the A2 Type, the M16A2 dual aperture, rear sight system offers both windage and elevation adjustments (calibrated from 300 to 800 meters).

The M4A3 Type Carbine includes our Removable Carry Handle with 1/2 Minute of Adjustment Rear Sight - calibrated from 300 to 600 meters. The handle clamps onto the Upper Receiver’s full length Picatinny rail - which will accept an wide array of scopes, red dot sights, accessories, and night vision equipment. The M4 Type Carbine - available only through your FFL Dealer - is shipped in a lockable, hard plastic case complete with 30 Rd. Magazine, Black Web Sling, Orange Safety Block, and Operator’s Safety and Instruction Manual.

I posted a few pictures of my Bulgarian AK-47 (SLR-95 from Arsenal) in order to give a size comparison.

They had them for sale at the gunshow for about $2500 (but they were the large butt-stock .50 cal versions).

As long as they don't open my car door and get in my passenger seat (VERY illegal), they won't have a problem, will they?

having an array of weapons at your disposal isnt about starting a private army...it's about protecting yourself by all means afforded to you by right. but it is a nice feeling to be able to have access to whatever caliber weapon you like.

I would actually start with the cars that run around with horrible "ricer" rear wings and other gaudy things. :)

I sold it. Sorry about not letting you know more about it, but in all honestly, because it was a post ban model, you probably wouldn't have wanted it because of its limited accessories.

Gotcha. It's all good. You'll make it up to me by giving me a ride in your car at the meet.... ;)

What dealer did you use to get yours thru?

Yeah, I had to use it as part of my bargaining deal with this gun. I bought it at the Eastman Gun Show this past weekend.

Protection? Damn...exactly why would one need mutliple firearms to "protect" themself..I mean cant really fire them all at once and no reason to run out of ammo in any situation unless the bloods or crips decide to raid ur house. lol Anyways... You can rent them for like 15$ plus ammo (still rather cheap) here on base and target shoot.

BTW Burst mode if really fun..even though i got in a lil trouble in BMT bc of it..lol
