The Bushmaster you linked is the same as my friends in the picture I posted earlier in this thread. It's a great rifle, just remember you have to keep these direct impingement AR's clean. The bolt carrier groups get filthy quick which will affect how it cycles rounds

Immmm baaaaaaccckkkk....for now.
^^for real dukie, we should all pitch in and form our own specialty shop ha.
Aren't we all? I'm in the market for everything in the world....once I handle the **** I got myself into. Owe my parents some big money.
Don't you live near Appalachian? ask Mike to see if he can do it real quick??
and no, not you pulltab
i really hate how most shops nowadays are all about replacing stuff and the easiest way out that will make them the most money. It's ridiculous that they are telling you that testing to determine the ACTUAL cause is not cost effective. To take a valve cover off is nothing, and a compression test is a extremely simple test to perform. They don't need to "pull it apart", they just need to run the tests - that's it. And a compression test most certainly will work.
$100-200 in diagnosis to pinpoint the issue is a lot better than spending 2-3 grand to replace the engine blindly.

My boat is a '89 18' BassTracker, that picture was before I wet sanded/buffed/polished the metal flake finish and reupholsted the interior and painted the engine cover. It's 110hp so she scoots along pretty good. I plan on fishing quite a few tourney's on the Potomac this coming spring and summer. Anyone interested in fishing with me as a non boater let me know. Tourneys are usually every other saturday

You dont have to have a jeep to come to the shop, just to work on your own vehicle you do
Hope it works out for ya.
