Guns Listing ID: 507259



This firearm has had the trigger changed to a binary trigger, please be aware when purchasing. Bushmaster Firearms is the successor of Gwinn Firearms, founded by Mack Gwinn Jr. upon his return from the Vietnam War. It went bankrupt, was purchased by Richard Dyke in 1976, and moved from Bangor, Maine to Windham, Maine.[1] Quality Products Company acquired it in 1990.[2]

In 2002, a Bushmaster and a Bushmaster dealer were the subjects of a civil lawsuit brought by two survivors and six families of victims of the October 2002 D.C. sniper attacks, which resulted in the deaths of ten and injuries to three people. On September 8, 2004, Bushmaster agreed to pay $550,000 of a $2.5 million settlement in the lawsuit, and Bull‚‚s Eye Shooter Supply of Tacoma, Washington, the Bushmaster dealer from whom one of the perpetrators said he had shoplifted the rifle, paid $2 million.[3][4] The company cited mounting legal fees and compassion for the victims and their families as the reason for settling.[5]

Dyke sold Bushmaster in 2006 for $70 million to Cerberus Capital Management. The company became part of the Freedom Group (renamed Remington Outdoor Company in 2015), owned by Cerberus Capital Management, in April 2006.[6] In December 2010, the Freedom Group announced that operations at the Windham facility would cease as of March 2011.[7] Windham Weaponry was founded by Dyke in 2011 in Windham, \"to put Maine people back to work who lost their jobs\" when Bushmaster moved out of state in March 2011
