BUSHMASTER Assault Rifle 5.56X45MM NATO
Description:
Guns Listing ID: 606053
The Bushmaster “Assault Rifle" is an early, pre-ban AR-15–pattern rifle produced by Bushmaster prior to the 1989 import restrictions and the later 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban. These early Bushmaster rifles are increasingly collectible due to their limited production and period-correct configurations.
This example features a factory-style folding stock, giving it the classic 1980s “assault rifle" aesthetic that Bushmaster marketed during this era. The rifle bears serial number F01722, placing it in early production, which is desirable among Bushmaster collectors.
Built during Bushmaster’s formative years, these rifles predate the mass-production AR market and are valued for their historical role in civilian AR development.
