There's a thread under "Bushmaster" on ar15.com, which asserts that the Kiesler Bushy's aren't standard Bushy's, in that they don't have chromelined barrels and chambers. If that's the case, then they aren't a bargain, after all, just another "special" cooked up by a distributor. Remember the crappy "Y2K Specials"? They were made up of parts that nobody wanted, eg., 11.5" barrel, with welded-on comp.
