October 19, 2010 – This week, Bushmaster Firearms International announced a recall for all ACR model semiautomatic rifles. There have been reports of a design flaw that may make the firearm become fully automatic when the trigger is pulled.
Search in the Bushmaster Technical Data area. The response in the FAQ is: If you send me us complete serial number we can look it up to determine if it is pre or post ban. Only lower receivers shipped as complete rifles before the Federal Ban of 9-13-94 are pre ban. It seems Bushmaster is willing to stand behind their products. They even suggested exchanging the rifle but Sportsman's Warehouse won't allow it. I'm glad I'm working with a company that is dedicated to making their customers happy. That may be why Bushmaster is the number one AR-15 sold today. This and all future requests should be directed to this URI.
According to the company’s announcement “This unexpected firing of multiple rounds creates a potentially dangerous situation.”
The basic Bushmaster ACR semiautomatic rifle sells for approximately $2,700. A serial number search feature will soon be added to Bushmaster’s website.
I decided to call Bushmaster today and was told by them that they started up a second factory to produce AR15s due to high demand. The new serial numbers were produced last fall at the new production facility. The older L series are still being produced at the original facility. So now you can get a Bushy with either prefix.
