BUSHMASTER VARMINTER 556/223

Description

For Sale is an Original Bushmaster Varminter from ME, the Bushmaster AR-15 Varminter A3 Flattop Upper Assembly features a 24″ Fluted Extra Heavy Barrel in 5.56mm/.223 Rem. caliber with 11 degree competition crown; heavyweight 1″ diameter under the hand guard; custom match hybrid chamber with a tighter SAAMI Spec head space from the shoulder of the chamber to the bolt face, and longer chamber throat or “Leade”. This accommodates 5.56mm ammunition without developing higher pressures encountered when firing 5.56mm ammo in a .223 chamber with shorter “Leade” (both calibers can be used safely). Rifling is 1 in 9″ twist for optimum performance with most lighter bullet weight varmint cartridges, and the barrel is fluted to increase cooling and reduce weight.

The Varminter Upper’s shell ejection path is designed to drop all your brass in the same place as a convenience for the reloader. A vented forend with bipod/sling stud installed, free-floats the barrel from the barrel nut forward.

One of the best features of this rifle is the two-stage competition trigger. This type of trigger produces a nice crisp let off, adjustable for weight of pull and overtravel, while preventing slam firing during cycling of the action. For accurate, long-range shooting, this type of trigger makes actually hitting the target much easier.

I bought this rifle around 2005. This rifle is completely stock, except for the extended charging handle latch and I had it professionally threaded.

It will come with the original 5rd magazine, a brand new Pmag 30rd magazine.
