windham vs m&p vs bushmaster

[ZX-14R]

I prefer Spikes Tactical and Bravo Company, but I guess you can't buy those at Cabelas.

In my opinion, between the three listed...

S&W > Windham > Bushmaster

 

[MP43]

I totally agree, S&W, Windham and Bushy

 

[Yeah]

You are both wrong. All goods are the same.

If you've seen the build practices in the Windham factory video, and you are still ready to buy in, all goods probably are the same.

Looks like good people building good rifles to me...

And another great video from INGOer MAC too.

I own a Windham...love it. 175 yard shots on 20oz pop bottles with just iron sights! They are made by the original Bushmaster people after the noncompete clause expired. The original owner reopened his shop and hired all his old workers back! If nothing else, it's a cool story about how he put people back to work. Cheaper than Dirt had a story that said the Windham was the best AR for the money. Dunno if that helps...

Bushmaster would be my last choice.

I wouldn't buy any firearm at Cabelas.

I bought the Windham HBC (Heavy Barrel Carbine) from Shooter521. Nice rifle. Shoots well. Cheaper than the M&P. Fit & finish way better than today's Bushy.

 

[Yeah]

If it's all OK with you, it's all OK with you.

Please explain. I would like to know what you think they are doing wrong. Ill admit Im not the deepest waters when it comes to ARs and what goes into building them. But I dont see anything in the video that puts me off my Windham.

I own a smith and a windham and I like them both

 

[Yeah]

Seeing a torque wrench employed on any of the fasteners associated with a torque spec would be a good start.

For whatever it's worth, my FIL bought a S&W the same time I bought my Windham. Comparing the two side by side, I would say the fit and finish of my Windham is a tad better than the S&W. Running them both at the range, they both performed flawlessly.

You should watch Mac's video on his tour/testing of WW facility/guns

Do your research on who is making the Windham. From all that I have discovered, the Windham is the Bushmaster before its quality went south and its price went up. Get the Windham before the price goes up and the quality goes down.
