Sandy Hook and aftermath A Bushmaster XM15-E2S was used during the. Nine families (plaintiffs) of the 26 victims of the shooting filed a class action lawsuit in Connecticut against Bushmaster, and others (defendants) seeking 'unspecified' damages, claiming an exemption in the 2005 which would normally disallow such a suit. The plaintiffs allege that the XM15-E2S is only suitable for military and policing applications, and Bushmaster inappropriately marketed the firearm to civilians. On April 14, 2016 a Connecticut court denied the defendants a motion to summarily dismiss the case, with lawyers for the defense filing a second motion for dismissal a month later.
On October 14, 2016, the defendants' motion to strike (dismiss) the complaint (lawsuit) was granted. The judge ruled the complaint was not valid per Federal and Connecticut laws.

When Remington Outdoor (nee Freedom Group) bought Bushmaster in 2006, they moved manufacturing from Windham, Maine to Ilion, New York. When Remington Outdoor opened their Huntsville, Alabama plant, the brand moved again. There, Bushmaster found itself rubbing elbows with Remington subsidiaries like Advanced Armament and DPMS. The proximity presented an opportunity for Bushmaster to develop a rifle incorporating some of the more interesting tech lying around the shop. The result: the Bushmaster XM15-E2S Minimalist-SD. To take full advantage of the opportunities Bushmaster chambered the XM15-E2S Minimalist-SD in.300 AAC Blackout — almost always the right caliber for really cool stuff. The most obvious addition to a standard Bushmaster AR: an AAC 51-tooth flash hider mount. The AAC 51T adapter is one of the more popular designs, but it does mandate a commitment to AAC products.
The 51T adapter accommodates AAC’s popular, for example, but won’t work for rival brands’ silencers. Just like Apple, Remington Outdoor seems determined to keep buyers in the AAC ecosystem. The three-prong flash hider works extremely well for flash suppression, but it comes with a minor annoyance.
Whenever you fire a round, cycle the action or dry fire the gun, the flash hider prongs act like a tuning fork, producing an audible “PING.” Some owners might find the sound a minor annoyance or even cool, but enthusiasts dedicated to maximum hush will be disappointed. Another addition from the AAC side of the fence: the SquareDrop handguard. For the longest time Bushmaster used standard AR-15 furniture. Their clam shell handguard and M4-style stock looked bulky and out-of-place in the modern AR-15 market. Addressing the issue, Bushmaster added Magpul MOE furniture to the line-up. But that’s just window dressing.
Bushmaster Xm15 E25 For Sale
Previously, there was only way to own a Bushmaster AR-15 with a modular free-floating handguard: buy one smothered in Picatinny rails, a setup that treats your support hand like a cheese grater processing fine mozzarella. Bushmaster’s Minimalist-SD catches up with the times (this is the modern modular free-floating handguard you’ve been looking for).
Bushmaster Xm E2s
With AAC’s SquareDrop design SD owners can use either Keymod or Bushmaster’s proprietary KeyDrop system to attach lights, lasers, cigar holders, etc. on a reduced diameter handguard. A full-length Picatinny rail sits on the top of the handguard for your optic mounting pleasure. The SD’s upper and lower receiver are unremarkable. That’s not a bad thing. The receivers are solidly built and assembled; I didn’t see any machining issues or find any noticeable wobble. That’s a solid win in my book. The SD’s trigger, however, is remarkable. Normally, a entry-level AR-15 ships with an inexpensive “mil spec” trigger group so awful that pulling it makes weep sad, bitter tears.
For the XM15-E2S Minimalist-SD, Bushmaster popped an into the lower receiver. Given the price difference between mil spec meh and the quality and accuracy improvement delivered by the $69 MSRP ALG go-pedal, this was a no-brainer. And a slam dunk. Capping off the accoutrements, Bushmaster threw out the usual “mil spec” stock and grip in favor of models. MFT’s gear is an ergonomic delight.
The grip is comfortable to hold and the stock is solid yet lightweight. It’s another welcome upgrade from the standard Bushmaster offering. Out on the range I tested the Bushmaster XM15-E2S Minimalist-SD with a variety of 300 BLK loadings, including supersonic and subsonic. I didn’t have a single issue with reliability. The gun ate everything I fed it, without hesitation. For accuracy testing, I ran a couple of different loads to figure out what the gun likes best. The 16″ 1:7 twist barrel didn’t like heavy fast loads, delivering three- to four-inch groups with the 147-grain and 150-grain flavors I had on hand.
In contrast, the lighter loads (e.g. Barnes TAC-TX 110 grain projectiles) reliably achieved 1/2 MoA groups at 100 yards. Camfrog terbaru 2014 full version. Given Bushmaster’s positioning as the value-priced tactical AR-15, that’s a highly impressive feat; due in no small part to that trigger.
I’m sitting here trying to think of things that could be improved on the Bushmaster XM15-E2S Minimalist-SD. The list is very short: an upgraded bolt carrier group, a nickel boron coating (given the fact that it’s intended to be suppressed) and a nicer charging handle. But in terms of value for money, you can’t fault its $1169 MSRP. (AAC’s version of this configuration runs in the $1,500 range.) In short, if you like this caliber, you’ll love this gun.
SPECIFICATIONS: Barrel: 16 inch 1:7 twist heavy contour Overall length: 35 inches Available calibers: 5.56 NATO, 300 AAC Blackout (tested) Weight: 6.3 lbs Coating: Hard Anodizing, FNC barrel MSRP: $1,169 RATINGS (Out of Five Stars): Accuracy:. For a 300 BLK rifle this is about as good as it gets. Ergonomics. Extra points for swapping the usual Picatinny forend for a proper modular handguard system. The Mission First Tactical furniture works and feels great. Reliability.
Zero issues, even when I threw in some rounds I found laying on the ground. Overall. 1/2 Buy it. Words I never thought I’d say about a Bushmaster. Honestly, I would never buy a Freedom Group AR-15 to shoot it as is. But the prices we’ve been seeing on DPMS Oracles have been extremely tempting.
I work at an LGS and seeing one at work has got me thinking. I’ve got spare parts lying around, all the components I would want to swap out on the rifle. Goodbye, wrong height gas block!
Later, oversized hand guards! Adios, mil-spec trigger! Never again, weird adjustable stock! And I’ve got a muzzle brake I’ve been wanting to try. Of course, I would need to buy a mil-spec tube, but other than that, not much. And I’d have the opportunity to do my own, proper, quality control.
Making sure the barrel nut and castle nut are properly torqued, proper installation of other parts, etc. Honestly, I would never buy a Freedom Group AR-15 to shoot it as is.

Making sure the barrel nut and castle nut are properly torqued, proper installation of other parts, etc. I have the Bushmaster XM-15 E2S QRC chambered in 5.56/.223 about a thousand rounds or so through the gun without issues except lack of ammo: I’m new to the AR world and found the gun so fun to shoot I keep running out of $$$ for ammo! A few weeks later, I bought a Ruger AR-556 which I feel is a bit more ruggedly built than the Bushmaster. Again, no failures of any kind. I keep these two weapons nearby at all times to keep home invaders at bay.
I like the 300 AAC round but my next AR will be in.308 Winchester for added defense against intruders wearing body armor. I will keep the other two hidden inside the walls as just-in-case guns. You would be well-served by almost any AR just keep it clean and rest assured that your castle is well-defended.
Quite correct. However, as ‘Demolition Ranch’ or some such YouTube channel pointed out, there are certain rounds that will penetrate hardened steel, some of which are legal. Some.223 rounds will too, but these are illegal as far as I know. If memory serves, velocity kills armor, even AR-500 steel plates, with the key velocities being about 3400-3700 feet per second.
I will build a ballistic shield for home defense using AR-500 plates soon which will buy me the time to hit any home invader in the head. The head is unlikely to be as well-protected as the torso.
Most home invaders with body armor would pick Type IIA to Type III but I suspect steel plate will become far more common as the price drops into a more affordable range. Gangs in certain locales, such as LA, are now commonly using body armor to give them an edge in home invasions. Bush Master’s are Junk, DPMS made a better AR which is why Remington bought them out, too avoid competition! A 300 black hawk is nothing but an under powered.308 so the wussies can handle it! If you wanted an AK 47 round why not just buy an AK? Do nothing to tarnish the name of Curtis Lemay who first pushed the buying the M16.
And the crooked SOB Johnson who ordered the incursion into the North Vietnamese waters to set off the Vietnam War, which made his family rich because of investment into the War Machine Industries; start a war to get rich off of 58000+ lives, these two are responsible for the wussy.223 anyway. Not sure about anyone else but I prefer to keep my guns relatively spartan without a lot of unnecessary stuff. If I don’t have a need for it, off it comes. For instance, my MPX is running sans BUIS since I put on the red dot. Ditto my AR that I set up way back in the day. My USC, MP5-22, and PTR 91 run the iron sights as I think HK’s diopters are awesome.
Love them and don’t see the point of a red dot for those carbines. My ACR has BUIS right now only because it doesn’t have a red dot and I specifically got the basic version because I didn’t see the point of all the rails on the enhanced if I wasn’t going to add stuff to the rifle. None of these have any angled for grips, rail covers, lights, bipods, or any cosmetic doodads. Heck, they don’t even have slings (I drag these to and from the range or shooting pits in my rifle cases in the back of my car, I don’t sling them over my shoulder and go off into the hinterlands). So to me, I guess it means just a simplified, basic, no-nonsense rifle.
But “minimalist” sounds more sophisticated.
I am new to the world of Ar-15 rifles and chose after doing some research to buy a Bushmaster XM15 E2S, 16 inch carbine M4 type rifle. The price was right,- 915 bucks out the door, tax included Brand new. So I did buy this model but when I got this rifle home and was preparing to go shooting, I discovered that the upper on this rifle is of the older A1 style without the windage knob under the rear sight. This upper is listed in the Bushmaster catalog as a separate part, but nowhere is it shown installed on any of thier XM15 rifles in the catalogs or the manual that came with my rifle. Did I purchase an oddball rifle? Did my rifle come with the wrong upper installed by mistake from the factory, or was this a bargain model and I just failed to notice it?
I simply thought that all the XM-15 E2S M4 carbine rifles would have an A2 style upper, as shown in the catalogs and online. I just would like to know what is going on with this particular rifle, if anybody knows- It looks pretty retro, but that's not exactly what I was going for. Of course, if it shoots well and good with these old style sights, I really dont care I suppose. I did email Bushmaster about this, so if I hear anything from them before someone here tells me something, I'll post it here. BTW This is my first post to the best board I've ever found.
AR-15.com ROCKS. Originally Posted By Thorgrim: Thanks for the fast reply- I actually had planned on calling themduring business hours, but I just bought this today and got all excited and thought folks on here may know something.- Cause they do!:) Anyway, like I said, if these old style sights work good- (do they?) then I really dont care, I'll leave it how it is. With Bushmaster turning out several thousand rifles/carbines a year, it's hard to keep up with every model. I have some that aren't listed as regular inventory.
