The only problem I have with the Bushmaster Masada is that they're calling it the "Bushmaster Adaptive Combat Rifle"...like they invented it. That rubs me wrong since they had zilch to do with the concept.

It's nice the rifle will have a decent production powerhouse behind it, but that's really the only advantage here. I would rather have a "Magpul Masada" than a Bushmaster ACR, when it gets right down to brass tacks.

Heck, I'll settle for a "Magpul ACR, manufactured by Bushmaster."

As it is, I'm all ready to hear gunshop salesman call it a
"improved Carbon-15" rather than the innovative rifle it truely is.

Bushmaster diluted the name, and now FN is likely breathing easier since their SCAR's won't have to worry about an actual branded Magpul rifle competing directly with theirs.
