Luke Cuenco 08.05.21
For long-time fans of the brand and of AR-15 rifles, some good news was dropped at the beginning of August with Bushmaster Firearms’ announcement of their official return to the industry. As part of their return, Bushmaster says they will be bringing some of their most popular rifles back immediately and will continue to work towards the production of both 450 bushmaster firearms as well as the often coveted Bushmaster ACR platform.
Bushmaster Firearms Makes their Return to the Industry Public
The company announced its return to the industry, independent of any other ties to firearms manufacturers via a press release on August 3rd, 2021. The Press release has been posted in full below:
August 2021 {Carson City, NV} – The venerable Bushmaster™ brand has been a household name in firearms for many years. Today we are proud to announce, that Bushmaster™ is back!
The preliminary offerings will focus on variants of the XM15-E2S™ model such as the QRC™ and M4 Patrolman’s™. We look forward to supporting law enforcement, military markets and reestablishing export sales with these items. In the future, we look forward to producing the ACR® and models chambered in 450 Bushmaster™.
Bushmaster Firearms™ is excited to announce our return. We are not an affiliate with any other firearms manufacturing companies. In times to come, our array of products will provide Proven™ perfection to all.
“Bushmaster Firearms™ is proud to be focusing on quality, American made manufacturing, driven by a long history that Bushmaster™ has accompanied. We will be using innovating and improved engineering, advanced materials, as well as the latest technology. It will always be Bushmaster’s™ mission to push our limits of performance, so that you can push yours.” CEO, Sun Naegele
Sun Naegele is making a move from his current position as Director of Marketing at Franklin Armory to his new position as CEO for Bushmaster Firearms. Hopefully, this return for the company bodes well for both the firearms industry and its customers. I know several people including myself who would love to get their hands on a Bushmaster ACR and who would also be proud to support another American firearms company. What are your thoughts on the return of Bushmaster to the firearms manufacturing industry?
