FS: Bushmaster XM15-E2S CMP National Match AR15

[Maximum Ordinate]

For sale: Bushmaster XM15-E2S CMP National Match AR15.

Price:  1300, plus shipping.

These limited edition rifles were delivered to the CMP circa 2002 from Bushmaster in Windham, ME.  (The company has since been sold a couple of times.) 

Based on the condition of the BGC, charging handle, and trigger engagement surfaces (pictures below), I estimate this rifle has less than 100 rounds through it.  The original barrel was replaced with a White Oak Precison Krieger 20" service rifle barrel.  The barrel is still new and unfired.  Otherwise, this rifle is fully original and low-wear.  It weighs in at about 13.5 pounds.

If you want to get into competition and actually be competitive from the beginning, this piece of CMP history could be your ticket.

From the 2006 CMP sales literature:

• A2 rear sight modified to accept interchangeable "micro-aperture" peeps. Windage and elevation mechanisms feature either 1/4 or 1/2 Minute Adjustments per click.
• Competition front sight post specially ground on three sides for optimum visual clarity, available in .052" or 0.62" width.
• A 20" Bushmaster Extra Heavy Competition barrel- a full 1" diameter under the handguard, with an 11 degree crowned competition muzzle. Precision button-rifled in a 1X8" right hand twist, machined from Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel steel, lapped and hardened to Rockwell C26 to 32- superior to stainless barrels! Hybrid custom match chambering that uses a tighter SAAMI spec. headspace from the chamber shoulder to the bolt face, it has longer throat depth, or "leade" that will accommodate the higher pressure 5.56 ammo, but .223 can be used as well. Barrels are shipped well oiled.
• In the upper receiver, the bolt is matched to the Barrel Extension for positive lockup and optimum accuracy.
• Lower receiver has a finely honed Competition Trigger factory set at the DCM legal 4.5 lbs. pull. First stage is 3.5 lbs., second stage is 1 lb.
• Forearm uses stock-style handguards over a "free-floater" tube that doesn't contact the barrel. Sling swivel is attached to the leading edge of the tube so as to avoid any possible barrel deflection when using a sling.
• Improved competition buttstock has a 3.62 lb. lead counterbalance weight that can be trimmed by user. Rifle weight is 13.5 lbs.
