Websites are getting redirects to basically place holder pages now.
Thanks Remington
Would be nice if Windham can get the Bushmaster name back.

Bushmaster Firearms is Gone.

I don't know what sort of sales they had, but I think that Massachusetts lawsuit has them taking defensive actions. 

Military Arms Channel did a video recently comparing old and new ACR rifles.  I think the new one had some QC issues.

I don't think names in that arena mean anything anymore, unless the names are BCM, DD, and other top tier manufacturers.
I wouldn't pay any more for the Bushmaster or DPMS name than I would for a Palmetto Arms.

I feel the same way. 

I got an AR pistol upper from PSA recently.  I was surprised at how good the fit and finish was.  Haven't shot it yet.

Eh, no loss. It's a saturated market and they weren't particularly well done for their price point anyhoo.

I came across some Bushmaster rifles on ClassicFirearms.com.  The ACR carbines they have are in 450 Bushmaster.  They still have some other Bushmaster rifles in stock.
