You won't have any trouble finding used barrels around here. I have a few extra. None are in excellent condition on the exterior, though. The Phantom frame will not fit but the Phantom ".45" style grip assembly does I think. I can check out one of mine if no one posts the answer here first. I love my Bushmasters. If it has a 12 gram changer on it with a lever style action, just send me that useless attachment...

The only drawback that I've noticed is that it doesn't have a pump spring return as the LAPCO Grey Ghosts and many Phantoms. It isn't a big deal and shouldn't stop you from buying one. We'll help with any troubleshooting issues or questions you might have. You do need to post a photo of it after you get it!

I&I is usually pretty quick on shipping the few times I've bought stuff form them. And if Bacci doesn't have it, check with SugarStump, he's got the time machine he uses to go back in The Day to buy items and brings 'em back to us.

I had read somewhere where a player who lives close to ICD dropped by for some parts and saw on a whiteboard that a pump Bushmaster was in the works again?

I contacted the guy this morning and we sealed the deal. Here is a link to the thread where I found it...

I already placed my order at i&i for the parts I needed. I'll get better pics up once everything is at my door.

Theres a guy on AO (I have a feeling Shartley's going to appear with his name here) who widens the bores of threaded barrels to accept freak backs. It's only like $30, and if you can't find a barrel, that may be a good call.

It might be luke. I doubt it's Tuna or Rogue. I'll check into it. Thanks again for all the help. Keep it coming, the more info I know the better.

Niiice. Looks to be an original Line SI Bushmaster, not a later model SI or ICD one since it has the three scres to hold the ASA and not one screw. Great snag!

You know, for some reason I never considered getting my Bushmasters barrels bored for Freak inserts. Hmmm, have to look into that.

[minimag03]

Did ICD not make all of the Bushmasters? What was the differences between the two? I always thought they were the same.

Here is a link to the Freak boring. I'm looking into that and I also found a guy with Palmer, BOA, and a Carter barrel for it.

Line SI was the original gun, then they were sold to ICD (if I remember correctly). When ICD took over, the guns weren't quite as good as the original ones due to tolerances, but were still pretty good for a pump gun. May B or ChefDave will chime in on the history?
