Please use the Serial Number lookup tool to check your that the serial number of your Bushmaster ACR is within the recall notice. If your serial number qualifies follow the instructions given. Rock River Arms, Inc. Offers a complete line of American made, custom built AR15 style rifles. I didn't pay any attention when I bought it but when I went to record it for my records I noticed my other two Bushmaster Lowers have a serial number starting with BFSxxxxxxx (7 numbered serial number. The lower I just bought has a serial number of L153xxx.(6 numbered serial number) I am trying to identify age.

Bushmaster Firearmsjust issued a recall on the ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) semi-auto tactical 5.56x45mm NATO (5.56mm NATO)/.223 Rem. carbine in the form of a scanned image converted to PDF file format, which The Firearm Blog has been kind enough to convert to text for all of us.
