1 weapons

Bushmaster Firearms International represents the modern Bushmaster brand after the Remington Outdoor Company bankruptcy breakup. The official Bushmaster site describes the current business as based in Carson City, Nevada, and as an American manufacturer and distributor whose product line centers on semi-automatic pistol and rifle variants of the M4 / AR-15 design.

The revived company sells current Bushmaster firearms, parts, dealer support, Police & Military pages, manuals, and warranty support through its public site. Its own serial-number FAQ separates the Nevada-era operation from earlier Bushmaster markings in Windham, Maine, Ilion, New York, and Huntsville, Alabama, and notes that historical serial-number information did not transfer completely when the Bushmaster name was purchased and established in Nevada.

Public reporting ties the 2020 transfer to Remington's bankruptcy auction. Guns.com reported that Nevada-based Franklin Armory won Bushmaster trademarks, websites, social-media pages, historic commercial data, and technical data packages for numerous Bushmaster-branded firearms. American Rifleman subsequently described Franklin Armory Holdings' acquisition and Bushmaster's 2021 rollout of Bravo Zulu AR-15 models alongside its M4-style carbine line.

Public sources separate the legacy Maine, Remington-era, and Nevada-era Bushmaster businesses unevenly. The current Bushmaster site says historical serial-number information did not fully transfer when the name was purchased and established in Nevada, so older production details are limited to well-supported location and ownership milestones.
