Bushmaster Acr Serial Number Lookup
Bushmaster Firearms 1816 Remington Circle SW Huntsville, AL 35824. Consumer Service Phone: 1-800-883-6229 Email: bushmasterrepairs@remington.com Mon-Fri 9:00 AM -5:00 PM Eastern. Owner's Manuals BFI Owner's Manual.450 Rifle & Carbine XM15 BA50 ACR Carbon 22 9mm Rifle. I have a bushmaster from mid 2006 and the serial # starts with BFI 4XXXXX. Yours has a letter after BFI but before the numbers which is a little different than mine but both start with BFI. I'm pretty sure the L prefix came before the BFI prefix. I have checked around and i don't think there is any data base you can easily look up on the internet. I decided to call Bushmaster today and was told by them that they started up a second factory to produce AR15s due to high demand. The new serial numbers were produced last fall at the new production facility. The older L series are still being produced at the original facility. So now you can get a Bushy with either prefix.
