Bushmaster BFC-15 Varminter 5.56mm NATO AR-15 • California Compliant • 24" Fluted Stainless Bull Barrel
This Bushmaster BFC-15 Varminter is a purpose-built, California-compliant AR-15 that combines match-grade accuracy features with a limited three-year Ilion, New York production run (2011–2014). Its 24-inch, 416 stainless, longitudinal-fluted bull barrel and hybrid .223 Wylde-style chamber make it a strong option for precision-minded shooters who want reliable performance with both 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem. rounds. A forged 7075-T6 receiver set, free-float vented handguard, and tool-operated bullet-button magazine release complete the package.

- 4 × 10-round Magpul PMAG GEN M3 polymer magazines (5.56×45 NATO)
The heart of this rifle is its 24-inch bull barrel: fluted for weight reduction and faster cooling, crafted from 416 stainless steel for extended life, and finished with a recessed crown to protect the rifling. The 1:9 twist rate stabilizes a broad range of varmint and target bullets.
The forged 7075-T6 upper and lower receivers wear a hard-coat anodized matte-black finish. The lower is the California-designated BFC-15 variant that uses a fixed-magazine architecture and a bullet-button device. Releasing the magazine requires a tool or cartridge tip inserted into the button—fully compliant with California regulations.
A free-float vented aluminum tube handguard keeps barrel stress to a minimum and includes a forward sling/bipod stud. The flat-top upper offers a full-length Picatinny rail ready for optics, while the rifle ships without iron sights to let you choose your preferred glass.
Furniture includes a six-position collapsible stock, a Magpul MOE pistol grip, and a standard charging handle. The direct-impingement action cycles reliably with 5.56 NATO or .223 Rem. ammunition, and the 10+1 capacity meets state limits while still giving you four PMAG GEN M3 magazines to keep you shooting.
