So bushmaster was a quality AR company, and when bushmaster was purchased the buyer wanted the name only so the employees ponied up and purchased the tooling and physical site and opened windham. I have never seen one in the wild but I assume if they’re anything like the old bushmasters were then you’re good to go and acquired a high quality rifle.

Windam Arms was the resurrection of the AR manufacturing business by the original founder of Bushmaster in Maine. I live in Maine and have seen many of their rifles for sale; mostly on 308 or 5.56 and 7.62 x 39 would be a rare one from them, quite possibly a collector's item. Unfortunately they simply couldn't compete on a fairly flooded market niche of mostly similar products even though they did try some innovative customizations like wood components. I would place them as a quality tier AR, a step above mass-produced consumer-grade ones. I've shot one of their xx 308s and thought it was a very good well-made gun.
