OK decided this week I will pull the trigger on a new AR shorty, but cant decide between the Smith and wesson Flattop or the Bushmaster Flattop. Both have basically the same right down to twist in barell so what one?

Smith and Wesson all day - any day - every day....Built to a standard unseen by Bushmaster...

there are brand whores in every product. ford vs chevy etc. i have had several bushmasters and still have 2 m4's they are good rifles. now i personally don't buy assembled rifles. i like to build exactly what i want.

There certainly are, but this is not a Ford/Chevy type of comparison....Comparing a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 to a Bushmaster, is a bit like comparing a Ford Mustang GT to a Chevy Cavalier....Both cars run, but the Mustang is built to a different standard, (obviously). Handle the two side-by side. Look at the differences in overall build quality,
internals, barrels, accuracy, fit, form, function...Blindfolded, you can tell the difference. The Smith and Wesson is a superior weapon in every way, shape and form - end of story. Bushmaster owners may indeed have a rifle that "runs great", but Smith and Wesson owners have a rifle that "is great"... Truth hurts...
the machineshop i worked at previously cut upper recievers for Bushmaster, Colt, Smith, some Stag and Remington. all were cut on the same machine with the same program and the same colt print.

That statement is total nonsense...You haven't a clue as to what you're talking about....
Well Range report on it is fantastic. The Smith is really a sweet ride. At 200 yds it held 2 moa with cheep PMC. I am thrilled at how this rifle is fit and finnished. Seems to be a keeper.
