Bushmaster Carbon 15

Picked one up for $320 brand new! Waiting for my upgrades to come in before i take it to the range!

This is the same version that i got from PSA about 4 years ago. A2 front sight YHM rear sight and m4 profile barrel. 512 bucks to my door. Have purchased a separate aluminum upper, barrel nut, just in case. no problems so far.

haven't had a problem with mines

my rail finally came loose from the upper receiver bushmaster will fix it if you send them the whole gun but I just bought a new BCM upper and a standard barrel nut problem fixed!

Forward assist and dust covers are not necessary. The groove in the bolt will allow you to push the bolt forward if necessary…

I had two of the original Professional Ordnance Carbon 15 rifles and they were unreliable junk. Damn shame because they were so cool. Switched to a Bushmaster V-Match and that ran like a sewing machine.

Nice video a friend of me he is with our local police dept and the bought a few off the bushmaster carbon 15 and the have no issues at all with them I think I get me one soon

I just picked one up for under 500. Couldn't pass it up… Thanks for the review!

Did you put on the heavy barrel? Mine has the pencil barrel and I want to change it out.

Recently bought my Carbon 15 and really enjoy it but when I was getting a new sight the local gun shop owner was telling me I was foolish to buy a carbon version because ALL of then ha==end up with the stock threads stripping out. Now this guy is one of those "I'm right your wrong, period" types so I was looking for some others that have had or heard of this issue. Looking at all the youtube videos I haven't found any yet so thought I'd start asking.

i handled 1 a week ago at my local gun shop and fell in love …the weight is [or lack of] is amazing ..ive heard of issues with accuracy but after watching the reviews have decided it was most likely a bad barrel or bad shoter…thanks for the review …ill be headed out to purchase myself 1 before the end of the month !!

Has anyone tested the 5.56 rounds alot and see if the chamber pressure is too much to handle or not

Just got mine this past weekend $725 w/a red dot. So far just fired a mag full and shot fine. I like the lite weight.

Yes mine came with the front site. Some have the thinner barrel, I believe those don't come with a sight. Thanks for watching!!

Did urs came with the front sight or u put that on after u got the the rifle?

I just got my Carbon 15 today and only paid $699 minus tax for mine at Dunhams. Though I might change out the front handguard with a Military issue quad rail since I have a foregrip/bipod I want to attach. And I know a guy in the National Guard who can hook me up with the rail since he is the one who gave me the foregrip/bipod.

Actually they are, kind of. The increased barrel pressure of the 5.56 can wear away at a 223 specific barrel over time, but a 223 put through a 5.56 chambered weapon is like putting a high powered pellet through a twenty two. No issue.

I've worked out the kinks since posting :3

5.56 is 223

Have you tried or use Tulammo? How well did it do with cheap ammo?

Does this come in 223? I've been doing research all damn day to find a good 223 rifle that my family unanimously agreed on and this looks like the right one.

@mbarlow85 I have used all different brands with no issues. I wouldn't. recommend steel cased ammo becouse of feeding issues. Thanks for watching!!

I have one of these. I love it. But the BARREL NUT is not standard at all. The threads are diifferent and the inner diameter is slightly larger. The OUTER diameter is about the same. So that makes the nut a bit thinner too. These differences are good to know if you make a custom gun like i did. My C15 is now PISTON DRIVEN by an Adams Arms kit. I had to do a few mods. The upper and lower receivers do not have milspec measurements. I had to mill/file sometimes..

It is an inexpensive quad rail I purchased off ebay. I painted the spaces between the rails.

Yes it is. You will be very happy with it.

What kind of rail did you put on it?

I believe yours has what they call the pencil barrel. They are a great gun that gets a bad wrap. It has been my experience that most the bashing comes from people who do not even own the carbon 15 and have had no experience with them. Thanks for watching!!
