    Default Bushmaster's Carbon 15 AR

    Whilst perusing retail ads for their weekly gun deals, I came across Gander Mountain's ad and they have listed a Bushmaster AR, a Carbon 15. They listed it on sale for $649, down from a regular price of $699. This means, of course, that one could purchase it from a sanely-priced retailer for probably $600.

    WTF is this thing? Why is it so cheap? Has anyone heard of it? Does it have any issues?

    I'm not a fan of .223, but at this price it might be crazy not to buy one.

    ...if it's any good.

    The upper and lower receiver on the Carbon 15 are made of polymer. AKA Plastic. Now its not a cheap plastic, but its still plastic. Ive seen and heard of them breaking on the threads for the barrel nut, the front pivot pin, and the threads for the buffer tube. Id stay away. You can build a budget AR for about that much.

    If you don't know how to spell "caliber" you should probably not talk about how other people are faggots and instead indulge yourself with some typical British nightlife...

    I saw horror stories about the Carbon when I first looked it up. From what I read, though, it sounds like as soon as Bushmaster started making it (taken over from Professional Ordnance) these problems were corrected, and Bushmaster has some pretty good service if it still fails.

    Yeah, but I'm lazy...

    Now that you've shown your true colours through your verbal diarrhoea, insulting my homosexually british behaviour, I must ask you to retain the remainder of your honour and cease making an arse of yourself.

    also make sure whatever gun you purchase contains sufficient aluminium

    I saw 'faggot' and ran with it, fitting that much britfag into one post isn't easy.

    If it holds one round and takes more than 60 seconds to reload, youre probably a faggot.
