Hi all,

Any have any reliability reports on the Carbon 15 rifles under the Bushmaster label? I'd like to think Bushmaster wouldn't have started pushing them out if they hadn't cleared up the reliability issues....

Thanks!

I owned one when the original company built them.

I couldnt get mine to shoot worth a crap, ended up selling it at a heavy loss

Don't know if there are significant improvements or not. I have one of the Prof Ord models that broke rather severely. Bushmaster honored the warranty and fixed it virtually overnight. I've only test-fired one magazine since the repair, but it seems to function better than ever before. The repair order they sent back with it seems to indicate replacment of some parts that were not broken (at least during this episode), so maybe they have made some improvements. Time will tell.

I can't say enough about how fast and efficient their warranty service was.

I paid $1k for a Carbon type 97 pistol when they came out.

It had a very tight chamber, and would jam on reloads. The jam was so tight that I could not clean it with all my strength. It had to be pounded open.

The gun was the loudest thing I have ever shot.

I could never hit anything with it.

I shot it 4 times and sold it for $600.

Very bad taste left in it's absence.

Is this BM Carbon 15 the upper and lower receivers for an AR-15 made out of carbon fiber? Hey, it might work great for the brake rotors on Formula 1 cars, but who would want it in such a high-stress situation as a firearm that only gets used a few times a year? I'd certainly never risk it...
