*SOLD* Bushmaster Carbon-15 5.56 NATO Black 16.5" *LIGHTWEIGHT VARMINT RIFLE*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Bushmaster Carbon-15 rifle in 5.56 NATO is a lightweight, modern sporting rifle built around a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer receiver, a key design feature that sets it apart from traditional AR-15-style platforms. Originally developed by Professional Ordnance before the design was acquired by Bushmaster, the Carbon-15 takes inspiration from the Colt AR-15 but incorporates advanced materials to significantly reduce overall weight without compromising durability. This particular model features a 16.5-inch barrel capped with a birdcage flash hider, maintaining effective muzzle control while preserving a sleek and maneuverable profile. It's paired with a Burris MTAC 1x-4x scope, giving users the flexibility of both close-quarters and medium-range target engagement.
The rifle’s ergonomics are enhanced with a telescoping buttstock, textured pistol grip, and a ribbed polymer handguard, offering a secure and comfortable handling experience in a variety of shooting conditions. The semi-automatic action is reliable and smooth, making the Carbon-15 an excellent choice for tactical training, recreational shooting, or even varmint control. The lightweight carbon fiber construction makes the rifle especially suitable for extended carry or situations where agility and mobility are key. Though Bushmaster is no longer producing these models, the Carbon-15 remains a notable evolution in AR-platform rifles, appreciated for its innovative use of materials and solid performance. It's a testament to the blend of classic military-inspired design with forward-thinking engineering.
