The Carbon 15's safety levers have color-coded markings on both sides of the receiver for quick visual check of firing condition.

This little lite weight filly can kick as hard as her big brothers. After about 700 rounds I've had no FTE's or any other issues. Plus, you can run with it like it isn't there. Don't be afraid of the carbon, it doesn't build up burrs due to sand and dirt. It's pretty much self lubricating and needs no maintenance. That does not mean you don't clean. One caution: I would not suggest free floating because.. (1) The barrel nut is not standard threads. (2)If you can hit a paper plate at 500 meters with this weapon like I have, why would you want to ?? I'm holding 2" groups at 200 with it. Buy it, shoot it, clean it and have some fun. Hope this helps. - Semper Fi

Bought it a month ago and left it in the safe for a couple weeks due to work schedule and last week i mount the red dot and notice there was a loose piece in side the AR. Took it apart and the buffer retainer was making the nose and the spring where under the hammer. The buffer tube wasn't place far enough to hold the retainer. After that i took it to the range and fire 100 5.56 round and work fine. The AR wasn't defective. I just got one of those AR that was made on a Friday night.

            At a time when a person can't find this rifle in stock and when you do, it's marked up twice the value, it's nice getting it at this price.

              for the price great gun,the scpoe is a no name cheap toy.but I knew that going forward with my purchase.very light weight almost feels like a toy,thin barrel does get a little warm when your shooting at the range but if you use it for deer hunting its so light you can carry it all day and not even know you have it on you!the ad for the gun says bushnell red dot but mine came with a no name like I said earlier.still very happy with the gun,I wish I would have bought one last year when it was $100 cheaper.

                  I WAS VERY RELUNTANT WHEN I PICKED THIS RIFLE UP FROM THE STORE. I GOT IT HOME, INSTALLED SCOPE AND LOADED MAGAZINE AND WENT OUTSIDE TO FIRE IT. TO MY SURPRISE, IT WAS SITED IN ON 2 ROUNDS AND THEN EMPTIED THE CLIP AS FAST AS IS COULD. ALL ROUNDS WERE ON TARGET AND WOULD HAVE BEEN CENTER MASS. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED THIS LIGHT WEIGHT HAD NO MORE KICK THAN IT DOES AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT ON TARGET.

                    Is this firearm chambered for the 5.56 or .223? I know that either one can be fired, but because of the higher case pressures of the 5.56, it is not safe to fire them in a gun originally chambered for the .223.

                      It only comes with the red dot. Mil spec 1913 picitinny rail on top & none on the for grip. I changed the grip to a Magpull with picitinny rail and added flip up rear & front sights. The red dot is a PO junk but good enough for the range. Figure on getting a better on eventually but it's fun for plinking with that hard to find expensive ammo. START RELOADING!

                      It has top rails with standard round front foregrips.

                      No, the foregrips are not picatinny style. The foregrips are old school military style...no ability to mount anything to the foregrip.
