Opinions On Bushmaster Carbon 15 9mm

[mlehtovaara]

I have seen mixed reviews online. Some guys saying they brake, and the upper isn't strong enough. Others saying they have had em for years with no issues. I am thinking about the 9mm so I would think it is a little less recoil then the .223 if that means anything. I know there is no forward assist but I don't need it at the range. Any owners out there know anything about em?
I ask because my cousin offered me one for $1000 bucks. He just got married and is sellling all his toys. I plan on pickin up a few of them.
Thanks

No expert here but I saw pictures of split uppers on the .223 version. Some say that the 9mm as a blowback has, perhaps, more recoil. I recall seeing those for about a grand new, but with mags, go for it.

My shooting buddy owns one, weights next to nothing especially compares to my XCR, I had no problem hit clays out to a 100, only issue he has is feeding with shorter 20 round mags that is pinned to 5.

If you a shooter not a gear head, than it's a great platform to own for $1000.

I've had 2 of the 9mm's-both great guns, no issues, for that price you can't go wrong for a pistol calibre carbine

The 9mm pistol is a blowback and is flawless in function. The only issue is that you run out of 9mm real fast. For a grand its a steal.

I owned one and loved it. It can be used in our indoor range and this alone make it worthwhile. Very accurate for such a small barrel. It is easy to maintain and I had absolutely no issue with it. I sold it because I was assigned overseas.

Will buy another one !!
