Does anyone have one of theseCarbon 15 Pistol ? I bought one around 8 months ago and it has been a jam-o-matic. It usually only shoots 1 round and then jams. I guess I need to send this into Bushmaster. Is their customer service good? I sent a Glock in for the "Upgrade" and they were great. Glock even sent me a check for my UPS costs. Will Bushmaster py for shipping both ways? I would bring it back to the dealer I bought it from but he went out of buisness. Any thoughts on what may be causing problems with this pistol?
 
I watched a guy try to shoot one once. He wasn't having much luck.

The only AR pitol I have seen that will run is an Olympic.

I guess only they know the secret to getting it to work with the gas block so close to the muzzle.
 
I've had 2. 1st one was a type 97. It was purchased when original manufacturer of the gun owned the company. It jammed, it also ripped case heads off upon extraction. Sent it back for service and note said chamber mod's were made. Took it to the range and it jammed and ripped case heads off. Sold it. A couple years later same company came out with less expensive models 19 and 20 I believe. Like an idiot I bought a model 19 believing they must of improved it. This one had a non stainless blackened steel barrel that the finish peeled off of after about 200 shots and 50 jams. But case heads stayed intact. Since mounting a forward pistol grip was illegal at that time. (is it now?) I had problems with gripping mag chute for forward grip. It seemed awkward. Since I was having jam problems again I sold the second gun (the model 19) also.
