I'm pretty sure that Professional Ordnance is outta business. You'd have a hard time getting replacement parts as some of them were proprietary.

It's down a ways on the list.

They're out of business, and the Pro-Ord carbines and pistols are rather prone to jams. To bad such a good concept was so poorly executed.

Olympic Arms makes one called the OA-98 the following is a descripton from their website http:www.olyarms.com
The ONLY AR-style pistol using aluminum forgings, and all metal parts (except for the pistol grip) that has a removable magazine. The )A-98 is able to use any mil-spec AR-style mag. All weight has been removed in non-critical areas to ensure safety and strength.
All lower parts are standard AR-style parts, and are interchangeable with other standard GI (non-Colt's) parts. The upper is a modified component that contains the famous OA-series recoil system that eliminates the need for a buffer tube or standard recoil system of any type. There is virtually no recoil due to the gas-op OA style system, but it still packs the punch of the .223 Remington centerfire rifle cartridge. If you have any questions, please e-mail our info line. Features include:
Button cut light barrel, 6.5" OAL, 1x9" twist
No buffer tube
Detachable magazine
Uses standard AR lower parts and bolt
Weight: 48 oz
Length: 15 3/4"
MSRP $1020.00
NOW AVAILABLE!!
Check out the picture of it.

ANYONE HAVE COMMENTS FOR THE BUSHMASTER VERSION OF THIS GUN? These carbon15s look spiffy and fun 
do they malfunction alot, or are they reliable?

those things look fun and practical.
although perhaps this would be better in the rifle forum?

They should be just as reliable as any Bushmaster rifle or carbine. They're basically the same thing, just with very short barrel upper, and without a stock.
With that said, I love my Bushmaster AR-15.

I've got the Bushmaster and two Kel Tec PLR-16 .223 pistols.
If you want a .223 pistol get the PLR.
100 yards, standing, rapid fire.
PLR bench rest.

The Bushmaster and first PLR required a little break in.
I believe most of the trouble I had with the AR and first PLR (which was very little) was caused by using Wolf ammo and a couple new magazines that were rubbing on the bottom of the bolt carrier.
I didn't use Wolf in the second PLR and it was totally reliable right out of the box. (Kel Tec says not to use Wolf in any Kel Tec guns)
I no longer use Wolf and all three guns are reliable.
Now if I have a jam it's caused by the brass I've reloaded too many times or a bad magazine.
I'm not knocking the Bushmaster but the Kel Tec has it beat in almost every way.
The KT costs about half as much.
The barrel is 2 inches longer so the muzzle velocity is greater. WWB is 2296fps in BM and 2514 in the PLR.
The PLR is very accurate. I haven't shot the BM at 100 yards much but it doesn't seem as accurate.
The BM uses the AR gas operating system, very dirty.
The PLR uses IMO a excellent modified AK type piston and AR type bolt. The action and bolt stays clean.
Accessories like slings and muzzle brakes/flash hiders are easy to attach to the PLR.
Personally I like the plastic material the PLR is built with better than the Carbon fiber material.
IMO the PLR is a good looking gun and I call my Bushmaster my "Paint Ball Gun". (I still like the BM but I wouldn't buy another one)
Kel Tec has a lifetime warranty on their guns and they stand behind it.

Almost all my magazines are aluminum mil spec that I buy new at gun shows for $10-$15.
The 30 round mags work fine but I mostly use the 20 round.
By the time I've shot 20 rounds I'm usually ready to quit.
BTW, if you haven't seen this, it's the PLR being shot without a flash hider.
And the Bushmaster pistol.
