Hey Guys,
Question, I have a Bushmaster Carbon fiber Lower off a 223. I was thinking of putting a 7.62 upper on it. From what I've read I THINK it will fit. Does anyone know for sure.? Also will that lower handle the stress from a 7.62 upper. I've Asked Bushmaster STILL waiting on a response...,


Thanks

I assume you mean a 7.62 x 39.  If so, it will techincally handle it.  If you google "broken carbon 15" you will look at many pictures to make you sell that thing.

If by some stretch, you mean .308, the answer is no.  Different lower altogether.

Personally, if I had to own a Carbon 15, it would only house a .22LR upper.  

Good luck

Thanks. I think I will take your advise. This Lower is the result of a Carbon 15 upper failing.
