That his Carbon-15 is a plastic piece of shit and he should get an AR15 with an aluminum receiver, without being rude?  |

That his Carbon-15 is a plastic piece of shit and he should get an AR15 with an aluminum receiver, without being rude? Show him this picture. This happened at the other of end of the firing line one day last year. Guys first AR that his "friend" built for him, never made it past the first mag.

If he is a friend, don't worry about being rude. He's dumb about it though. He actually talks/brags about how "good" it is. Because it's "so light" and such.  |

Quoted: I would just say, be careful I've heard many horror stories about the lowers breaking. I wasn't even thinking about that. I just got the impression it's a fucking pile of garbage by shooting it, holding it in my hands, and seeing how different it feels compared to inserting a magazine into it vs a real AR15 lower receiver. |

He'll probably want to get another one and he'll see the light then. Unless he likes holding plastic. |

I wouldn't have any problems telling a friend that their rifle is a POS. Actually, I probably wouldn't let them buy one in the firs place
IMHO, it's better to come off as a dick at first and go ahead and nip the "new guy" tendencies in the butt early on than to just let it slide and end up with a disappointed friend when his plastic AR breaks. |

A friend of mine had one, and the pistol grip screw threads stripped out when he was changing the pistol grip. Bushmaster replaced the lower...after a 6 month wait. |

Have him hold a Colt. The last Colt I shot was a colossal piece of shit. My 6920 is every bit as good as any AR-15 I've used as far as function. Never had a single malfunction or anything out of it. I do kind of prefer my BCM though.

Some folks just feel the need to be different.
You know the guy- He drives a Dodge instead of a Chevy , owns a M&P instead of a Glock , prefers the 9 over a 45. (anybody else I can piss off?  )
Don't worry about it , he will get tired of it or break it , or just keep on using it to piss you off , not like he is walking around with his dick hanging out of his pants. Give him a few hints if you must then leave it alone |

If your AR mated with a G36... |

The Carbon 15 was my first AR15. Never had a single issue with it and it shoots great. I since have another standard one, but nothing at all wrong with the Bushymaster Carbon 15. And begins the next 12 pages of bitching. I suppose now is a good time to start boozing. |
