Can someone recommend options for my C15 (optics, sites, rails, ammo, etc)
Thanks, Frank |

Prepare for the inevitable punishment that will soon be dished out by the crowd here....
The popular consensus will be to sell the gun and purchase a PSA (or similar). The Carbon-15 is supremely frowned upon. If selling and purchasing another isn't an option, I'd invest in a quality red dot (aimpoint/eotech/trij), and ammo. Check out the Bushnell TRS-25 or Vortex Strikefire, too. |

Don't feel bad. I'm also a recent C15 buyer. But I got mine for a pretty good price and I don't plan on doing much more than plinking and target practice, plus it's not one of my top 5 HD guns. I've picked up 4 Magpul magazines and 2 BM mags and they work fine. Depending on what you plan to use the gun for, there are some BM handguard upgrades that'll give you additional picatinny rails. As far as the OE RedDot that came with mine, it's a cheap, Hammers 1x32. However, I've sighted it in at 50 yards and I'm happy with 2" and the occasional 3" groupings; good enough for my needs. I intend on adding a light but that's proabably as much as I'll do to this AR. I may keep my eyes out for something a bit more... "accepted"... by the forum community for my wife. I've only shot American Eagle AE223J and a little bit of Federal Fusion MSR since I bought the gun but should have some other NATO ammo arriving monday. Not a single issue but it's only been about 100 rounds in 2 range trips. |

Will need to free float if you wish to add a front iron on the rail.
12" VTAC rail: HERE $190 Magpul MBUS front: HERE $40 Magpul MBUS rear: HERE $58 Primary Arms/Bushnell TRS25 and mount: HERE $115 There are other brands/types to look at, but the above fits your budget. Also, check out the EE section, as you can find some good deals in there from other forum members. You may (or may not) need to remove the bayonet lug, I've not used one. |
