My boss and I often discuss our love for guns, and he had been telling me about this carbon AR-15 that he's had for quite a while. Though some of you may know all about it, I had never seen one.
When he was talking about this carbon AR, I just assumed the stock, handguard, and maybe a few other little parts were made of carbon. I was wrong.
Well, be brought it in today. It ended up being a Professional Ordnance Carbon 15, with a carbon fiber upper and lower receiver, stock and handguard. It also had a stainless fluted barrel and quick release flash hider. Everything was super lightweight. I think the whole thing weighs in at about 4.5 pounds. Amazing.
He said that most of the reviews were on the negative side. Something about FTF's and FTE's, I think. Maybe something about the handguard getting warm as well. Hell, I can't remember--I was to amazed with how light it was. He claims to have put several hundred rounds through it, without a single issue. I don't know if all the negative reviews are justified, but that thing sure was bada$$.
