Professional Ordnance Carbon 15 Type 97
5.56x45mm / AR15 Variant / Pistol

PRODUCT VIEW HERE

Bushmaster bought Professional Ordnance out some time ago. I have a PO piece, but the review applies to both since they're identical items.

Made of carbon fiber, this lightweight AR15 variant in pistol form weighs less than your standard 1911 when it lacks the standard 30 round AR mag.

The hard chromed fluted barrel and hard chromed modified AR bolt clean up easy (can't see the barrel under the hand guard, though).

The buffer tube isn't a standard piece, but a unique shorter red aluminum cap piece. This reduces the overall length of the bolt carrier / buffer assembly.

The dual (top of receiver/barrel and bottom of barrel) 1913 rail forearm provide ample room to mount optics, lights, etc.

It takes all AR mags, grips, optics, lights, and any other rail mounted accessories.

It features a single point attachment on the buffer tube plate for a sling.

Trigger pull was good at roughly 6 lbs. By no means a match grade piece.

The accuracy was astounding at 50' given the small size and light weight.

The recoil was minimal, the muzzle flash and noise was insane... like a flashbang going off in the range with every pull of the trigger.

Fun gun.
