I think the polymer keeps the price down, allowing more people to own one. If price doesn't bother you than buy a real AR and practice with .223 instead of 22lr, or get a dedicated upper.

I like it! Thanks for posting the pics! I think that the polymer would be fine on a .22LR rifle. There is a polymer AR that shoots .223 out there by somebody...I just forget who.

Bushmaster puts out a 'Carbon-15' rifle made out of some type of plastic/polymer/carbon fiber/whatever.

Yup, and they are unreliable jokes, if not handgrenades. There is incident after incident of them dramatically failing and even injuring the shooter. Bushmaster should be ashamed. At least Cav. seems to have gotten it right. Personally, I just don't like the feel of an all polymer AR. They feel too light and too much like a "toy". That said, I wouldn't buy one even if it were aluminum simply because it is not a "real" AR and the parts interchangability is not there. While this rifle may be fun, I'd rather have a dedicated AR system that feels similar to the real deal.

Bushmaster Carbon?

All I can say is WOW......

I didn't say anything about the quality of the polymers used. They may be space shuttle grade, but that doesn't change the fact that I don't like 'em. I don't know why you're hassling me about this. You posted about a gun and I responded that I don't care for polymer ARs, and I wasn't hostile or negative about it. Why you are taking this so personal is beyond me. You really need to either grow up, or calm down, I'm not sure wich.

I'm willing to bet 90% of this thread could have been nullified with a carefully placed smiley face.

If people want to keep it on-topic the thread will certainly stay open.
