Overview
The Carbon 15 line is closely based on the Colt AR-15 design. They are distinguished by their carbon fiber construction, which provides an extremely lightweight frame. The Carbon 15 line are generally chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO/.223 Remington, however, there are also 9×19mm Parabellum versions of the pistol and carbine.[citation needed]
In early 2009, Bushmaster began to include the dust cover and forward assist in their Carbon-15 M4 rifles.[citation needed]
