[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2003944, member: 8377"] If you want durable then stay away from the carbon 15. While some will argue that composite lower receivers have their place, very few will argue for composite uppers. I am saying this having owned a carbon 15 in the past, and while it was enjoyable and light, it was not something I would recommend to anyone, ever. The best mags for the ar platform that I have used are 30 rd. magpul pmags, followed by G.I. aluminum 30 rd. mags with the magpul follower. To answer any better than this I would have to know what you intend to use the rifle for, under what type of conditions, and an approximate budget. Keep in mind that better rifles than Bushmaster are available for the same or slightly more cash. [/QUOTE]
