Anyone have any experience with these non metallic receivers? Pros or cons ? I'm thinking about a purchase. Thank guys, from a newbie.

Thanks, I hope to hear from him. There must not be many carbon 15's out there as I have posted on another forum and have no responses during the first day. Says something good about this one. Yeah

No, I'm not sure there are any good deals, but I will be doing a lot of price checking before I buy.

No, no purchase yet. Thanks for the post as I will rely on guys like you to help me decide if I want a carbon 15. I like the idea of light weight, but wonder about target acquisition after each round is fired.

if the price is the same and your not gonna be carrying it around alot id go for the standard ar-15. thats just my opinion though ive never handled or shot a carbon 15.
