Went to the range today to enjoy a rare 60 degree day in December, after the first part of the month set records for cold and snow.
Played with a Norinco MAK-90 that reminded my why I am an AK-nut, that thing was right on target.
Ran the first rounds through a FrankenBeretta that I built. There are at least 8 different firearms that gave parts for this soft shooting, very accurate beast.
And then there was my Carbon-15. It has always been a fun rifle at the range, because it draws so much attention due to it's light weight. It is also very accurate and until today very reliable.
Now remember, this could happen to any AR variant, so no flames please about the Carbon-15 because at least until this, mine has been a model of what a firearm should be.
Behold the bolt!
When I took it apart I expected to find the firing pin bent, but it checked ok. In fact all other parts checked out fine, so I just need a new bolt.
About the only thing that bothered me is that this rifle has only fired about 3000 rounds, so that bolt should not have broken, but being made of metal, anything is possible, but it did get my attention for another thing to check every time I clean any of my ARs.
