Bushmaster carbon 15 exploded today!!
My bud and I were at angeles today, I had my 03 springfield and my savage 110 blaster and he had his cali bushmaster carbon 15 and his HS precision .308. My bud only buys the best available when it comes to all things firearms, that said, he bought the busmaster before learning about calguns and OLL's. Today he was shooting away without a care in the world , I was sitting on his right and had just gotten up to clean my savage when I hear "holy sh&t, dude, check this out!", I turn around and everyone is staring at my bud who is standing over his now 50 plus piece AR15!. The upper had just exploded and took out the lower, the scope broke off and hit the deck, his magazine had exploded downward and destroyed 5 or so rounds, even the handguard looked puffy!. Then I see a guy 4 benches down walk over and lift his shirt to reveal a nice bruise where part of the receiver hit him (scared the little guy pretty good, he thought he got shot). There were 3 holes in the screen (brass deflector) where the receiver blew apart. I have never seen a rifle disassemble itself like this, it was really sad. Any of us would have loved the rifle, it had all the tasty bits on it, not cooter but classy. If I had not gotten up to clean my rifle, I would probably be sitting in a waiting room with a bloody rag on my left ear telling the story!. I hope bushmaster stands by their products.
OK Ted, here goes:

I guess we can't complain too much about the range master being a nazi for safety glasses anymore. Any idea what ammo was being used?

Dam, that makes me scared to take mine out. Especially because I just changed the gas block. My Carbon 15 has never malfunctioned and I am 100% sure I put everything together correctly and now you got me worrying.
Had he done anything to it? What kind of ammo was he using?

No, this thread isn't worthless without pics, BUT, it is worthless without some more information about the ammunition being fired (reloads, commercial, etc) and whether the gun has ever been modified or messed with (trigger assembly, etc); whether it was being bumpfired or operated in some other negligent manner (maybe fired out of battery).

yea, what he said, federal am eagle. It was being bench fired and the bolt assembly and upper are mechanically stock, no trick parts, just a slick hand guard. The bolt was awesome and just inspected by a pro. Sorry about the lack of pics, my bud took some shots at the range at my insistence,and will submit them to bushmaster first. Sorry. I want to make sure they don't feel slammed in public as were hoping they make good on their product.
