Carbon Fiber 15 material offers incredible durability, strength and ultra-light weight. Unlike its bigger brothers the C1522LR is chambered for the economical .22 Long Rifle Rimfire cartridge, and operates in a semi-automatic blowback mode. All operational controls of this new rifle (charging handle; safety lever; bolt catch; magazine release and trigger) are functionally and ergonomically identical to all AR15 type rifles/carbines – making this Bushmaster C1522LR an ideal training arm for developing skills with the AR15 type system. In addition to that training advantage, this little lightweight is a ball to shoot, and the .22 Rimfire ammunition is acceptable for use in indoor ranges. Its light weight also makes it perfect as an introductory rifle for the younger shooter (we also offer a youth sized accessory buttstock with 2“ shorter trigger pull). The Bushmaster C1522LR features a highly accurate 16” Chromoly barrel, and a “blowback” operating bolt machined from lightweight Titanium. For additional safety, the Safety Selector Lever markings are color-coded on both sides of the Lower Receiver to quickly determine the firing status of the C1522LR. As with other AR15 type models, captivated takedown pins allow Upper and Lower Receiver separation for easy cleaning and lubrication. The iron sights are much like any AR type firearm with a dual rear flip aperture (adjustable for windage), and a square front “post type” sight adjustable for elevation. On the rifle’s Upper Receiver, a Picatinny rail offers easy mounting of any scope, optic, red dot or laser sight. Completely designed and manufactured in the U.S.A., the Bushmaster C1522LR includes a 10 Round Magazine and Operator’s Manual, and is shipped in a hard plastic carrying case. The C1522LR is warranted for one year against defects in materials or workmanship.
