I have a BM Carbon 9MM Ar it is ok, I got on a trade but would of Never spent the $$$$ on one. The upper ond lower don't fit all that well. In 9mm it runs good but a buddy has the 223/5.56 one and he cannot keep the thing running. It has been back to BM twice that I know of and they cant seam to get to run right. (Short strokes all the time with ALL ammo not just low power loads but ALL ammo).
So if I were you I would get some thing other than the BM.

My Friend,
If you buy that Carbon 15 you will indeed be burning your money!
you can get an LMT for just over $1000,if bought as upper,lower,and BCG.
how much over depends on your BUIS choice.
i think i had just under $1100 in mine when it was still bare.
I have never understood the whole carbon thing. Blame all this on Glock.
;)
I like Bushmasters pretty well, BUT the carbon is not a well built firearm. I'm acctually suprised you say that you have not seen much review on them. All of the ones I've seen (whithout really looking for them) have been pretty negative. Steer clear from it and between the 2 choices you made, go with the S&W.
I shot an early model Carbon-15, (I think is was a different manufacturer?) at a gun shoot several years ago. It was amazingly light, shot and grouped well. The owner was very happy with it. I think things have changed however, because a very simple search yielded many not so happy reports.
Of the two, definately the S&W.

I used to own a Carbon 15. Piece of shit. I was young and stupid.
Don't need to necropost on this one....
