This versatile carbine has features that make it unique in the Bushmaster Xm15 family. It's operating system's gas block located behind the front sight base and under the ribbed Dissipator handguards. The full length handguards and correct placement of the sight base allow for optimal use of the full sight radius designed into the M16A2 sight system. Handguards are molded of thermoset polymer composite, and their air vents and internal heat shields keep the barrel cool during periods of rapid fire. The 16" heavy barrel is externally manganese phosphate finished - and chrome lined bore and chamber to offer excellent accuracy and long life in a carbine length. The M16A2 sight system offers adjustments for windage and elevation - the elevation knob is graduated from 300 to 800 meters so that range adjustments may be made without the need to calculate bullet drop. The dual flip-up aperture is designed for either short range shots at moving targets or long distance accuracy. Forged, lightweight aircraft aluminum receivers have all the latest designed improvements. The XM15 E2S Dissipator Carbine is shipped complete with 10 round magazine, instructional manual and carrying sling. The Removable Carry Handle shown in this photo is included with rifle.
