About the Bushmaster XM-15
The XM-15 carries Bushmaster's longest-running AR-15 designation, built on forged receivers and a 16-inch barrel with a carbine gas system. The platform handles the same manual of arms and maintenance schedule as every other AR-15, which keeps training simple across a collection. Bushmaster offers the rifle with different furniture, sights, and handguard styles, from fixed carry-handle builds to flat-top configurations, but the core dimensions stay on the mil-spec pattern that accessory makers expect. The result is a general-purpose 5.56 rifle with a name that reaches back decades.
