At the beginning, AR15 was supposed to be a lightweight carbine. MAG Tactical brought the concept back with AIR15, a carbine that’s under 4.5 pounds with the sight. While it ships with two Magpul 30-rounder, I handed it to my guest with a 20-rounder, updated but still similar to the original 1960s straight box magazine.
Judging by Maria‘s smile, she likes the handling.
Thanks for the info on the rifle but it took me a few seconds to notice the rifle. Your friend has the most amazing eyes I’ve ever seen. Simply stunning.
Just curious. Oleg, what weight do you think is ideal for a 5.56mm carbine or rifle?
Depends on the purpose, but I find 6.5lb guns to be about right once optics, suppressor, ammo, laser and backup sights are added. Bullpups can be slightly heavier.
This AIR15 is a specialized model that would work for teens, small women, people with limited upper body strength.
