"Shorty" Carbine (A2 & A3 Models)

Bushmaster XM15 E2S 16" Bbl. "Shorty" Carbine / A2 Model

Shorty A3 Model

A rugged, telescoping buttstock adds to the versatility of this .223 Remington caliber
“Shorty” carbine, and the ribbed “Shorty” handguards keep swing weight to a
minimum. Its handguards, pistol grip and “tele” stock are molded of hard thermoset
polymer composite. The heavy barrel, with chrome lined bore and chamber, offers
exceptional accuracy for its length and is externally manganese phosphate finished for
complete protection against corrosion and rust - as are all steel parts of the weapon. The
barrel incorporates a “birdcage” style flash suppressor/compensator with closed bottom to
eliminate dust signature when firing in the prone position. The M16A2 sight system, with two
flip-up apertures designed for either short range shots at moving targets or long distance
accuracy, offers adjustment for windage and elevation. The elevation adjustments are
graduated from 300 to 800 meters and automatically compensate for bullet drop. Forged,
lightweight 7075T6 aircraft quality aluminum receivers have all M16A2 design improvements
including cartridge case deflector, last round bolt hold-open and raised ridges for magazine
release button protection.

The A3 Type differs in that it's Upper Receiver is “flat-top” style with an integral Picatinny
rail to offer a variety of sight, scope or night vision mounting options. A 1/2 M.o.A. rear
sight is incorporated into the Removeable Carrying Handle. The XM15 E2S “Shorty”
Carbine is shipped complete with 30 round magazine, instructional manual and
carrying sling, all in a hard plastic shipping case.
