Quick Detach Compensator Removal: The Stainless Steel Barrels on Carbon 15 “R” Series Rifles and P Series Pistols are
fitted with an easily removed Quick Detach Compensator. The disassembly steps are:
1. Weapon should be in SAFE CONDITION. Clear the
Rifle and remove Magazine.
2. Grasp the Sliding Collar of the Q.D. Compensator
and push it towards the muzzle end while holding
the body of the Compensator.
3. Once spring tension is released on the Ball Detent
Locking mechanism, the Compensator can be
slide off the end of the muzzle.
4. Reassembly is the reverse of these steps plus a
twisting motion to ensure that the Balls of the
Locking mechanism drop into their respective
detents on the outside of the muzzle.
WARNING: Do not
fire the Rifle unless the Q.D. Compensator is firmly locked in place.
NOTE:
The Rifle may be safely fired with the Q.D. Compensator completely removed.
No Ejection Port Cover on Carbon 15 Rifles & Pistols: While the Aluminum Receiver XM15 Models include the
original military design, spring loaded, metal Ejection Port Cover, the Receivers on Carbon 15 Rifles and Pistols do not. The Bolt Carrier can
be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance, so the Ejection Port Cover is not found on the Carbon 15 Models.
Carbon 15 Rifle Safety Lever Markings: Molded Carbon Fiber Receivers on Carbon
15 Rifles and Pistols have Safety Lever Indicator Markings either engraved into the Carbon Fiber
material (most military / LE models), or inset
into the Lower with colored letters (most
Commercial models).
SS = SAFE (white
letters on both sides of Receiver);
F = FIRE
(red letters on both sides of Receiver).
Compare with roll-stamped markings on
Aluminum Receiver at right.
