Schmeisser GmbH proudly bears the name of Hugo Schmeisser, one of the most innovative weapons designers of the 20th century. Nowadays, the company produces semi-automatic AR-15 rifles for sport shooting and hunting, as well as a police/combat version of the M4/M16 type. All main components are manufactured in Germany to the highest quality standards, with guaranteed speedy delivery of ordered weapons and spare parts.

In the past, AR-15 rifles in Europe were primarily available through imports from the United States and the United Kingdom. But the supplies never fully satisfied the market demands in terms of either quantity or quality, so Schmeisser GmbH saw only one solution - to produce them themselves in Germany.

The automation of Schmeisser AR15 carbines works according to the scheme of removing part of the powder gases from the barrel bore into the receiver, through a hole in the barrel wall through a gas tube. The barrel is locked by turning the bolt. Gun barrels from Schmeisser GmbH are produced by Lothar Walther, known throughout the world for the highest quality of its product.

Schmeisser AR15 carbines comply with the latest NATO Mil Spec standard, ensuring 100% interchangeability of parts with existing weapons of this type. The raw materials used in the production of the receiver (top and bottom) are 7075 T6 aluminum alloy, the same quality as the material used in military weapons. The raw material for the valve components is the finest steel from Thyssen Krupp, obtained directly from the factory.

Forgings are used to the strictest tolerances, made using our own tooling, followed by machining. With a special forging process, the surface and core structures are compacted equally, resulting in superior quality of the workpiece and the parts themselves.

The bolt cocking handle is T-shaped, located in the rear of the receiver above the butt, and remains motionless when firing. On the right side of the receiver there is a bolt rammer, designed to close it manually if the force of the return spring is insufficient.

The window for ejecting spent cartridges is closed by a spring-loaded dust curtain, which opens automatically when the shutter is cocked. The trigger mechanism is single action, hammer type. Firing is possible only with single shots. The sights of Schmeisser AR15 carbines, depending on the model, can have different designs.

The AR15 M4, AR15 M5, and AR15 A4 models are equipped with the usual AR15 family, which consists of a height-adjustable front sight on the base of the gas chamber and an aperture rear sight in a removable carrying handle. The AR15 Ultramatch and AR15 Ultramatch STS models only have Picatinny rails on the receiver and handguard, leaving the buyer to choose which sight to install on the weapon. For example, these could be Aimpoint or EOTech sights, or low magnification optical sights such as Trijicon or ACOG.

The AR15 M4 Solid and AR15 M5 Solid models are equipped with folding iron sights. The forend, butt and pistol grip are made of impact-resistant plastic. Models AR15 M4, AR15 M5, AR15 M4 Solid and AR15 M5 Solid are equipped with a length-adjustable telescopic buttstock, the rest are equipped with a fixed buttstock. Cartridges are fed from box-shaped double-row magazines with a capacity of 2 or 10 rounds. The weapon is equipped with one magazine and a passport.

The indicated models of Schmeisser AR15 carbines are available for sale on the Russian civilian market for hunting and sporting weapons.

Caliber is a delicate matter

In the description of the rifle on the website, in the “caliber” column it is indicated. 223 Rem / 5.56x45 NATO. In reality this does not happen. Is there a difference between .223 Rem and 5.56x45 NATO chambers? Yes, and quite significant. 5.56x45 NATO has large tolerances to work with any cartridge. 5.56x45 NATO is almost universally prohibited by law for civilian use. The cunning Germans made the Schmeisser AR-15 not a .223 chamber, but a .223 Wylde. This is a kind of hybrid between .223 Rem and 5.56x45 NATO. On the one hand, the laws are observed, and the chamber is essentially the same 5.56 NATO, which allows the use of a wide range of ammunition.

Practical shooting

Immediately after the purchase, I hurried to the shooting range. Schmeisser AR-15 hit! I shot standing, from my hand, from my knees, while lying down. After the trigger was polished, from a prone position in a wind of 3 m/s, five shots with a gross Wolf cartridge were used to destroy five clay plates at a distance of 200 m. I began to be curious - what are the real capabilities of this rifle? The general public's perceptions of the accuracy and precision of semi-automatic weapons are sometimes diametrically opposed. I am frankly amused by statements on various Internet forums about hitting a squirrel in the eye from an SVD at 1.5 km. At the same time, even fairly experienced shooters rate the accuracy of semi-automatic weapons as mediocre, claiming that a semi-automatic will not shoot better than 1 MOA (i.e. 29 mm/100 m). Most likely, such a bias is the result of communication with samples of semi-automatic devices that were previously presented on the domestic market - from Russian conversions to Italian new products. In the “Schmeisser” everything is done and fitted perfectly, the barrel is from a renowned manufacturer, and under the fore-end it is quite match thick - all this, in theory, should have a positive effect on accuracy when shooting. Why not check - what is the real accuracy of the Schmeisser AR-15? No sooner said than done. The twist of the carbine is 1:9”, accordingly, the optimal bullet weight should not exceed 69 grains. What are there in stores in this range? The following cartridges were selected for the test: Black Hills Ammunition SMK HPBT 69 grain, Sellier&Bellot SMK HPBT 69 grain, Barnaul PZ cartridges with FMJ 62 ​​grain bullet, Remington Premier with AccuTip 50 grain bullet, Remington Premier Match with SMK HPBT 69 grain bullet, Wolf "(TPZ) with a 62 grain FMJ bullet. So, we're at the shooting range. Temperature 26 degrees, almost complete calm. The carrying handle was removed immediately after purchase, previously a Trijicon red dot sight was standard. To check the accuracy of the carbine, instead of a collimator, a Zeiss Victory 6x24-56 sight was installed on the Piccatini rail. Shooting was done from a prone position, using a Farley rest as a front support. Everything was shot as follows: 12 rounds of the same type were loaded into the magazine, two sighting rounds were fired at the target, then the aiming point was moved and two series of five, again with the aiming point moved after the first five shots. For everything, from the first sighting to the last scoring - no more than 30 seconds. Sometimes, however, more was loaded into the magazine, so in some groups, such as with the Remington Premier Match cartridge, there were 6 shots per group. Called himself a milk mushroom - get into the box, so in this case the size of the group was estimated by six holes. As is noticeable on targets, by the 10-11th shot in a series the barrel heats up and the second group stretches, but how critical is this increase? To tell the truth, the results surprised me. As I already said, one of my shooting hobbies is precision shooting. What my semi-automatic Schmeisser showed with a factory cartridge in a quick series would be the envy of even the owners of bolt-action rifles of eminent craftsmen who shoot with a self-loaded cartridge with free recoil.

All results are clearly visible in the photographs. Be that as it may, 0.25 MOA, which was shown on at least two Black Hills Ammunition SMK HPBT 69 grain cartridges and a Remington Premier Match with a 69 grain SMK HPBT bullet (despite the fact that the second series of these same cartridges were no more than 0.7 MOA) is a clear confirmation of the capabilities of the carbine. Of all the ammunition tested, only the Barnaul one came out within a minute. By the way, there was one delay in shooting associated with it: it had a varnished cartridge case, and if it remained in the hot chamber for more than a minute, as happened once when the rifle, which was on safety, was left while changing targets, then the varnish would stick. This did not happen with the Wolf cartridge with a phosphated case. To those who are incredulous and who find the test results unrealistic and fantastic, I want to say: welcome to Odessa, let’s shoot some more. Today my rounds are 1.5 thousand. What can you say about the rifle at the moment? Accurate, reliable, well-made weapon. I am seriously concerned about the issue of barrel life: will it burn out the same way as the “Italian” after 5 thousand? Time will show. And to some of my friends who, on the occasion of Emka, bought an Asian “bottling” and told me that I supposedly wasted my money on a “German”, because, they say, it’s the same thing, I declare: from “Zaporozhets” and from “ Porsche also seems to have the same engine location - at the rear, but the driving and ownership sensations are different.
