YES
The fourth solo Imp kill I made tonight was a buffed Rifleman/CM. Thankfully he only hit me with two poisons and FullAutoSingle2 and ScatterShot2 did him in before the 656 mind poison per tick drained me.
I had quite a setup with full 9 stat buffs, uber Stun Comp Armor, max SEA's for Carbineer, Stun PSG, Krayt DXR6, Brandy X2, Canape, DOT reduction food, Synthsteak. So I am not the average Carbineer, but it can be a viable PvP profession.....it just takes more work than healing an AFK Tumbler 
Being all full of myself (bad idea for a solo PvP Carbineer)I decided to take on a Bladesmaster and Master Pikeman together in full Comp and buffed.....OUCH!!!! They were BOTH CM's.....Needless to say I didn't win, but kited them for over 500m before going down (used Muon on top of setup above). I scrolled back through my log and found that TWO guys hit me with 17 poisons.....and the Devs say they don't want to nerf CM's give me a FREAKIN' break.....
/waveshand @ jfang You want to promote the nerf of CM's.....
BTW, I am a Master Carbineer with 4440 Fencer and 0043 Pistoleer.

For a "pure" Master Carbineer (un-SEAd and un-focused on melee/defenses), it'srather hard.. but can be done with the proper equipment.
You stand a way better chance with SEAs though. With my template, it's even easier. Intimidate.. blind.. riflemen suddenly become blind peashooters against your stun armor and PSG. Carbine for Dizzy/KD... since they have little posture down defenses.. and carbine or stun baton for the kill. Mind buffs are probably required if they havla-poison stack you, though, heh.
I fear the more uber melee builds, actually. Anything that includes Intimidate2. That move is more effective on a Carbineer than actually killing him, since killing an equipped Carbineer with a ranged weapon and armor can take a while. If intimidated, however, it's as if we weren't there... we won't scratch a prepared opponent. Sure, we can KD and inflict all states on them.. but it isn't terribly useful if we can't use that to our advantabe.
But YES.. it's easily doable.. with the proper preparation.

Your right. I usually don't have too much trouble against riflemen (unless they have doc), but its the bloody melee stackers which I can't stand. I can hit them more than others because of my nice accuracy mods, but I just can't land states or KDs or anything which normally gives us an advantage. Then again the accuracy changes which whill hit live soon might make a difference.

Those two melee guys were probably hitting you with DoT weapons rather than poisoning you....

Right on TA way to work them bastards. In all honstly they are the easiest for me to kill. Fill there ass up with states, toss 2 venom poisons, cure myself, then proceed to lay down an ass woopin. Go Carbineer!

I am sure they had DOT weapons, but I had a very nice conversation (for Imps) after the fight. And they were both CM and the one guy even said the CM needs a BIG NERF

Good luck applying states or KD or even Posture Changeto 4440 Fencer and 0043 Pistoleer
And check out the Melee and Ranged Defense there......with 2 Rings as well
I have +155 Accuracy, +45% Accuracy Food, and +80 Ideal Range Carbine......sounds like we will beat the hell out of our armor 
Oh I almost forgot, I have +55 Accuracy While Moving too.....and a broken +124 Counterattack....
