AR-15 Rifles
The lightweight AR-15 was first introduced in 1958. The original AR-15s were produced by ArmaLite, but production rights were sold to Colt, who still makes them today.
458 Questions
How do you convert an ar-15 to shoot fully automatic?
Not possible. It would require re-making the receiver, in order to fit in the additional parts. By the way, making or possessing an unregistered machine gun in the US is punished by 10 yrs in a Federal prison, and a fine of $250,000. Not a good idea to try this.
Could you fit a AR-15 clip on the new semi auto style R-15 rifle both in a 223 caliber?
Magazine, not clip. Also, yes, it appears that the R-15 can take STANAG magazines (which are the magazines that the AR-15 rifle takes).
Can a pre-ban ar15 legally be turned into a full auto?
Yes and no. You can not turn it in to a full auto by dropping in your own DIAS or milling it out to take the M16 parts. If you want to legally turn it full auto you will have to purchase one of the few and very expensive registered DIAS or lightning links out there. Or if you are really adventurous and looking for a new job go through all of the paperwork and the rest of the process to become a manufacturer and you can make full auto weapons for the police and military. You can not turn it in to a brand new full auto gun however as the time to register ones by "civilians" has long passed. (1986)
The AR-15 style of assault weapon was designed by Eugene Stoner of the Fairchild Armalite corporation.
The AR-15 is based on the 7.62 mm AR-10, designed by Eugene Stoner of the Fairchild ArmaLite corporation
What is the difference between an Ar-15 and an M-16?
M-16 is full auto and the AR-15 isn't full auto.
What is dealer cost for ar15 lower receiver?
Average is around $350. If you are looking for a stripped lower receiver, the price should hang around $100.
Do you have to register a homemade AR 15 lower receiver?
a nonlicensee may manufacture a semiautomatic rifle for his or her own personal use. As long as the firearm remains in the custody of the person who manufactured it, the firearm need not be marked with a serial number or name and location of the manufacturer. However, if the firearm is transferred to another party at some point in the future, the firearm must be marked in accordance with the provisions set forth in 27 CFR § 478.92 (formerly 178.92).
Get both!
It all comes down to personal preference. Both are fine firearms, in my experience.
The Kalashnikov,and all it's variants,are selective fire assault rifles(unless you are talking about the semi-automatic civilian versions in the U.S).
The AK-47 and it's different variants are built cheaply and ruggedly by many Russian,Asian and Now Middle Eastern manufactures,so quality varies as well.But generally speaking,the Genuine AK-47 is a reliable,rugged weapon.It fires the intermediate 7.62x39mm cartridge. Later versions like the AK-74 and Type 81 fire the 5.45x39mm,which was the Soviet Union's answer to the U.S. and other NATO nations switching to the 5.56 NATO cartridge. It's operated from a right-handled cocking lever,which can be very irritating for left-handed people.It's stock usually comprises of wood,and stamped metal.It's barrel has 6-right-hand grooves for rifling.Some newer or customized models have composite stocks.It's sights go out to 300m,but they are very low to the rifle's profile,and thus are harder and slower to use.Norinco has released models with 3-5x9 red-dot sights to compensate for this,and it can come in shorter paratrooper models,with folding and collapsing stocks.
The AR-15 is a lightweight, magazine-fed, gas-operated, air-cooled, shoulder-fired modular weapon system, primarily manufactured by Colt and several other companies. As with the AK-47, quality varies with each manufacturer. This weapon fires both the .223 Remington cartridge and the 5.56 NATO cartridge, depending on the lead in the chamber (if the lead is longer to accommodate the higher pressures generated by the 5.56 NATO cartridge, the rifle will fire both; otherwise, it'll only fire .223 Remington ammunition reliably). It fires from either a 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 45, 90, or 100-round magazine, with the most common being either 10, 20, or 30-rounders. The rifle comes in many different configurations. The stock is either fixed (the A2 stock is 5/8ths of an inch longer than the A1 stock), or collapsible. The barrel comes in many different lengths 7.5 inches (AR pistols), 10 inches, 10.5 inches, 11.5 inches, 12.5 inches, 14.5 inches, 16 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches, and 24 inches. The list of possible configurations is too long to complete here; these are just some of the possibilities with the AR platform. The weakness in this platform is the feeding system; a defective magazine can cause feeding problems. AR-15s are best run with plenty of lubrication (CLP) on the bolt carrier to ensure the most reliable operation.
Both are very good,so get both!

Who is the best AR-15 manufacturer?
COLT has been making the AR-15 for many years before everyone else started making them, so I would have to go with Colt. Yes, they are really expensive, but they know what they are doing since they are the original makers of the AR-15.
If you don't want to spend that money, I would go with a DPMS or Bushmaster. I have a DPMS and love it, but I still think Colt will out-do any AR-15.
Hate to burst your bubble, but there really aren't any AR-15 manufacturers left in the US. Nobody manufactures every component themselves - not even Colt. Their receivers are outsourced to Continental Machine Tool, who also manufacture the receivers for Wilson Tactical, Noveske, Century, Rock River Arms, Smith & Wesson, High Standard, and several others.
Lewis Machine Tool manufactures receivers which match any receiver made by Continental in quality. They manufacture receivers for LMT, Knight's Armament, Barrett, Armalite, and others.
And, like it or don't, no forged receiver is going to be build with the same quality and durability as the billet lowers made by POF, Daniels Defence, Sun Devil/Hero Guns, etc.
