AS OF 2011: These things have skyrocketed in price mostly because of the "Assault Weapon" bans and hysteria. Currently, these are offered for $1299-1599 range online (and they're selling well in the "Free States" that allow their sale and possession by their free citizens)

The H-BAR version (Serial number preceded by a "CH" for "Competition" or "MH" for "Match" versions) are more desirable and command more money than the "SP" or "Sporter" versions... Either rifle is a fun .223 shooter and can be the basis for many conversions and modifications as well as used for competition sports shooting.

Is an ar15 legal in New York City?

The airgun laws in New York are some what complicated. You can not ship to or own them in the following zip codes 100xx-104xx and 111-114xx and 116xx. Any where besides NY City and its Burroughs they are legal. Keep in mind if you are going to ship an airgun to yourself in NY that you remember that NJ has a restriction on these items through out the whole state.

The guys at http://www.airgundepot.com/ are able to fully detail restriction laws on airguns.

What would happen if you fired your ar15 without the buffer inside?

The bolt carrier would not return, another round would be chambered, and you'd likely have to replace a bolt carrier, buffer tube, buttstock (if using a fixed buttstock), and buffer spring (if the spring was in the extension tube). You could also cause injury to yourself if the bolt carrier ended up going through the back of the extension tube.

How many bullets does ar15 shoot per min?

The answer below is false, the AR-15 has no "automatic fire mode", the M-16 (to which the AR-15 looks like) has a rate of about 800 rpm (however that's more of a representation of how fast you can empty a magazine in relation to 1 minute, it would be impossible to successfully fire this many rounds while managing to reload every 3 seconds 20 times in said minute) and also has no "automatic fire mode," it has a 3 round burst. The AR-15 (if you're actually aiming at anything) is close to about 60 rpm, similar to the average hunting rifle.

The AR-15 rifle has a cyclic fire rate of 800 rounds per minute. However, this is only in fully automatic fire mode. When firing on semi-automatic, the shooter can expect to put 45-60 rounds downrange in a minute depending on how fast he/she can pull the trigger.

How many bullets can an AR-15 fire in one minute?

Between 600 and 900 rounds per minute, depending on how "hot" the load is and the mass of the gun's buffer. The AR-15 has a greater tendency to jam at rates above about 800 rounds per minute.

What is the best scope for an AR 15?

This question is much to broad to answer. As with the gun itself "best" depends on intended use, and user preference.
