458 Questions
How much does a ar-15 rifle c?
Depends on make and exact model, but prices have increased GREATLY in the past 2 weeks due to a spike in demand- currently about $1500 and up.
What bullet does an AR-15 shoot?
The typical AR15 fires the same type of bullet as the M16: a .223 caliber (5.56mmx45mm NATO) round.
There are AR-15 rifles that have special barrels made for a variety of popular cartridges, even the little .22LR.
Is an AR-15 considered an assault rifle?
By the true definition, only one with a selective fire option (full auto or bust fire) would be. By the politicized definition, it would be if it has two or more of the cosmetic features outlined by the BATFE in 1989.
Are piston ar15s more reliable than direct impingement?
They can be a little more forgiving of less frequent maintenance, but the leading cause of jams with AR pattern rifles is actually from the cheaply made mil-spec magazines, not the action. Also, with a piston system, carrier tilt becomes an issue of concern... they do make carriers and buffers designed to resist carrier tilt, though.
The average shooter probably won't actually gain anything from a gas piston AR vs. a direct impingement rifle, whereas, say, a Navy SEAL would, as they wouldn't be required to open the action and drain out the system after it was submerged before firing it.
What is a Model SP1 AR15 rifle?
Variant of the AR-15 manufactured by Colt. It had a 'slab side' lower and no forward assist.
Who makes the strongest and most durable AR15 quad rail?
Take your pick... BCM, Daniels Defense, Yankee Hill... pretty much any name with a repute for quality will make a product which meets and exceeds your durability requirements. I tried looking, and I haven't really found anything which tested quad rail systems to the breaking point, but you really can't go wrong with anything from a quality manufacturer.
Can an ar15 shoot a bullet from an m16?
Most AR-type rifles are chambered for the 5.56x45 cartridge - the standard cartridge used by NATO (and also by several non-NATO) forces for their military's assault rifles. They can also chamber the .223 Remington cartridge, although a firearm with a dedicated .223 Remington chamber should not be used for military 5.56x45 ammunition.

Will a hydraulic buffer reduce the reliability in a piston driven AR15?
Actually, maker claims to INCREASE reliability.
Who created the AR-15 and for what reason. Also what are facts about the AR?
The AR-15 was created by a design team led by Eugene Stoner. Initially, the AR-15 was intended to be a companion rifle to the AR-10; the AR-10 was intended to replace the M1 Garand while the AR-15 was intended to replace the M1, M2, and M3 carbines.
Who is the best ar15 part manufacturers?
Probably Lewis Machine Tool. Most AR-15 manufacturers don't actually manufacture their own parts - they outsource them. LMT manufactures the receivers for Colt, Noveske, and others. Continental Machine Tool is another one a lot of firearms manufacturers outsource to.
Can a colt AR 15 PreBan legally be made full auto?
It is possible, even for a postban receiver, under a specific set of circumstances. You would need to obtain an NFA Class III tax stamp to purchase a registered trigger group, sear, or lightning link, and the person actually doing the conversion would have to hold a Type 7 FFL with a Class III Special Occupational Tax stamp (as well as a CNC milling machine, as the parts do not simply drop in).
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.
Do you need a gun license to buy a AR 15?
An ar15 as a semi automatic rifle, 16" barrel, can be purchased just like any other standard fire arm, depending on laws and regulations in your state.
For any other versions, be it shorter barrel, and or automatic fire, no longer making it a standard firearm, additional permits and licenses are required.
What is date of manufacture of colt ar15 sp-1 serial?
No serial number given. You will have to call Colt.
