Would a standard AR-15 GI magazine feed 5.45x39 rounds?

No, but it could be made to by changing out the follower.

What is the best ar 15 you can buy for under 1000?

DPMS, CMMG, Armalite, Bushmaster, Double Star, Stag Arms... all make AR-15s of comparable quality in that price range. If you go used, you can often find higher end brand under 1k, as the market is flooded with ARs currently, although most of what you gain with those brands is unnecessary (chrome lined barrels, tedious gas key staking, etc.)

Can you legally buy an AR 15 in the state of Iowa?

A quick reading of the Ohio gun law discloses NO specific prohibition by either manuracturer or type. This refers, of course, to the civilian version of the firearm, NOT the fully-automatic-capable military version, for which a federal license is required.

Who sells the cheapest AR-15 colt armalite or bushmaster?

Definitely not Colt. For an assembled rifle, the cheapest you'll find is probably going to be the "bargain bin" rifles from CMMG. They sell for $599 (plus shipping and receiving).

How much you pay depends on what you want.. if you want a chrome lined barrel (which is going to be a bit pointless), that'll cost more, for example.

If you have the know-how and the tools to build one up yourself from components, Del-Ton used to (and still might) have a complete parts kit (minus lower receiver) for $450.

Check around gun shows and gun shops for used rifles, as well. There is a glut of AR-15s on the market, and sometimes you'll find some smoking hot deals.

What size round does the ar 15 shoot?

Depends on your configuration. The most common, by far, is .223 Remington/5.56x45mm NATO.

How much is a pms ar-15 worth?

Either you have a DPMS rifle, or a PWS rifle. DPMS makes several different models of AR-15, and value can range from $600 to $1500, depending on the exact model and features.

PWS, on the other hand, is a different matter. PSW manufactures higher end gas piston and direct impingement uppers, which typically sell new for $1500 - $2000. Overall value of the rifle would depend on what lower and accessories you have.

The AR-15 rifle has a fire rate of 800 rounds per minuteand a muzzle velocity of 3,200 feet per second.
