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
Can the AR-15 have folding stock?
No. A standard AR15 has a buffer tube that runs inside the stock that contains the recoil spring.
How do you convert an AR 15 rifle into a full automatic?
Despite popular misconceptions, most AR 15 type rifles cannot be converted to full auto without major modifications, re-machining the receiver, and replacing several parts. It is also a major Federal crime to do so without the proper licences, and possession of an unregistered machinegun in the US is punishable by 10 years in prison. Not a good thought.
Can you turn your ar-15 rifle into the pistol version?
no dear you cant change

Can a Smith and Wesson 460XVR revolver be mounted to a Smith and Wesson AR -15 T?
If you have enough money, time and a really good gunsmith, anything is possible.
What makes automatic the ar-15?
The lower receiver will be configured so that the weapon can be fired in full auto or burst.
Can you buy a ar-15 in ventura ca?
Yes, but it's a bit more complicated in California. The lower receiver must not be on a list of banned receivers published by the California Department of Justice, and your available options depend on what way you want to go. If you want a detachable magazine rifle, it must be "featureless" - no pistol grip, no flash suppressor (but a permanently pinned and welded muzzle brake is okay), no collapsible buttstock, no forward grip (to include the Magpul AFG). If you want those features, then you must have a "bullet button" which requires you to depress the magazine release with a bullet or some other pointed object... this technically makes it a fixed magazine rifle according to California law.
What does an AR 15 gas block do?
A gas block acta as an intermediary channel for the gas trapped behind the bullet (when the rifle is fired) to exit the hole in the barrel and be directed up, then back into the rifle. This powers the reloading mechanism of the rifle.
There's probably a more technical answer for it, but at it's basic, that is what a gas block does.
What is the best barrell length for an ar15 chambered in 556 NATO with a 1 in 9 twist?
Depends. For long range shooting, you're probably not going to find one off-the-shelf with the 22 or 24 inch barrel. You can still reach out and touch something at 300 yards or more with a 16 inch barrel. If you want it to be as "authentic" of an M4 as possible, then you'd want a 14.5 inch barrel with a permanently pinned and welded flash suppressor long enough to bring the barrel length to 16 inches.
Production date of colt ar 15 with serial number 994989?
With that serial number, you will have to call Colt.
Which is better an AR 15 or a M4?
they are bothe very similar but i would have to say the m4 because of higher power and it is used by the military not like the ar-15 which is mostly used by law enforcement. It depends on the m4 though because there is a very wide variation of models of the m4 unlike the ar-15 which is one basic model... there isn't much difference between the m4 carbine and the ar-15
How do you load an AR-15 type rifle?
Insert the magazine into the magazine well, then pull the charging handle all the way and let go or depress the the bolt release if all rounds have been fired.
How do you know the year your ar15 model sp1 was made?
By it's serial number. Go to www.proofhouse.com and under 'long rifles' listing look for AR15 Sporter
What size round does the ar-15 shoot?
Depends on your configuration. The most common, by far, is .223 Remington/5.56x45mm NATO.
If the rifle has M16 stamped on it, it is an M16. The letter "M" simply stands for MILITARY MODEL even though it's only 1 letter "M"-16.
AR stood for the company that originally built the rifle, the Armalite company.
Will the ar 15 223 colt shoot 5.56 NATO rounds?
Yes - this is the same ammunition
No, it is NOT the same ammunition. The AR-15 has a 5.56x45 chamber, and it will be marked "5.56" on the barrel. Many imported firearms which have a 5.56 chamber will be marked .223 in order to be classed as "sporting rifles" which may be imported.
The .223 Remington cartridge may be safely cycled in a 5.56x45 chamber; the 5.56x45 cartridge is not safe to cycle in a dedicated .223 Remington chamber.
When it doubt, always check with the manufacturer - they are the most authoritative people to talk to on these matters.
The civilian .223 Remington and military 5.56x45 cartridges are similar in dimension, but differ in case thickness, chamber pressures generated, and neck angles. The chamber pressures of the 5.56 greatly exceeds that of the .223 Remington, and the different neck angle can prevent proper headspacing from being achieved in a .223 chamber.
Can a person own a M4A1 or AR15 in California?
The M4A1 is a select fire weapon with full auto capabilities. Unless you owned an NFA permitted full auto lower in California prior to 1989, you won't be allowed to get one.
As for AR-15 type rifles, it is possible. They must be a brand not on the CA DOJ's list of banned receivers, and they must either use a "bullet button" (thus legally making them fixed magazine rifles), or they must be featureless (no collapsible or folding buttstock, no pronounced pistol grip, no forward grip, no flash suppressor).
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.
