Overall, this is a very good rifle. You can read the review of it on www.gunblast.com. I actually own one (16" flattop gun) and can attest that their review is pretty accurate. The gun shoots well: 1" groups at 100m (not that this is a real test, but I haven't had the chance to try it at longer distances than that) and has good, positive extraction/ejection. It is very reliable, shooting steel cased Russian stuff, as well as good USA made brass ammo without issue. I have even shot it with some very beat up, (ahem) "individually appropriated" milspec mags with steel followers and have had no problems in at least 1000 rounds. That said, the trigger is pretty stiff and gritty, worse than the Colts and FNs I have been issued in the past. (I don't have a trigger scale but about 8-9 lbs. sounds right.) At any rate, that is pretty easily remedied. Also, the barrel is neither the traditional M-4 contour, nor a genuine bull barrel. This makes the rifle heavier than an M-4 and to my eye, less elegant. I don't think it is chrome lined. The cosmetic factor bothers me more than it should and I can't really explain to you why, but it does. Anyway, it doesn't affect the way it shoots. Bottom line: this AR is as reliable as any milspec gun I have ever carried. If you can get one at a reasonable price and you choose not to, then you get whatever Eric Holder thinks you deserve...
well the standard ar-15 is a colt. but now these days the most poopular are generally either DPMS or Bushmaster. the best of the Best is Barret and LWRC.
An AR-15 bullet typically travels at speeds of around 3,000 feet per second. This high velocity contributes to the AR-15's effectiveness as a long-range and accurate firearm.
No, but it could be made to by changing out the follower.
Only if there was one made for an AR-15 upper, which there isn't.
No. A standard AR15 has a buffer tube that runs inside the stock that contains the recoil spring.
catching fire is 17 ar points and mockingjay is 15 i think :)
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.
The AR 15 is a rifle, not a caliber. the .223 is a caliber. Usually the AR-15 is made in caliber .223.
The M3 is the semi-automatic version of the Ar-15 (M4).
"Armalite rifle" is a term used to describe two rifles developed for the Armalite Division of the Fairchild Aircraft Company - the AR-15, and the AR-18. The AR-15 was developed from the earlier AR-10. The AR-15 and AR-18 were both designed by Eugene Stoner.
The AR 15 was designed in 1957 by Eugene Stoner. The original manufacturer of the AR 15 was ArmaLite, but they sold the rights to Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1959.
