Does your civilian AR15 show up on this list?

No sir, does not show up on the list of Military Models.  It shows up on the list of Colt civilian models.  Scroll down until you see it.

Colt's civilian line of semi-automatic Colt AR-15 rifles is identified by a four digit code following a specific prefix. Initially all Colt civilian weapons were listed with an “R” prefix, with this changing to “AR” following the passage of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 1994. Colt also produced a line of weapons aimed at target shooters under the “MT” prefix, which stood for Match Target, as well as, the Colt Accurized Rifle, which was the only model to feature the CR prefix. Most recently with the shift in marketing policy by Colt Defense, these weapons have been given the “LE” and "LT" prefix. The "LT" series is modified version of the Colt 6720 featuring a lightweight "pencil" barrel with a free floating rail system. Only 1500 of the "LT" series were produced. Currently, Colt Defense has no line targeted specifically at the private civilian market.

Additionally, if you look at the list of civilian models under Fire Control everyone single one is S-1.  That means S for safe and 1 for semiautomatic.  Not one has an F for Full Auto or a number indicating the number of rounds fired in burst mode.  Those are only on the Military Models.  

Additionally, you just answered the question of what capabilities do the civilian model and military model share.  That answer would be none because only the Colt M16 was designed for the battlefiled.

Thanks for playing.
