No...it does not..

I have already posted multiple citations saying the Sporter was designed for Civilians.

You have posted none that says it was designed for the battlefield.

You have posted nothing of what you claimed was modified.

The M16 fired a 5.56.  The Sporter fired a .223.  

The barrel twist was different.  

This will help you:

Comparison to military versions

The primary distinction between civilian semi-automatic rifles (no longer manufactured by Colt for civilian use) and military models is select fire. Military rifles were produced with firing modes, semi-automatic fire and either fully automatic fire mode or burst fire mode, in which the rifle fires three rounds in succession when the trigger is depressed. Most components are interchangeable between semi-auto and select fire rifles including magazines, sights, upper receiver, barrels and accessories.[19][20] The military M4 carbine typically uses a 14.5-inch (370 mm) barrel. Civilian rifles commonly have 16-inch or longer barrels to comply with the National Firearms Act.[21]In order to prevent a civilian semi-automatic AR-15 from being readily converted for use with the select fire components, Colt changed a number of features. Parts changed include the lower receiver, bolt carrier, hammer, trigger, disconnector, and safety/mode selector. The semi-automatic bolt carrier has a longer lightening slot to prevent the bolt's engagement with an automatic sear. Due to a decrease in mass the buffer spring is heavier. On the select fire version, the hammer has an extra spur which interacts with the additional auto-sear that holds it back until the bolt carrier group is fully in battery, when automatic fire is selected.[22] Using a portion of the select fire parts in a semi-automatic rifle will not enable a select fire option.[23] As designed by Colt the pins supporting the semi-auto trigger and hammer in the lower receiver are larger than those used in the military rifle to prevent interchangeability between semi-automatic and select fire components.[24]

I did..

That says nothing about design.

But this part of your citation DOES.

Due to financial problems, and limitations in terms of manpower and production capacity, ArmaLite sold the AR-15 design and the AR-15 trademark along with the ArmaLite AR-10 to Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1959.[4] Colt started selling the semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle as the Colt AR-15 in 1964.[5][6][7] 

Nod.

This is the lower receiver:


That was redesigned.

This is the bolt carrier:



That was redesigned

This is the trigger group.  That was redesigned:



That is everything that makes a rifle an automatic battlefield weapon.  Even the barrell twist was different.  Remember, the Sporter did not fire 5.56.  It fired .223.

The first difference is the higher pressure level of the 5.56 NATO cartridge which runs at approximately 58,000 psi. A 223 Remington is loaded to approximately 55,000 psi. The second and most important difference between the two is the fact that a 5.56 NATO chamber has a . 125” longer throat.

You increase the chance of jamming if you use the wrong ammo.  The 5.56 was designed for combat and the higher pressure needed to cycle the bolt in combat.

My citation makes clear that the Civilian Sporter was not designed for the battlefield.  It is a completely different weapon than the M16.  ****, you don't even know what those parts do.  
Now, the M16 was designed for the battlefield. Not the Sporter.  

Everytime you respond with your **** I repost the facts for you.

No...it does not..
