AI Overview



The semi-automatic-only version of the AR-15 has never been standard military issue. The military version—derived from the original ArmaLite design and Colt production—was built with select-fire capabilities (capable of fully automatic or burst fire), designated as the M16 or M4

Military Adoption Timeline

• 1963: The U.S. military officially ordered and designated the select-fire variant as the M16, making it standard issue for troops.

• 1964: Colt began manufacturing and selling the strictly semi-automatic-only variant (marketed as the Colt AR-15 Sporter) to civilians and law enforcement, separate from military contracts.

Have you heard of LWRC?  There were a lot of folks pumping them up.

I could have pursued a position building them for Saudi Arabia..  Drones could be used for peaceful as well as lethal means. Assault firearms have one purpose only..  to kill. I made a conscious  decision I did not want to support production of death out of the barrel..

The tech for lethal drones has gone exponential  in the 20 years I have been out of the arena.  I would pay for the ballroom  if he stayed inside it an STFU..

It was designed in the 50s.

His post was about when the military adopted the M16 and when Colt started making the AR 15 available to the public.

It was designed without any regard for the etymological debate which followed.

Just delete facts.

The NEW design of the lower and it's components was done in the 60s by Colt.  Not ArmaLite:

To prevent a civilian semi-automatic AR-15 from being readily converted for use with the select fire components, several features were changed. 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 the automatic fire is selected.[79] Using a portion of the select fire parts in a semi-automatic rifle will not enable a select fire option (this requires a registered part with the ATF). Lower receivers that are select-fire are identified by a pinhole above the safety/mode selection switch.[80][81][82][83] 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. The pivot pin may also be slightly larger in diameter.

Here's your L.

 

For the hundredth time, one family, multiple design.  Note the words ORIGINAL design.  That means there were design changes.

Now your turn.  Go to the link where that citations comes from.  Post what list the M 16 is on and what list the AR 15 Sporter is on.  Then tell me what what years the Sporter was military issue.

If the Ar 15 Sporter is on the military list and the you can post the dates it was standard army issue for combat I will take the rest of the week off, returning Sunday.  If you don't DO NOT EVAH presume to lecture me or anyone else on this manner again.  

PS.  I posted the links to this thread earlier and you also can get them from my sig box.
