   Nope.
 Since it isn't capable of selective fire it is just another semi automatic rifle. No more,no less.
 The AR 15 isn't an assault rifle per the military definition. No select fire option. 
. Gun control advocates like to blur the lines and try to make the AR 15 out to be an assault rifle when it actually isn't. That's why they came up with calling it an assault weapon. A generic term that can be used for any weapon really.

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.

Did that citation commence as follows?

This article describes the many variations of the Colt AR-15 and M16 rifle family of weapons produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company. Weapons patterned on the original ArmaLite AR-15 design

I have no interest in the theological debate....only in the accuracy of the history...

Yes, historically Colt manufactured civilian AR-15s and military M16s side-by-side using the same core machinery, raw materials, and factory tooling in West Hartford, Connecticut. [1] 

Because the firearms share roughly 90% of the same exact physical components, keeping their fundamental production lines integrated was the most cost-effective solution for Colt. However, the assembly line diverged at specific quality-control benchmarks and final machining phases to comply with federal law and military contracts. [1] 

## Where the Lines Were Identical  

* Forging and Machining: The aluminum upper and lower receiver blanks were forged, milled, and anodized using the same factory machines.

* Shared Barrel and Furniture Lines: Standard 20-inch barrels, gas tubes, bolt carriers, handguards, and buttstocks moved through identical production stations.

* Worker Tasks: The same factory floor workers assembled the standard components across both product lines. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6] *

All of these parts were made on the “same production” machine (singular) with secondary operations one another “production machine” (singular)…what’s your point?

We had 800 young people descend in a raving party on our small town suppposedly.  Gun fire was heard.  These large crowds are becoming a thing everywhere.
We also had two shootings last weekend. One that killed a young child on a drive by shooting from the street in the home. Another resultd in a flight to Shock/Trauma for a young adult male.  This kind of news is somewhat rare around here.

Aye, Trump is cranking up the crazy knob.  I guess I'll try for the shotgun again.  I have a 30 years ago bust for 2g of pot and was evidently disqualified in the Obama era.  I think I was still even registered democrat. I never got word of  a yes or a no.

Met an interesting bloke you would like at the neighborhood bar.  He said dad gave him 3 shells to go and hunt.  If he came home with less than three meals for the families he said his dad kicked hs ***.  He learned to target quick, and evidently went to become a star Marine Sharpshooter / Sniper.. Really nice guy.  He was totally in alignment that Trump has screwed the pooch.

Which begins as follows, right?


An AR-15–style rifle is a lightweight semi-automatic rifle based on or similar to the Colt AR-15 design. The Colt model removed the selective fire feature of its predecessor, the original ArmaLite AR-15, which is a scaled-down derivative of the AR-10 design (by Eugene Stoner). It is closely related to the military M16 rifle.
