Incorrect. In the 50s Armalite, a division of Fairchild Aircraft, was in competition to design the new combat rifle for the military. They came up with the AR 10/15. An automatic rifle. In 1959, Colt than bought the rights to both, and designated its model number c601, calling it officially the ArmaLite AR-15. You have the link to that because you often post the the beginning of that article, although you don't understand and don't read beyond the first para. Between them and the Government the name was change to M 16 and the NAME AR 15 was shelved. A few years later a civilian model was DESIGNED. I have posted the design changes for you often, and have done so today. They named it the AR 15 Sporter SP1.Blackvegetable » 17 Aug 2026, 10:49 am » wrote: ↑ Literally every single one of your citations.

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.

And I can find the Colt Sporter SP1 AR 15 on the list. Or any non select fire weapon. And there are a lot of them.
Now, when I go down this Civilian List, guess what I found?

You guessed it! AR-15 Sporter (SP1)!

The "civilian" AR-15 is a variant of the original AR-15 design, modified so as not to be a machine gun subject to the 1934 regs.
It doesn't "look" like an assault rifle...it is one.
This terminology debate is irrelevant. The AR-15's design and development predates the etymological discussion. The antecedent is German.
Even the government does not consider them NFA weapons. Which Assault Rifles are.It doesn't "look" like an assault rifle...it is one.
Which came first
