It's debunked, AGAIN, by your citation.
You are not smart enough to see that it is.
You're so "smart", every time you cite something it eats you up and spits you out.

“Colt sent a pilot model rifle (serial no. GX4968) to the BATF for civilian sale approval on Oct. 23, 1963. It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963, and sales of the ‘Model R6000 Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter Rifle’ began on Jan 2, 1964,” one critic of the article contended. “The M16 wasn’t issued to infantry units until 1965 (as the XM16E1), wasn’t standardized as the M16A1 until 1967, and didn’t officially replace the M14 until 1969.”
You sure you know which rifle came first?

Did you just suggest that the fact that the AF ordered the weapon MORE THAN A YEAR before Colt modified it is irrelevant?Huey » 15 Feb 2023, 2:01 pm » wrote: ↑ While not relevant, here is more.
However, LeMay’s request to order the AR-15 was denied by Congress. Adopting a rifle with a new cartridge would be problematic for military acquisitions and logistics. Additionally, the Army was still against the adoption of the ArmaLite Rifle in favor of keeping its own armories turning out M14s. In 1962, as Air Force Chief of Staff, LeMay eventually got a small order of AR-15s approved and sent them to Vietnam for use by Air Police, now known as Security Forces.
(Air Police were not on the battlefield)
In addition to the Air Force, the AR-15 was adopted by Army Special Forces working with South Vietnamese forces for testing and evaluation. Along with pressure from LeMay and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who was also a fan of the AR-15, Special Forces reports praising the rifle’s performance eventually pushed the Army to replace the M14 with the AR-15 as the M16. In November 1963, Colt received a $13.5 million contract for 104,000 M16s, 19,000 of which were slated for the Air Force.

It is irrelevant in the context of the argument.
Notice the request was shot down by congress and that only a small order was was approved for AF Cops. I took the ST away so you can read it. That is also not an M 16. It is an original Armalite Design. Note the position of the charging handle for instances and the lack of a forward assist.
Now, that is not the same weapon as the Sporter. Same deal with the charging handle and a much different lower. Two different designs
