You lose. That source, as I posted, Places the Sporter in the civilian category because it differs from the M 16 military standard.Huey » 18 Feb 2023, 10:20 am » wrote: ↑ You lose. I was correct. It is clearly listed as a civilian model. Note my definition of variant in my sig.

Variant Definition:
a form or version of something that differs in some respect from other forms of the same thing or from a standard.
@Blackvegetable
Yes, Kydex 67. Different designs, different models, different lowers, different internal mechanisms.

This source is completely wrong according to your theory of only one design:
https://www.gunbuilders.com/blog/ar15-v ... ifference/
I suggest reading the entire article. I already know what you are going to cherry pick.
To allow the auto sear to provide full-auto function, the M16's bolt carrier must be fabricated different from an AR-15's "commercial" bolt carrier group. The extra mass at the back of the carrier interacts with the sear and helps to reduce felt recoil during full-auto fire.
Shown with the safety lever removed, the AR-15's lower receiver (even if "mil-spec") does not have the necessary space to accept an M16's auto sear. The portion highlighted in red must be milled or cut to make room for the sear. Doing so is illegal, since machineguns cannot be manufactured without special licensing and case-by-case approval from the ATF.
Those are just two things. But the source is inaccurate because according to you there is only ONE DESIGN.

That is just two of the design differences. The link has more. Ignore facts, Kydex 67.

QED
Different designs (as posted) and different categories. You have the definition of variant. You refuse to admit you’re wrong.Yes, Kydex 67. Different designs, different models, different lowers, different internal mechanisms.

Enough.Huey » 18 Feb 2023, 1:12 pm » wrote: ↑ Nobody said otherwise. Patterned after does not mean the same. Here are some design differences:
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.[21] Using a portion of the select fire parts in a semi-automatic rifle will not enable a select fire option.[22] 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.[23]

At least two designs. Look at all the parts that were designed to ensure it was not a weapon of war:

Run from the discussion of the lowers and the bolt carrier mechanism.
Changed in basic design….
Enough. You lost. Two designs. Different parts, different functions. One for the battlefield and one for civilians.Blackvegetable » 18 Feb 2023, 3:20 pm » wrote: ↑ you reconcile your claptrap with @Redheaded Stranger and come back to me with consensus.
Until you do you are in conflict with him AND every citation.

I’m good. I know what I am talking about. Been around those weapons for 40 years.
There is a reason you refuse to discuss the lowers. The moment you do younwill embarrass yourself.
