The AR-15 is the civilian version of the main Americanservice rifle (the M-16). It has been in active duty since introduction in the Vietnam war. It is one of the most widely know weapons of all time.
Country of Origin: USA
Year of Origin: 1970s
Countries of Manufacture: USA, Canada, others
Ammunition: 5.56 NATO / .223 remington
Fire Type: Semi-Automatic fire
Legal Classification*: Restricted
Approximate Value: $1000 +
Notes: The M16 has a burst fire option. The AR15 does not, the AR was the original M-16, but now the AR is largely derived from the M16
Made mostly of aluminium and synthetics, the AR15 was designed to be durable, reliable and accurate with a smaller cartridge. It was a replacement for the M14 which was heavier and had more recoil. Proponents of the M14 argue that it was more powerful and accurate. Militarily it is highly customizable and can be fitted with a grenade launcher.
We will be offering AR-15s at a good price to Canadians as soon as we are able to sell RPAL restricted firearms.
