"AR" in AR-15

Sweet. He owes me 20 bucks.

Use the $20 to take his girlfriend on a date. That'll fix him.

Try reminding your friend that and AR-15 is not an assault rifle so "AR" can't mean "Assault Rifle".

It would have select fire if it was, but it doesn't, so it ain't.

Say that last line real fast and watch his head spin.

yah i tried telling him our AR's arent considered assault rifles because of the inability to fire full auto. but he didn't listen. And believe it or not he isn't an anti, he's a fellow firearms owner. And member of this board

Oh well. now he will know. i might rub it in a little bit

Hey just wait for: "Those are illegal in Canada!" from certain people at the range.

Anti's think Any Rifle can be an assault rifle therefore, AR's are assault rifles
BSA is Birmingham Special Assault rifle its the the same as a AK47 or AR.

 

[Brordo]

I'd think BSA would be Birmingham Small Arms considering the guys handle is Old Enfields...

[Can-down]

TOOO EASY! the "15" stands for the number of attempts that Armalite had to endure explaining to the BATF why the rifle is not an M16 but is a SEMI-AUTOMATIC and should be approved for sale as such. Who do I post with my details for claiming the prize of the box of 223rem?

Actually, there are a whole string of rifles from 1 onward. Stoner was a pretty prolific designer considering the time he was working in.
