First a little about the AR-15 gun. This rifle is the civilian version of the standard US Military Rifle, the M16/M16A1/M16A2. It pioneered the small-caliber cartridge in US military service rifles; even the WWII M1 Carbine was a .30 caliber weapon, albeit in a pistol-power round. Many of the old serious shooters had resistance to the "Black Rifle" They could not see how it could compete with the old standards ---- the M1 Garand and M14. Could this plastic and aluminum gun match up or even equal to the old walnut and steel? The AR-15 has proven that it can. The AR-15 has become perhaps the most versatile rifle in history, with variations from shorty carbines to heavy barrel, long range match rifles. Its design, which separates the barrel, bolt and upper receiver from the fire control mechanism and the lower receiver, makes it possible for the AR-15 owner to swap uppers to meet any need. Thus the AR-15 is the "tinkerer's delight," a rifle that has more personalities than Dr. Jekyll. Specs of the AR-15 FSSA is auctioning The FSSA will be auctioning off a Armalite A2 HBAR..
