The AR15 is the civilian version of the military M16. The popularity of this rifle has grown exponentially over the last several years with good reason.
- The rifle can be customized to many different tastes and needs which will be addressed in future article on customization.
- It uses the 5.56 NATO round which is also known as a .223 caliper round, and close but not identical to the .223 remington.
- There are many web sites that specialize in selling the AR15 at discount prices.
- You can purchase the rifle piece by piece over a period of time if finances do not allow purchase of a complete rifle.
These are just some of the reasons for the rifles popularity but let us not forget the main “pull” here. It’s totally addicting. Once you shoot an AR15 there is no “going back” so like thousands of others enjoy the rush.

With only a red dot scope on the AR15 I bought from you, I was tearing up 12 by 12 steal targets at 300 yards. Plum crazy lower, cmmg upper, you are a dummy if you don’t buy two.
