Site Embraces the AR15

Originally developed by Armalite, the AR15 rifle was sold to Colt in the late 1950s. According to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, "In 1960 a milestone in Colt history began with the introduction of the AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, followed by the M16 military full-automatic version. Involvement of the United States in Vietnam again put heavy demands on Colt to supply arms for the troops.... On 28 February 1967, the United States Army adopted the XM16E1 rifle as a standard United States M16A1 rifle, 5.56mm."

Today, the AR15 is manufactured by a variety of companies. Its value to law enforcement and other shooters lies in its accuracy and low cost. Its flexible arrangement means that the AR15 can accommodate a variety of accessories and sights, and that replacing parts is fairly straightforward.
