Tell me about my AR

[Sonomer]

I'm not going to lie to you guys....I know very little about the AR platform. I inherited this from a relative. Can you all tell me about it? I believe it is an M15 HBAR?

Thanks all in advance.

Long story, short... You got yourself a good rifle there.

Very nice rifle! You should be proud to have that one.

It is an A2 style carbine. 16" barrel. The only way to tell if it is a true HBAR is to pull the handguards and see if it is a thick barrel under them.

Very nice.

 

[BossmanPJ]

Chrome lined barrel by the way.

Looks like you have a 16" mid-length chrome lined barrel chambered in 5.56. Can't tell, the twist rate looks like 1:8 maybe, A2 upper receiver, standard furniture, with collapsible stock. Gun looks in good stock condition.

Yup- no copper jacket smearing around the front sight adjustment!

Nice rifle. I recommend you get a sling and some mags and shoot hell out of it. Shoot the irons for now, don't worry about an optic. It's a fixed carry handle anyway. Just master the optics.

Even if it ain't a heavy barrel, it's still legal for you to take possession of it 'cuz you inherited it, so that don't matter.

Nice one.

Terrible rifle; you should sell it to me (if it's an HBAR)

 

[Sonomer]

Thank you all so much for the information, I am new to the AR scene and am looking forward to learning more about them, so thank you again.

Check out the "Industry Partners" section, "School of the American Rifle" subforum, and start reading and watching videos.

Nice rifle. Armalite makes great complete rifles that more often than not are extremely accurate.

 

[outrider58]

Anyone here remember when Armalite bought out Eagle Arms? Late '80s early '90s? It's got an M-4 carb stock.

 

[BossmanPJ]

I think you should sell it to me. I'm ready. Awaiting a PM.

This really nails it. Go to a class to learn about her, and get to a range while the weather is nice. Congrats on the rifle, sorry for your loss.

I read somewhere eagle/ armalite made the first midlength gas system AR

 

[nerfherder]

You have a very nice rifle there. If I were you I'd sign up for a class and then shoot the heck out of it practicing what you learn!

Yes this. Or sell it to me. Either way.

You could probably get a $100 gift card for it at a "buy back."
