My civilian AR-15 was built in 2014 and cannot be fired on full automatic. It is not the rifle the military issues. There are other differences. I don't own a military rifle. How would you describe yours? A clone, copy, lookalike, facsimile, knockoff, Kit bashed piece of ****e? The latter is probably most apropos, dontcha think? Aren't you a little old to be playing Rambo? 'Playing' is the key word. -- Guns don't cause problems. The behavior of certain gun owners causes problems. |
