The M16/AR15 Rifle: A Shooter’s and Collector’s Guide

Whether a shooter or collector, inside the cover of this book, is a minutely detailed history of Eugene Stoner’s AR15 and M16 rifles. The development of the M16 rifle is traced from the adoption of the first American-made flintlock musket in 1798 through Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and other areas around the world to the present to show how the history of the country’s military requirements moulded the need for a small calibre, large magazine capacity, select-fire rifle.
