Changing the name of what we call our rifle platform

There's already an MSR. It is a Steyr AUG clone.

If I am not mistaken, I am sure it is MSAR.

Shit. I think you're right. My bad.

I believe I will have TORTURE THE FUCK OUT OF ANYONE USING THE PHRASE "MODERN SPORTING RIFLE".

I agree with changing the terminology.

My Fiancee was talking about this earlier, talking about how assault rifles should be banned. Being new to the shooting world, I informed her that they ARE illegal, that what I own, and many others, are AR-15s. The AR stands for Armalite, the original designer of the AR15. I think the term assault rifle was people just running away and assuming thats what the AR meant, so anything that is a black rifle is an assault rifle, and anything thats a black pistol is a glock.

Since my M1 was built specifically to be used by a soldier in a war, does that make it a true Assault Rifle? And since my Bushmaster carbine was built for civilian purchase and use how could it possibly be called a Assault Rifle?

And why is the identical carbine my next door neighbor has in his deputy Sheriff's car called a Patrol Rifle and mine is called an Assault Rifle? And because my Bushmaster is black would it be racist to speak of it in a derogatory way?

I can live with Modern Sporting Rifle and will use that term for now.

Seriously! I've seen multicolored (not just FDE, OD, FolGrn, etc) duracoated AR's and I've gotta say, they look pretty awesome! Especially using Rit dyes to dye MagPul furniture interesting colors.

My favorite rifle isn't an AR. It's a ST-15.
