When listing an AR on ODT, why would you list it as a M16?

One could argue, with merit, that a select-fire copy of the M16 / M16A1 /

WTS - Transferable Colt AR15 SP1 (aka M16) Conversion by Earl Banta - $26000

Early Colt SP1 that was converted to full auto by Earls Gunshop / Earl Banta. Gun has had minimal use, has not been run hard, and is in the SP1 configuration. $26000 Also open to partial trades for STI firearms and modern Anschutz 3 position match rifles.

AR with tax stamp = legal full auto

That ain't what I said.

You are arguing with 3 FFL holders as to what firearms models are legally labeled and called. As in, when the ATF audits our paperwork, what HAS to be on our paperwork. SMGDMFH

It’s the new “clip/magazine” argument.

I mean, there IS a right and wrong… but who cares enough to get upset about it?

This.

While we're at it, let's fire up the ol' "it's a magazine not a clip" boomer meltdown.

You were literally 3 seconds ahead of me.

I finally beat you to one

I might start a thread about people stealing my thoughts and reposting them to gain credibility amongst their peers…

One can argue, with merit, that the "M16" in Post #1 is still just an "M16 clone".....albeit, a much cooler, more expensive, and more accurate clone than most.

Part of the definition of the M16 / M16A1 / M16A2 / M16A4 is that they are a service rifle. The definition of a service rifle is, "The service rifle (also known as standard-issue rifle) of a given army or armed force is that which it issues as standard to its soldiers."

The M16 in Post #1, as cool as it is, was never issued as a complete arm to a military, therefore is not a service rifle, and therefore is not a true "M16".

I worked for a pawn shop where the owner corrected everyone every time they called a magazine a clip. It seemed very exhausting

Let’s just face it….people suck , people lie …..especially when it comes to business, money and/or reputation!

Well said, if you want to know a man's integrity...take him to a golf course.

I'm a huge fan of clear communication. If a customer walks into the shop, and says, "Y'all got 30rd clips for my AR?", I know exactly what he's looking for.

I do not understand all of this verbal disagreement nonsense over what something is called. No one needs an assault weapon anyway. They kill people. Purchase a double barrel shotgun. The looks of it will scare bad people away without having to fire a shot. Thanks.
