    Question So I'm going to buy an AR15

    Do I have to get any special licenses for such a weapon in the state of Georgia?

    Nope. It's looked upon as a standard rifle. You need to be 18.

    I LOVE my Bushmaster M4A3:

    Haha Ruiner, I'm well over 18. I know anything barrel shorter than 16" is illegal I guess that is the only thing to worry about? I am considering modifying the upper half. Any laws regulating that out here?

    Under 16" isn't illegal, but you would need to get a Class III weapon (and pay the hefty price) in order to do so. The way that Bushmaster got around that is I have a 14.5" barrel, but the supressor on the end is 1.5" and permanently welded to the barrel. Thus, it is 16" long, technically.

    Eh, yes and no. AR comes from Armalite and not Assault Rifle. The M4 Carbine is a family of firearms tracing its lineage back to earlier carbine M16, all based on the original AR-15 made by ArmaLite. The AR-15 was first made in both auto and semi auto configs. Then, the M-16 came out (about the same exact thing, really). The M4 Carbine is just a shorter AR-15/M-16.

    Honestly, there's really not much difference between the guns. They all look the same and most of the parts can be used between them. Most M16s and M4s are full auto/semi/3rnd burst. Most AR-15s are semi auto.

    I have a Bushmaster AR-15 with about 500 rounds through it. I love the gun but I am moving and trying to sell it. I am asking $600 and if you're interested let me know.

    the only versions of the M4 and M16 that come in full auto were the M4A1 and the M16A1, after that they only had semi auto and three round burst.

    The M16 is an outdated piece of garbage, the only people that get issued those in the military now are the paperwork bitches and other people who never use their guns. It only has one advantage and thats long range accuracy but it would take an expert to notice the difference at anything less than a 300 meter shot.

    I know this, but I didn't want to go into detail. However, I do believe that M16A3, however rare, was fully auto as well.

    Negative...

    M16A1....full auto, non-removable carrying handle

    M16A2...only change was that the full auto was removed and replaced with a 3-round burst selection

    M16A3....New picatinny rail mounting system takes the place of the handguards

    M16A4....removable carrying handle to allow for newer optics to be mounted on rail system

    Outside of the militarys weapons I dont know shit about guns but I can tell you anything about pretty much any weapon in the Army. This may be a stupid question but what is the G3A3 and do you have a pic of one??

    fuck bushmaster go with the COLT, I have two myself. if it isnt suppressed or full auto you dont need a class 3 arms liscense. you can keep it .223 or go gay and swap out the receiver for one that shoots 9mm. anyway reliable gun and fun to shoot

    there is NO "suppressor" on the end of the barrel, its a flash hider. the barrel is 16" long


    honestly man do what a friend of mine did. buy the parts separately and put it together yourself....

    A) its cheaper
    B) no one knows about it

    only problem is: obtaining the lower reciever. thats the only part of the weapon you have to have the "license" for

    I thought you didn't need a license for guns in GA? Why do you need a license for the lower receiver?
