Okay, so I've been searching and reading a lot of threads on here as of late about AR-15's. These EBR's are quite fascinating to me and I must have one. I'm leaning towards a Bushmaster but I have some really simple questions and yes, I have a lot more research to do yet.
What constitutes an EBR to be an AR-15?? When looking at the Bushmaster website or DPMS catalog they are all sold by model numbers. For example, Bushmaster has Carbine-15's and XM-15's or something like that. I can't double check here at work due to restrictions on firearms sites. What's the difference between the AR-15 and an M4A3 model in the Bushmaster??? Is the M4A3 not an AR-15?? I'm somewhat confused. I've also heard mention of the AR-10?
I know I want a 18"+ barrel and a flat top or removable handle in a .223 but that's all I know right now. I've heard mention of AR15.com and I will check that out tonight as they may be able to answer my basic questions here.
Thanks for reading from an AR rookie!
