There are many social and legal reasons to consider a budget model for a defensive gun purchase. If the gun is fired in self-defensive, the weapon will likely be confiscated and impounded until a judge ruling or even a court case. In many situations, the gun is never returned to the owner. In this situation, having an affordable yet reliable weapon is a considerable advantage for home defense.
Armalite is the original manufacturer of the AR-15 rifle. Their history and reputation precede the quality of their guns.
For civilians who want an M-16 equivalent for home defense, the Armalite M-15 Defensive Sporting Rifle is Armalite’s answer. At an affordable cost, the gun will be easily replaceable if the owner needs to give up the gun to law enforcement.
The 16-inch barrel is standard on the M-15, with a 1-in-7 twist. The 1-in-7 twist is versatile enough for both long-range ammunition and light, home-defense ammunition.
The internals are all anodized, which increases their reliability. The exterior of the upper and lower receiver are also anodized, giving the weapon corrosion resistance in accordance with military specs.
The furniture is also military specification, allowing hassle-free operation and handling. Unfortunately, this weapon is not ambidextrous, so left-handed shooters may want to modify the rifle with an ambidextrous safety selector.
