This firearm is a semi-automatic rifle manufactured by Andro Corp. Chambered primarily in 5.56x45mm NATO, it is a direct impingement operated weapon system that shares fundamental design characteristics with the AR-15 platform. Its configuration typically includes a multi-position adjustable stock, a railed handguard for accessory attachment, and a threaded barrel for muzzle devices.
The rifle’s significance stems from its modularity and widespread availability in the civilian market. Its popularity is driven by its customization options, ease of use, and suitability for various applications, including sport shooting, hunting (where legal), and home defense. The design has evolved from the original Armalite AR-15, becoming one of the most prevalent rifle platforms in the United States, and reflects ongoing engineering refinements.
