Talk:Colt AR-15 Identification Guide

Very nice. Pages like this (especially the glossary section) could be very useful on this site.----JazzBlackBelt-- 11:49, 25 March 2012 (CDT)

WOW! This is totally cool! I have had difficulties with AR-15 variants but this will make my life way easier. Can't wait until somebody with enough experience (and time!) puts together an AK-page, --PeeWee055 13:17, 25 March 2012 (CDT)

Unfortunately it wouldn't work as well for AKs. The reason I could do it (and also the reason AR-15s can be confusing and why I felt it should be done) in this case is that there are a large number of variants made with different combinations of the same parts. With AKs, this is not really the case. A guide of sorts could be written, but it wouldn't be able to have the table like this one as there aren't really standard parts, is more like "this one has a grenade sight" or "that one has a curved bit on the end of the the stock" which would probably be better incorporated into the descriptions on the individual gun entries. --commando552 16:54, 25 March 2012 (CDT)

This is great! Thanks for puting in the effort. I finaly figured out what a magazine fence is. --Mandolin 19:55, 25 March 2012 (CDT)
