The AR-15's straight-line recoil design, where the recoil spring is located in the stock directly behind the action, [59] and serves the dual function of operating spring and recoil buffer. [59] The stock being in line with the bore also reduces muzzle rise, especially during automatic fire.
The simplest form of recoil buffer is made from a resilient and deformable material (leather, rubber, polymer e.g. a rubber butt pad on a shotgun). [1] A second way of producing a recoil buffer is to insert a spring into the recoil train—the path/part(s) generating recoil impulse.
The AR-15 uses an L-type flip, aperture rear sight and it is adjustable with two settings, 0 to 300 meters and 300 to 400 meters. [16] The front sight is a post adjustable for elevation. The rear sight can be adjusted for windage. The sights can be adjusted with a bullet tip or pointed tool. The AR-15 can also mount a scope on the carrying handle.
The spring-powered claw extractor is also contained inside the bolt while the lever ejector is located inside the trigger housing (actuated by the recoiling bolt). Further like the G3 the HK33 also contains a spring extractor and a buffer. The ejector lever was installed in the trigger housing and is actuated by the recoiling bolt.
A bullpup conversion of the AR-15 was previously considered but the buffer tube in stock prevented the idea from reaching fruition. [11] Technically, in the mid-1970s, the 4.85×49mm round was seen as superior to the then existing version of 5.56mm M193 round in use by the US (for the M16/M16A1) and by other forces.

8.6mm Blackout (8.6×43 mm), sometimes referred to as 8.6 BLK, [1] is a centerfire rifle cartridge developed by the firearms manufacturer Q, LLC. [6] It utilizes a shortened case from the 6.5mm Creedmoor necked up to an 8.6 mm caliber (8.585 mm or 0.338 in diameter) projectile. 8.6 Blackout is designed for use in bolt-action rifles or as a caliber conversion for AR-10 style rifles.
In 2014, he claims to have invented a forced reset trigger specifically for the AR-15 platform, subsequently acquiring a patent for it in 2015. According to Graves, he later licensed his patented technology to two well-known manufacturers of forced reset triggers.
