If the article is about AR-15’s why is there a picture of a 22 caliber rifle up top?

“why is there a picture of a 22 caliber rifle up top?”

Because most media knuckleheads are completely ignorant when it comes to weapons. And or they don’t care about the accuracy of their reporting.

Well, maybe the depicted model is chambered in .22LR. It sure as hell is not chambered for .223 or 5.56mm.

No that’s a 9mm version

That’s actually a 9mm pistol caliber carbine.

If you zoom in, you’ll see the mag well says 9mm.

Even so, an AR15 in any caliber is an AR15. Unless it is a mithell or other junk gun from the past.

Looks like a 9mm version to me.

Those are Colt 9mm SMG mags, not .22LR. Originally made for DOE NNSA/OST 40 years ago. Still in production. Good mags.

Correct me if I am wrong. The picture is of an AR in the 9mm platform. The magazine in the giveaway. An AR in the .22 lr platform will have a magazine that looks very similar to a standard AR mag but modified for .22 LR.

The real question is, why does that rifle have "AR-15" stamped on its side........
