AR 15 in 1963?

Time travel?
Interesting theory but I’m not buying it.

From Wikipedia:

The ArmaLite AR-15 is a selective fire, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed rifle manufactured in the United States between 1959 and 1964. Its military version was adopted by the United States Armed Forces as the M16 rifle.

I'm not an expert on these matters, but it sounds like there's a common misconception that the AR-15 only dates back to 1964. I believe that was actually the date when ArmaLite sold the design to Colt.
