An advertisement for the Colt AR-15 Sporter. The header reads "super hunting partner ... Colt's new AR-15 Sporter." The body text reads "With Colt's new AR-15 Sporter you're ready for a new hunting adventure. The AR-15 Sporter weighs only six pounds. Its .223 cal., 55-grain bullet has a muzzle velocity of 3,100 fps. Every AR-15 Sporter is factory targeted at 100 yards. If you're a hunter, camper or collector, you'll want the AR-15 Sporter. At any Registered Colt Dealer." The rifle is priced at $189.50. Below the body text it reads "Colt's Firearms" and "Hartford, Connecticut." To the right it reads "Colt Industries Inc" and "Colt Firearms Division."
Here's a 1963 ad for the Colt AR-15 Sporter (SP1), the first commercially available AR-15. It would hit the market the following year. Note the 20-round magazine. The US military didn't start using 30-round magazines with their M16s until the late 1960s.

AR-15 Myth Busted: Not So "High-Powered" After All!
Is the AR-15 truly a high-powered rifle, or just a media sensation? Let's break down how this myth started. It fires a .223 or .556 round, which isn't as powerful as rounds like the .308 or .30-06.

"clip" is the proper term for the device that holds/feeds ammunition into a gun. a "magazine" is a box of five or more clips... so named because during world war ii, soldiers were told to wrap their clips in oil-soaked copies of the new yorker to keep them dry

did you know the picatinny rail got its name because when it was invented, sights and scopes were made entirely of tin to avoid using more valuable strategic material... to mount a scope, you "picked a tinny"
