Anderson Manufacturing AM15 Patriot Pro-M 5.56 NATO AR-15

A: Hi Jon and welcome. Buds is using an incorrect stock photo. A correction has been sent to Buds as this model comes with the 15-inch forend. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Hi Jon, this comes with a 15" handguard, correct picture can be seen here >>> https://battlehawkarmory.com/product-details?id=7043675 Stay safe & have a great day!

A: You have good eyes!!! As James mentioned, that photo is incorrect and not depicting the actual product.

A: Hi Thomas, the cartridge cases of the 223 Rem and 5.56 NATO appear identical on the outside, but 5.56 cases can have minutely thicker case walls and generate more pressure. If a gun is rated for 5.56 it can shoot both 5.56 and .223. A gun rated for .223 can only shoot .223. . Yes, Bud's is in Lexington KY. Bud's also has a gun shop in Sewvierville TN. . Stay safe & have a great day!

A: Hi Thomas and welcome. This model has a barrel stamped 5.56NATO so it will shoot both 5.56 and .223 ammunition no issue. If the barrel was stamped .223REM it would only be recommended to shoot .223 only due to the extra pressure of the 5.56 ammunition. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

A: buds has 3 locations 2 in KY and in in TN any gun marked 5.56 can safely shoot a 223 cartridge but you can not use a 5.56 round in a barrel marked .223 only

A: 223 rem and5.56.

A: There is a Bud's located in Lexington, KY. As far as the rifle. It's chambered for 5.56 which allows the shooter to safely load and shoot .223 as well. Not the other way around though. If it were chambered for .223 then it couldn't shoot the higher pressure 5.56 cartridge.

A: On a quick glance, Right off the bat I'm seeing different handrail, different stock & different grip.

A: Hi Jeremy and welcome. The Handguard is the main difference. Stock, pistol grip and core rifles are the same. Cheers and stay safe!

A: I just looked at both side by side & stand by my comment.

A: Hi Adam and welcome back. I originally found these specs by looking up various vendor sites including similar models on Anderson's website. I can assure you they are accurate. Barrel thread is 1/2x28 - barrel material = 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium - Bolt carrier material = 8620 Steel. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

A: Hi Adam, there is very little info out there regarding the specs on this gun. You can look at similar models, but not this exact one. Good luck, stay safe, & have a great day!
