Nope. It means ARmilite 15. If you don't believe that, then check out the AR-5, which was a bolt action .22 Hornet survival rifle or the AR-7, which is a .22lr or the AR-10, which is technically a Battle Rifle due to it's larger caliber or AR-17, which was a shotgun.

Okay...........now what can I do?......to escalate this just a little more? Let me see?
Edit: Joking aside.............. I remember buying a Rem 742 Woodmaster in 30.06 from a 5&10 store called "T.G.& Y".
I paid $169 + tax. But back then they also had the Armalite 15 for the same price- $169. It may not have been "mil-spec" but it looked like the M-16. A few people bought them....but they were just not a popular gun back then. Now look at them!

No it means Armalite Rifle model 15. Armalite is the company that originally designed the AR-15 later purchased by Colt.
@Nikola, No, it means people who own them can afford them, when you're old enough maybe you could to if you didn't spend it on airsoft toys and COD.
