authorship[edit]

For better or worse, I guess I claim first authorship. I've made the references and links for verification, where I know them. I don't know that's involved in removing the notice of lack of sources. Tychocat 22:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am uneasy with the addition of the statements regarding the MA-1's construction, since no documentation is given. I have been unable to locate sources to verify the AR-5/MA-1 could be stored in the stock like the AR-7. Tychocat 04:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in my edit notes, you can find this information in the book "The Black Rifle" by Ezell and Stevens. --D.E. Watters 15:07, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please add the citation to the text since you have it. It's not for me, it's for the article. Tychocat 15:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am unclear as to the exact procedure. Here is the cite:

Stevens, R. Blake & Edward C. Ezell. The Black Rifle: M16 Retrospective. Cobourg, Canada: Collector Grade Publications, 1987. (Page 22)

--D.E. Watters 19:14, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Added to the article. Are you the same Daniel Watters of the Gun Zone website? Tychocat 08:45, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's me. --D.E. Watters 23:15, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PICTURES OF THIS WEAPON PLEASE and PICTURES OF THE .22 Hornet round PLZ!!!

And what vmax ammo to do to Ar-5??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.218.142 (talk) 07:31, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

design limitation[edit]

"Designed to be stowed in cramped aircraft cockpits ..." Most sources I recall give the overall 14" stored length of the M4, M6 and MA-1(AR-5) as restricted by the max dimension of the survival gear compartment under the standard USAF ejection seat. -- Naaman Brown (talk) 15:08, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NRA's American Rifleman: "Relic of a Different Time: The Lindberg AR-5A Replica"[edit]

Here's an article about a plastic model of the AR-5A offered back in the late '50s to early '60s. There might be something in it worth adding to the Wiki entry.
