Yes, the media are idiots, we all know that. But, there’s a rumor floating around on our side of the discussion<\/a> which claims that the rifle used in Orlando wasn’t an AR-style modern sporting rifle. That the media are generally idiots for calling it such. Well, they’re idiots alright, but not because they call the Sig Sauer MCX an AR rifle. Yeah, it’s different in some ways – it doesn’t have a buffer spring housing in the butt stock and the bolt carrier is different than most of us are accustomed to seeing. It operates on a piston system instead of the traditional gas operation – so does the AR pistol I built last year, but even Sig calls MCX an AR rifle;<\/p>\n
