Interesting question.

I would not call the design "state of the art"
However Guns don't really go obsolete do they? they're as good today as the day the first one rolled off the line.

Another gun might have attributes you like better but it's not like Air Jordan.. It ain't the shoes.

The AR15 is still a solid and well thought out platform, It's modularity and aftermarket support is probably 2nd to none on the market including the AK.

Other guns emulate it's buffer tube just to be able to utilize it's butt stocks.. think about that.

It's one of if not the most popular semi automatic rifle on the market in America.
Look how many people are building them? it's like with the 1911 just about every company is a meetoo producer.

So to answer how long will it be around? well it was designed before I was born and probably be made after im gone.


At the prices the AR stuff is selling for right now I see no reason not to get one if you don't already have one.
