In that case, the linked rifle is an AR-15 platform, but chambered in the more expensive, less common .224 Valkyrie cartridge. When someone simply says they have an AR-15, you can assume they have a rifle chambered in 5.56 x 45 (or maybe the nearly identical .223).
At any rate, there are lots of semiautomatic rifles of various platforms and in various calibers. A Ruger Mini-14, for instance, is semiauto, magazine fed, can come in 5.56 x 45, but it is a different machine than an AR.
An AR-15 is a rifle based on one pattern of Armalite Rifle (a company that invented them years ago).
Kind of like a hamburger there is a basic standard of the mechanics and frame. You can go with a good solid basic $1 burger or go crazy and modify with all the parties, cheese, fixings erc. and you still have a burger.
AR similar. The basic mechanics are the same and entry low level one is around $600+ but different makers and owners do all kinds of styling and mods to them with grips, sights, suppressors etc. generally the base of the rifle is the same.
I'd like to direct you to something I posted a few weeks ago on some things new shooters should know that isn't often talked about. A rifle is certainly far superior in effectiveness to a pistol, but there are huge benefits to putting the work into learning the handgun. You may be surprised just how formidable someone can get with a G19. Bob Vogel is a great example of someone you can check out on youtube that opens the eyes as to what is possible.
Yes, that is an AR. An AR is basically just the name of a modular platform. The 15 is usually .223 and the 10 is .308.
I was at a Cabella's in Utah last week passing through. Only ammo I saw on shelves was .40 SW and some shotgun. Next time I'm in a sporting goods store I will look for .224 just to see. Glad I stocked up a while back on what I need.
I was at Bass Pro today and all they had were about 20 shotguns, a case full of the collectible revolvers, muzzle loaders and 3 associates at the gun counter with about a dozen people waiting. It's astounding.
That would be interesting, I've always wanted an AR upper chambered in .204 Ruger, but I never can find ammo so I never did it. Although I have no issues finding .300 BLK or 6.8SPC I would still rely on my 5.56 in a SHTF situation, well maybe my 7.62x39mm can come along as well.
Is this a joke, or are you serious?

I would not buy the one you linked to.
Yes it is an AR. A hopped up version.
Assuming you're sincere.
AR is a platform of a gun.

"I have too much ammo" said no one. Ever.
I have a Smith & Wesson M&P sport AR 15. Its entry level but its better than nothing and I like it.
This rifle is chambered in 224 valk. You want an AR in standard 5.56/.223 rem
Exactly what I was going to post. I'm not familiar w .224 ammo and it's availability.
I'm guessing with the current run on guns right now, only the odd calibers are available.

All my go to ammo sites are picked clean of 300 and 7.62 x 39. Glad I stocked up a while ago.
It's moments like this when my friends and family looked at me crazy and asked why I needed so much ammo.
