I was thinking a bit after reading today's Open Source Defense newsletter, where they pointed out that the AR-15 platform is a de facto open standard. I will be honest, I don't like ARs, but I have never been more intrigued by them as I am after having them described that way.
Are there any other guns that would qualify for such a moniker? It seems remarkable that there isn't an open source design for break action or bolt action rifles.
EDIT: It goes without saying that you should subscribe to Open Source Defense. Fabulous newsletter, free, no ads or any other crap getting in the way. One of my favorite things to read each week.
