Jack O'Connor would say, "What the hell is a black gun?"
Which is what we all should be saying.
doubtful given the AR traces back to the 50's and O'Connor discussed autoloading rifles in some of his books, favorably for certain types of hunting IIRC.....
Well, your memory is not quite pricise.
O'Connor discussed walnut stocked autoloading rifles with four and five shot capacity magazines.
Black rifles? He knew them not and probably would have disdained to write about such crap.
He lived the great and, sadly, ephemeral era of the true American hunter.
Now the sport is infested with ugly plastic guns and mall ninjas and loudmouthed immature slob hunters whose idea of hunting is to make videos of game shot at ridiculously long range to post and brag about on Youtube.
