The Anderson AM-15 is Anderson Manufacturing's line of affordable AR-15 style rifles, known for democratizing the platform with budget-friendly parts, especially lower receivers, earning them the nickname "poverty pony". Starting in 2009-2010, they became a major supplier, even producing rifles with a unique "no-lube" RF85 metal treatment for simplified cleaning. However, Anderson Manufacturing ceased operations in 2025, with its assets, including designs and facilities, acquired by Ruger, ending its era of budget ARs.
