America’s Rifle will contain the same information as the Black Rifle II with the exception of an expanded “About the Author” section. Small Arms Solutions note that America’s Rifle will be printed by the same company that prints books for Collector Grade Publications, the publisher of Black Rifle II, and adds that it means the new book holds that library book quality. Small Arms Solutions also note that getting into the publishing business will allow them to print more books written by Chris Bartocci which will include the next volume of this iconic book series about the AR15 family of weapons – the Black Rifle III (full title is not yet determined). In the below-embedded video, Chris explains the reasons for renaming the new edition and why it has been out of print for a year.

Currently the “America’s Rifle: M16/M4 late Cold War through Global War on Terror” is available for preorder for $87.95. Additionally, you can place an order for a signed copy that costs $117.95. The prices include the shipping costs and the estimated start of delivery is July 2022.
