The original AR-20 Nemesis (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=523631) was created by Phoenix Dynamix Labs in April 2007. The AR-20's creators looked at Eugene Stoner's original designs, Colt's modifications and improvements, as well as many AR-15 derived weapons such as the Barret M468, the Phoenix Dynamix AR-56, the H&K 416, ZM's LR300 and the Shrike 5.56. They also looked extensively at the combat history of these weapons and finally released an optimized weapons system and was finally deemed ready to compete on the NS battlefield. Four main variants were created with a variety of upper/lower combinations and accessories options. While the AR-20 proved to be extremely rugged compared to previous AR-15 type weapons, with equal or greater durability to the 416 in most tests, and offering ambidextrous configuration options, there was still, astonishingly, found to be room for improvement. Under the auspices of The Phoenix Military, Phoenix Dynamix's Firearms Division created the AR-20 Mod 1 in March of 2008. The mod 1 features several improvements which came directly from user feedback. The most dramatic and noticeable change is perhaps the lengthened top rail which now runs along the entire length of the upper. Another major change is the improved retractable buttstock which is based upon aftermarket add-ons that were being purchased with increasing regularity by TPM infantrymen. The integral flip up iron sights have also been improved as has the sight mounting system, allowing for use of backup iron sights while optics are still attached. Bayonet lugs have been improved in order to allow for a full size bayonet to be easily attached even with the 10.5 inch barrel. The improvements have been applied to the entire AR-20 line.
