📜 A Brief History of the AR-15
The AR-15 was originally developed as a lightweight, semi-automatic rifle based on the larger AR-10 platform (7.62mm). It was designed by Eugene Stoner in partnership with Armalite Corporation in the 1950s.
- "AR" stands for "Armalite Rifle", not "Assault Rifle" as commonly misreported in the media.
- In 1959, Armalite sold the rights to Colt, who further developed and marketed the rifle.
- The rifle was later adopted by the U.S. Military as the M16, following modifications for military use.
- In 1963, Colt released the civilian semi-automatic version, branding it the AR-15.
While Colt retains the trademark on "AR-15," many manufacturers now produce AR-style rifles, commonly referred to as AR-15 clones, using different model names.
