due to financial problems, and limitations in terms of manpower and production capacity, armalite sold the armalite rifle-15, abbreviated ar-15 design and the ar-15 trademark along with the armalite ar-10 to colt's manufacturing company in 1959. colt started selling the semi-automatic version of the m16 rifle as the colt ar-15 in 1964. the first mass production version was the colt ar-15 sporter, in .223 remington, with a 20-inch barrel and issued with 5-round magazines. over the decades, colt has made many different types of ar-15 rifle and carbine models, including the ar-15, ar-15a2, ar-15a3, ar-15a4, and many other models.
