AR15 Rifle Design History
The ArmaLite AR-15 is a gas-operated assault rifle manufactured in the United States between 1959 and 1964. Designed by American gun manufacturer ArmaLite in 1956, it was based on its AR-10 rifle. The ArmaLite AR-15 was designed to be a lightweight rifle and to fire a new high-velocity, lightweight, small-caliber cartridge to allow infantrymen to carry more ammunition.
In 1959, ArmaLite sold its rights to the AR-15 to C**t due to financial difficulties and limitations in terms of manpower and production capacity.After modifications (most notably, the charging handle was re-located from under the carrying handle like AR-10 to the rear of the receiver), C**t rebranded it the C**t 601, however, it still carried the Armalite markings due to contractual obligations to Armalite/Fairchild Aircraft Co. C**t marketed the redesigned rifle to various military services around the world and was eventually adopted by the U.S. military in January 1962 and subsequently designated as M16 rifle in December 1963, which went into production and service in 1964
