From the article: \u00a0\u00a0Legendary small arms manufacturer Colt has officially bowed away from producing long guns for the civilian market.<\/p>\n

The Truth About Guns<\/a>\u00a0reported that the move came to light after one of Colt\u2019s numerous retailers, RSR Group, announced to their customers that the company had made it known that they would cease building and selling rifles to the civilian market in order to pay more attention to regaining lost ground on vital military contracts.<\/p>\n

Colt\u2019s current lineup of rifles is all based entirely on the AR platform.<\/p>\n

Colt made waves in the long gun market in the 1960s after buying the design and trademarks associated with ArmaLite\u2019s select-fire AR-15 and AR-10 rifles, the former of which was adopted by the US military as the M16 assault rifle.<\/p>\n

By the mid-1960s, Colt began selling a semi-automatic version, dubbed the Colt AR-15, to the civilian market, and the rifle began steadily ascending in popularity among a variety of consumers, from recreational shooters, hunters, and law enforcement. \u2013 article<\/p>\n

Sorry, guys, you\u2019ll have to stick with getting short guns from Colt for a while.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah \u2013 if I understand it correctly, the \u201cAR\u201d prefix for things like AR-15, etc., is derived from ARmalite, and does not<\/em> mean automatic rifle\u2026. right?<\/p>\n
