In 1959, ArmaLite transferred the patent and trademarks to Colt’s Manufacturing Corporation, resulting in the Colt AR-15, which did not have the selective firing function.

As most of the Colt AR-15 patents lapsed in 1977, multiple firearm manufacturers began producing knockoffs of the Colt AR-15 under various names.

The AM-15 line consists of several rifles, lower and upper receivers, handguards, and other factors intended to be used with firearms in the AR-15 design.
