Original Note:
Although Eugene Stoner designed the AR-15 for govt. contracts, following his departure from Armalite he assisted Colt in producing a civilian model and later developed an enhanced AR-10 (the AR-15's predecessor) called the SR-25/Stoner Rifle-25 targeting civilian sales. https://ammo.com/articles/eugene-stoner-creator-ar-15-americas-rifle-forgotten-history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Stoner https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/the-evolution-of-the-colt-model-601/
