[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 709436, member: 15748"] In response to the earlier question about only Colt making an AR-15, and only Armalite making an AR-10, the answer is yes. Both are trademarked names, and both will vigorously defend their rights to that trademark. Can other companies make rifles that are completely compatible with these guns, yes, but they have to call them something else. Rock River, DPMS, Daniel Defense or anyone else making an AR pattern rifle and actually calling/marking it an AR-15 will be getting a call from Colt's attorneys in short order. Ditto for anyone building an AR-10 pattern rifle and actually calling it an AR-10. Trademark and patent issue, nothing at all to do with what shooters use among themselves. [/QUOTE]
