 Over the decades, Colt has made many different types of AR-15 rifle and carbine models, including the AR-15, AR-15A2, AR-15A3, AR-15A4, and many other models.Although the sale of new AR-15s was banned by the Federal Assault Weapons Ban from 1994 to 2004, Colt and others continued to sell legally compliant versions during that period.On the 20 September 2019 Colt announced that it would no longer produce the AR-15 for private use, due to market saturation.It would still produce the AR-15 for police and military units though.
