While looking for the wages of Colt union employees I found something that I did not know in Wiki:
Bushmaster has subsequently overtaken Colt in the number of AR-15s sold on the civilian market. Colt suffered a legal defeat in court when it sued Bushmaster for trademark infringement claiming that "M4" was a trademark that it owned. The judge ruled that since the term M4 is a generic designation that Colt does not specifically own, Colt had to pay monetary reimbursement to Bushmaster to recoup Bushmaster's legal fees.
Wondering, is that currently true regarding production numbers?
The ATF publishes production figures each year. Bushmaster production has been at, or near, the top of the list for some time. Colt has had years that were towards the top, but generally is towards the upper end of the middle of the pack in production. S&W I believe overtook everyone in the past year or two. I don't recall the numbers, but it was a pretty surprising level of output. Something like 200-300k rifles in one year.

I did not know the man quoted above, and joined this Forum after his passing. He seemed to be a leader of men; both spiritually and physically. Someone we'd all be proud to emulate.
