Also, Colt doesn’t make the M-16 any more, either. Current M-16 production is done by FN. So not a win by default. M4 production is by Colt. In fact they are very paranoid about others calling their product "M4" even though it's an Army designation, and so doesn't belong to Colt anyway. Yet another company taken over by arrogant bean counters, who think the way to stay competitive is by hiring lots of accountants and lawyers.

M4 production is by Colt.
M16 production is by FN.
Both are still being purchased by the US military.
