Colt

Colt's name is on the two most historically significant American firearms — the Single Action Army and the 1911 — and on the AR-15 itself. For a long stretch, Colt simply was the American gun industry.

The modern catalogue leans on that history: reissued Pythons and Single Action Armies alongside the LE and M4-pattern carbines that remain the reference for what a mil-spec AR is supposed to be.
