The original version of the AR-10 was designed by Eugene Stoner and manufactured by Armalite (then a division of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation) in 1956. Only four rifles were completed when it was submitted in the competition which aimed to replace the M1 Garand (which was eventually won by the M14). After this an additional 50 or so rifles were built at Armalite's Hollywood workshop (which are today referred to as "Hollywood Humpbacks" due to their manufacturing location and the shape of the carry handle) and given to travelling salesmen in order to pitch their new rifle to various countries.
In 1957 Armalite awarded a five year contract to the Dutch company Artillerie Inrichtingen (A.I.), who produced all subsequent examples of the 10,000 or so original AR-10 which were manufactured. There were three primary variants, being the "Sudanese", the "Transitional" and the "Portuguese". There were numerous other variants such as carbine or sniper weapons along with smaller contract weapons such as the "Guatemalen" which is similar to the "Sudanese" but with a perforated barrel shorud. All military variants of the rifle feature a shroud pinned to the forward section of the barrel, to which is welded differing bayonet lugs or grenade launching rings which varies with the variant.

after this was made, they made the "AR-15" prototype, witch resulted in the M16, M16A1, M16A2, M4 and M4A1, M16A4, Ar-18, Daewoo K2, and a bunch of other clones
