Post-World War II 1965-1970s Colt Paper

1960s -1970s

The 1960s were boom years for Colt with the escalation of the Vietnam War and the U.S. Army's subsequent adoption of the M16, for which Colt held the production rights and would sell over 5 million units worldwide. Colt would capitalize on this with a range of AR-15 derivative carbines.
