Manufacturer catalog
ArmaLite is an American small-arms manufacturer best known for originating the AR-10 and AR-15 platforms; the modern brand operates under Strategic Armory Corps in Texas.
4 weaponsArmaLite is the long-running small-arms name associated with the original AR-10 and AR-15 rifle families. The current company presents its mission as manufacturing, assembling, and promoting small arms and related products for civilian, law-enforcement, and military markets.
The manufacturer traces its public history to Fairchild's 1954 ArmaLite operation, later licensing and influencing major AR-pattern rifle families before the name was revived as a commercial firearms brand. Strategic Armory Corps acquired ArmaLite in 2013, and the current operation is tied to the Bryan/College Station, Texas manufacturing base identified on ArmaLite's own contact and company pages.
ArmaLite's AR-15 design lineage became one of the defining lightweight rifle families of the post-1950s small-arms market; the catalog record covers the broader AR-15-pattern family rather than one current commercial model.
