Who made the first commercial AR after Colt? I don't mean under license from Colt, but a stand-alone company making their own AR's?

SGW was around in the 1950s and changed to Olympic arms in 1982. I think SGW started making AR15s in 1975. Bushmaster started in 1978.

Was anyone else making them before SGW? What about Frankfort or Sendra?

PWA more or less became LMT. Just take a look at the logos:
