[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Service rifles

I'm new in the Ar15/M16 market and abit confused about AR15 companies and their ads. They all claim that their guns are used for the Military and other govt branches.
Which Manufactures are "Actually" use by the military and others, I know Colt is one. Is Bushamster, Armalite or RRA also?

Thanks

FN makes the M16A2 and A4 rifles for the military.
Colt makes the M-4 series, well at least until their package patent ends.
Bushy has made parts for the military.
RRA has a DEA contract for AR's.

Not sure on the others.

And they are Belgian - NOT French. A very fine company indeed responsible for the free worlds right arm - the FN-FAL.
