While Colt has produced a number of full- and semi-automatic rifles over the past hundred-plus years—1895 “Potato Digger” machine guns, Thompsons and BARs (including the famous Monitor) under respective licenses; and, of course, the AR-15—the company has had an on-again, off-again relationship with bolt-actions.
