1. ArmaLite was the company that came up with the AR-15 platform and colt just bought out the rites so they could produce it.

2. Since you are inexperienced w/AR's you shold've posted before you bought because we probably would have steered you towards a Rock River, Bushmaster, or Stag Arms AR-15 instead of letting you get the Colt, dont get me wrong, I'd love to have a Colt AR, but your paying for the name, not the rifle. Those 3 arms manufacturers make as good if not a better rifle that Colt does. Shit for $1500 you might have been able to buy a piston operated AR. Just my .
