In 1957, Fairchild/ArmaLite sold a manufacturing license for the AR-15 Accessories to a Dutch arms manufacturer, Artillerie Inrichtingen (A.I.). Firearms historians have separated AR-15 Accessories production under the AI license into at least four basic identifiable versions, along with various sporting, carbine and other experimental designs and calibers. The four main variants have been termed the Hollywood model (the first ArmaLite prototypes and initial production), the Sudanese model, the Transitional, and the Portuguese model AR-15 Accessories. A.I. built the vast majority of these rifles, beginning with the Sudanese model AR-15 Accessories. The Sudanese version derives its name from its sale to the Government of Sudan, which purchased approximately 2,500 AR-15 Accessories rifles. The Sudanese was equipped with a very lightweight, fluted steel barrel fitted with a prong-style flash suppressor and bayonet lug, and weighed only 3.3 kg (7.3 lb) with an empty magazine. Over time, A.I. would engineer additional improvements and changes to the AR-15 Accessories, including the provision of a heavier barrel with a chrome-lined chamber, a different cocking mechanism, and a simplified gas regulator.[6] All of these models used the same 20-round lightweight aluminum magazine, which was designed by Stoner to be discarded in combat once emptied.[7]
