Colt's Patent Firearms...
Have they had a completely original in-house design since Sam Colt passed on?
It doesn't seem like it when you see they shopped Browning heavily, hit both Star and Astra up pretty hard plus Stoner y Sullivan de Fairchild.
Compounded that they were the makers of Thompsons and many many outside machinegun designs (and Browning surfaces here again).
