I seem to remember that John Garand held the patents and production rights on the M1 when he designed it, instead of Springfield Armory (he signed it over to the US Gov't for free) when he worked there. Designers for most gun companies usually hold the patents and sign them over to their respective companies for a fee or royalties. Both Colt and Browning would disagree regarding Browning's employment (as would Win and FN), but hey, what do they know?
I defer to your superior knowledge of the subject. And to think that all this time I just had "a copy". Gotta talk to Colt about that add. Have a nice night!
