1958年,阿瑪萊特以AR-10的設計開發了5.56 x 45毫米NATO口徑的AR-15,同時阿瑪萊特努力地世界各地的軍隊推銷AR-10及AR-15,不過阿瑪萊特的AR-10沒有AI的AR-10所作的改良,反而具有AR-15的設計特點,命為AR-10A[25][26]。阿瑪萊特AR-10A的專利沒有賣給荷蘭AI,其設計與AR-15也有不同之處,除口徑與步槍尺寸外,AR-10A的槍機、扳機、拉機柄、彈匣插入角度亦向前傾了斜5度[26]。但AR-10A並沒有取得任何美國或其他國家軍隊的訂單。1959年,阿瑪萊特向柯爾特出售AR-10和AR-15的專利權,後來柯爾特的AR-15成功成為美軍的制式武器,而費柴爾德在1962年亦停止了與阿瑪萊特的賓主關係。
