 Colt AR-15A2
Colt's responded to the USMC request in record time, due to the fact that they already had developed most of the things the USMC wanted during various development programmes during the 1960s, and it was not that difficult to dust them off and put them together.
Colt's also came up with a new set of apertures, a smaller one for long range shooting and a flip up large aperture for close range.
Colt's Firearms Division was then sold off and became the Colt's Manufacturing Company and the AR-15A2 was reintroduced as the Colt "Sporter" rifle, with the bayonet lug removed and the lower receiver and mechanism substantially redesigned to make it harder to illegally convert the rifle to full-auto.

Colt redesigned the XM177 and XM177E1 into the XM177E2 which had certain improvements such as a slightly longer 11.5 inch barrel, but it too suffered from the same problems and the Army ditched the project.
SOCOM had earlier purchased the M16A2 carbine, essentially the same as the M4 with a standard skinny barrel - this was a precursor to the M4.
Colt's tried to impress this point on the US Dept. of Defense when the M16A2 was adopted, but were rebuffed, because the 1/7 twist is the NATO standard, so that was that.
