"Are there any decent US made combat rifles???"
YES!!
DS Arms FALs, Springfield M1A... but why limit it to US made? We are now buying Belgian MAG machine guns to replace the obsolescent M60...
The list would be longer if the army pulled it's collective head out of its cavernous patoot, and started the bidding for a new, SERIOUS rifle for infantry.

Failing a serious battle rifle, at least have one made in .223 that works better in field conditions. A .223 AK type would be a step in the right direction.

But lets get back to the subject at hand here... hating the AR15 and M16!
BOOOO! HISSSS! Lets stone Gene Stoner!
Get a rope!

And all of you that think that the weapon is OK just because you clean it once in a while have probably never been in the bush with one of these TURKEYS.
Lets go to bayonet practice: Bent guns.
Lets sit in the rain in an LP, or cross a raging torent: Water in the barrel has to be cleared before you can fire.
Lets walk through a sandstorm: Forget about it.
Lets buttstroke a commie: OOPs, bent gun again.
Lets clear plugged gas tube in field conditions/firefight without a complete armorer's kit: No go, pal.
Lets clear one of the numerous malfunctions while under fire: Cousin of mine, bayoneted in foxhole while doing just this.

One two three four, M16s are really poor!
Two four six eight, ARs do not operate!
