	Modern Firearms - AR-15 M16 M16A1 M16A2 M16A3 assault rifle
		The Eugene Stoner, then a designer at the Armalite, began to develop this rifle, based on his earlier design, 7.62mm AR-10 battle rifle.
		One of the key advantages of the Stoner design, that must be especially stressed, is the extreme flexibility of the construction.
		The heart of the AR-15 is the direct gas system, developed by the Eugene Stoner in the early 1950s.

		The Stoner 63 Weapon System is the brain child of Eugene Stoner, the chief designer of the AR-10, AR-15/M-16 and many other unique weapon designs.
		The project goal was to develop a family of small arms built around a common receiver and a number of assemblies.
		The modifications were implemented in August of 1966 and the weapon system was redesignated as the Stoner 63A.

	CL Stoner LMG
		Eugene Stoner was a man with a mission, a weapons designer at heart, he was responsible for a good number of designs that are still on the market.
		Eugene was responsible for the AR-10, a Space age looking rifle (for the 1950's anyway) chambered for the 7.62 x 51 NATO cartridge which unfortunately missed out on sales due to the dominance of the FN-FAL and the HK G3, in fact some of you might even recognise the AR10....
		Eventually Eugene Stoner went to work for Knights, and ARES went into the "special conversion market", they are now currently marketing the "Shrike" a 5.56mm NATO disintegrating link adaptor for M16's which seems to have a lot of similarity with the modular concept of the Stoner 86.

		Stoner's latest design, a family of weapons known as the Stoner 63, were sent to Vietnam for testing, while the SPIW flechette test weapon program was re-activated.

	Eugene Stoner Designer Of The M16 / AR15 - Bob Tuley
		Since the design of the rifle caused hot gases from the barrel to get into the bolt area of the gun, Stoner specificed the ammo to use new cleaner burning powders to minimize fouling of the weapon.
		Although Stoner specified what kind of powder to use in the ammunition, the army instead purchased ammo using older "ball" powders causing serious reliability issues resulting in the deaths of American boys in combat when their weapons failed.
		In use all over the world, it is a testament to the talent of Eugene Stoner, that the AR15/M16 remains in use to this day, the longest service life of any rifle in U.S. History.

		The weapon was originally designed by Eugene Stoner, of Armalite.
		When M16 was designed by Eugene Stoner from the Armalite Company it was as the AR-15 around 1956.
		The barrel of the M16 was enhanced around 1967 due to an issue with casings jamming in the chamber, and the new version of M16 was named the M16a1.

	Vietnam War Guns - Machine guns
		Eugene Stoner's idea was for a modular, gas-operated, selective firearm that could be made into a rifle, a carbine, a belt-fed machine gun (right or left feed), a squad automatic weapon with top feed, and a solenoid-fired fixed machine gun for vehicle use.
		The Stoner weapon system was built around the receiver and in some respect it was a modular weapon system for the many conversions could be built around the receiver.
		O, the Stoner was very popular with the SEALs on account of the capacity of its ammunition capacity (150 rounds), belt feed system and the relatively high rate of fire of 850 rd/min.

		The advantage of the Stoner system was that the "piston" formed by the bolt and bolt carrier operated in a direct line and on the same axis as the bore of the rifle.
		Stoner's latest design, a family of weapons known as the Stoner 63, were sent to Vietnam for testing, while the SPIW flechette test weapon program was reactivated.
		Stoner experimented with thin steel barrel liners sleeved with aluminum in the prototype AR-10 for weight savings, but one such barrel burst during testing by Springfield Armory.

		Stoner was convinced that for long-range automatic fire both gun and cartridge would have to be completely transformed.

		Eugene Stoner, newly hired chief engineer for the California-based ArmaLite Corporation, began working on an interesting prototype battle rifle in 1955 incorporating a number of features inspired by Melvin Johnson's remarkable light machine guns.
		Stoner leaped over two centuries of firearms tradition by putting this bolt system inside a relatively weak but very light and inexpensive aluminum alloy receiver.
		Seemingly undaunted, Stoner kept up ArmaLite's commitment to the project by fabricating an AR-10 family of weapons utilizing a common core of parts and assemblies to the greatest practical extent.

		As as a starting point, they began with the Stoner 63 Weapons System which was designed by Eugene Stoner and used by the Navy Seals in Vietnam.
		In rifle configuration, the Stoner 63 fired from a closed bolt, feeding from the bottom of the rifle, and could fire in either the semi-automatic or fully-automatic mode.
		The only part from the Stoner 63 that may be used on the M96 is the buttstock.

		In Piston systems, the path of the operating force is mechanically shifted around the action, resulting in a considerable mass of moving parts moving outside the centerline of the firearm.
		This is not true: Army Ordnance tests conducted in the 1960s revealed that the bullet is 25 feet out of the bore of the M1 and 15 feet out of the bore of the M14 before any operating part begins to move.
		The Stoner system tends to leave propellant residue in the receivers, while the Piston systems keep the residue outside the action in the cylinder.

	Eugene Stoner - ARRSEpedia
		Eugene Stoner (1922-1997) was a ballistics expert and weapons engineer who, in the 1950s, was contracted by the ArmaLite division of Fairchild Aircraft to design a 7.62mm rifle for use by the US Army.
		The result - eventually the M16 assault rifle - was a massive saving in weight due to an extensive use of aerospace grade aluminium alloys and plastics in construction.
		Stoner was quite a prolific American firearms designer.

		The weapon is even provided with an ultra short paratrooper barrel and removable stock for use amongst commando groups needing lightweight firepower, doubtless to say it is a quick change barrel.

		Developed in 1963 by famed arms designer Eugene Stoner, the Stoner 63 has several variants, from rifles and carbines to light and medium machine guns.
		The initial 1963 version was improved into the Stoner 63A for increased durability in 1966.
		Although it was poised to become the US Army standard rifle, during evaluation the M16 proved to be more effective due to its lower complexity and maintenance requirements and was chosen instead.

		Unlike that of the M16, the Stoner's bolt carrier is cycled by the gases impinging upon a piston which is directly connected to the bolt carrier.
		The M96 had to be designed to fire from a closed bolt in all configurations to meet legal requirements for ownership by civilians.
		The operating rod and recoil spring of the M96 is somewhat similar to that of the SIG 550 or Beretta AR70 (i.e., the recoil spring is wrapped around the operating rod.) The bolt, though multi-lug type of the Stoner/Johnson variety, has been completely redesigned for greater strength.

		In 1954 Eugene Stoner of the newly-formed ArmaLite started development of the AR-10.

		One distinctive ergonomic feature is a plastic or metal stock directly behind the action, which contains a recoil spring that serves the dual function of operating spring and recoil buffer.
