	M96 Subassemblies and History at Impact Guns Home
		In developing the M96 Expeditionary(tm) Rifle, the goal was to design a fully modular firearm which could be assembled in a variety of configurations.
		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.

	M96 FAQS
		Like the Stoner 63 before it, the M96 can be configured as a rifle, a carbine, and a top-fed rifle by depending on which parts added to a common receiver.
		Both the M96 and AR15 are gas operated which means they use the expanding gasses of the fired cartridge to cycle their actions.
		The barrels of the M96 have a gas adjustment which allows the operator to use more or less of the gasses to cycle the firearm.

		M96 is the brightest member of the Leo I group of galaxies, which is therefore also called the M96 group.
		It is common that dust appears with greater contrast on the near side of a galaxy than on the far side, so this asymmetry indicates that the near side of M96 is on the left in our image.
		de Vaucouleurs has determined that M96 is inclined by 35 degrees to our line of sight, and that it rotates with the spiral arms trailing.

		The M96 is nearly identical in external appearance to the Stoner 63 rifle/light machine gun, and was designed to be modular and configurable like the Stoner.
		The M96 is chambered in.223 Remington (although it appears to be capable of firing the 5.56mm NATO cartridge) and uses AR15 magazines.
		The M96 is a gas-operated semi-automatic in operation, with a fixed gas cylinder and moving piston connected to the operating rod and bolt carrier.

	The M96 group
		The Sc galaxy NGC 3389, which is in the same field and close to M105, is probably a background galaxy, as its redshift corresponds to a receding velocity of 1138 km/sec, whereas the members of the Leo I group have radial velocities of only 449..766 km/sec.
		He and his coworkers found 8 Delta Cephei variable stars in the brightest galaxy of the group, M96, and were able to derive its distance from the Cepheid period-luminosity relation: M96 is 231+/-13 times more remote from us than the Large Magellanic Cloud, thus 12.7+/-0.8 Mpc (41+/-2 million light years).
		The M96 group may be physically related to the M66 group which is roughly at the same distance and situated rather nearby in the sky.

		Still I was able to bring some detail to this image, including the dust lanes in the periphery of the core and the edge on galaxy in the halo surrounding the M96.
		Given its greatly reddened appearence, it would be a good guess that this galaxy is behind M96 and we are peering through the intervening clouds of gas and dust (in M96) to see it.
		Together these two observations are important because they can be used to calibrate distance indicators on galactic scales (the distance as measured by supernovae in M96 agrees with the distance as measured by Cepheid variables).

	Biggerhammer.net - M96 Expeditionary Rifle - Review
		The M96 utilizes a rotating multi-lug bolt (similar to an AR15 bolt), and a gas piston surrounded by a recoil spring, connected to the bolt to cycle the rifle (unlike the AR15, which uses direct gas pressure on the bolt carrier).
		The only problem at the end of the days firing was a loosening of the grip assembly, which was easily remedied (this was also exhibited on a second test gun that I fired).
		Much like the SIG 550 and FAL, the M96 bounces fired brass off the portion of receiver directly behind the ejection port; a series of small brass marks was visible at the end of the days firing.

		This sparse grouping of nearby galaxies has proved to be of great importance during the last decade in establishing a standard scale for the measurement of extragalactic distances.
		Evidence that the giant ring was interacting with M96 suggested that M96, M95 and the M105 group all lie at the same distance.
		A conspicuous feature of M96 is the faint outer spiral arm which encircles the galaxy with an overall diameter of about 100,000 light years.

	hktome's Robinson Armament M96 Review at Quarterbore's Forums
		In its earliest form it was known as the M96 Expeditionary Rifle which made its debut during the early years of the "assault weapons ban"which was put in place in 1994 by then President Bill Clinton and happily expired on September 13 2004!
		The rifle at first glance appears to be largly influenced by the Stoner 63 machine gun system, made famous during the Vietnam War, but is in fact an update of that design to such an extent that only the detachable buttstock is interchangable.
		The receiver is constructed of stainless steel sheet metal, precision TIG welded, and forms the modular center piece to this weapon platform.The buttstock, as well as the forearm and pistol grip are made from a sturdy thermo plastic resin and available in a variety of colors (currently:Black, O.D. Green, and Coyote Brown).

	M96 CALIFORNIA RECON CARBINE
		In March of 2001, we sent a sample of the M96 without a pistol grip and with and without a pistol grip stud to the Department of Justice ("DOJ") of the State of California.
		The essence of the DOJ's response was that they would not state whether or not the rifle was legal in the State of California.
		The M96 is not a listed firearm and, without the grip, does not have the characteristics prohibited in the State of California.

	Any thoughts on the Robarms M96? - TheFiringLine Forums
		The M96 clearly is not meant to be a precision rifle, nor a long-range varminter.
		That leaves the M96 and I was considering a Rock River Arms AR after all the good things I've been hearing about them.
		Since the M96 uses pins to hold the upper to the lower (as does the AR), it is possible to have some play.

		From what I can see, it is damn near perfection where a family of small arms are concerned, and would make a great replacement for the current weapons in service for both America (M16, SAW) and the UK, (SA-80, LSW, Minimi-Para).
		10/27/2004 2:24:09 PM The "Robinson M96" is nothing but a 9admittedly nice-looking) reproduction of the Stoner 63 infantry Weapon System, designed by Eugene Stoner (who also designed the AR-15/M-16 family of rifles and LMGs) for Armalite division of Fairchild Aircraft in the early 1960s.
		PS 10/27/2004 3:08:05 PM eon, I did point out that it was just an updeated version of the Stoner system I think, and I believe Robarm do give credit to the origional weapon in their history setion of their web-site.

	DSA FAL vs. Robinson M96 - TheFiringLine Forums
		I like the idea of the larger caliber, but I watched the M96 video on the Robinson Armament site, and they were really able to fire that rapidly with very little kick.
		The M96 receiver is not open like the FAL rec, so it is harder to clean.
		One neat feature of the M96 is that the barrel drops right out in about 2 seconds, so you can get another carbine or full-length barrel, or even the "recon" kit, which has a shorter gas system.

	Supernova 1998bu in M96
		Supernova 1998bu occurred in M96 on May 9, 1998 and was discovered by Italian amateur astronomer Mirko Villi, one of the maintainers of the International Supernova Network, on CCD image when it was at 13th magnitude, and rapidly brightening to 11.8 mag.
		This supernova was the first one the present author (hf) observed with his own eyes, when it appeared almost as bright as the nucleus of M96.
		In case of Supernova 1998bu, this may be of particular interest with respect to the cosmic distance scale determination, as supernovae of this type are often regarded as one of the more reliable "standard candles" for determining distances of more remote galaxies, and M96 has a Cepheid distance determined by the Hubble Space Telescope.

		The M96 group of galaxies (also known as the Leo I group or simply the M96 group) is a physical group of galaxies in the Leo constellation consisting of Spiral Galaxy M95, Spiral Galaxy M96, Elliptical Galaxy M105, and a number of fainter galaxies.
		This group does not contain the Leo I dwarf galaxy, which is actually a member of the Local Group, making the group's alternate name confusing.
		The M96 group may be in the same supercluster as the M66 Group.
