		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.
		The Stoner 63A now limited issue to the SEALs was designated as the XM23 for the carbine, XM22E1 for the rifle and XM207 (later the

	Stoner 63/63A 5.56mm machinegun -- SEAL/MST Weapons
		Dr. 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 (similar to the British BREN gun), and a solenoid-fired fixed machine gun for vehicle use.
		An additional 850 Stoner 63A guns were made between 1966 and 1969, and approximatley 100 Mk 23 Mod 0 Stoners were made for the Navy SEALs in 1969.
		Most SEAL Stoners were of the belt-fed, light machinegun (LMG) variety such as the Stoner 63A Commando (which had a shortened barrel).

		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.

	Modern Firearms - Stoner 63 weapon system: light machine gun XM202 and Mark 23 (Mk.23 mod.0)
		In general the Stoner system, while having the advantages of modularity and interchangeability of parts and thus great flexibility in tactical use, was somewhat too expensive and also slightly over-complicated for a dedicated light machine gun (or any other configuration).
		On earlier Stoner 63 system weapons, the charging handle was located on the right side of the bolt carrier; the safety and fire selector were combined in one control, located on the left side of the trigger unit.
		All Stoner 63 light machine guns were issued with detachable folding bipods; while tripod and even vehicle mountings were developed by Cadillac Gage Corp, it seems that these never were used in combat.

		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.

		Instead, I'll start with some notes and corrections to the Stoners as they appear in the first and third editions of TM 1-1 (I have never seen a "second edition" TM 1-1, but apparently they do exist).
		In the first edition, the drawing of the Stoner M23 Carbine is of the so-called "Dutch model".

	US Assault Rifles R-Z
		Notes: The M-96 Expeditionary Rifle is a Stoner 63 assault rifle updated to virtually eliminate the sensitivity to dirt that the Stoner suffered from.
		The Stoner System was tested by the US Marines, and they might have chosen it with some more development if Robert McNamara, the Secretary of Defense at the time had allowed it; instead, he was already in bed with the M-16.
		The Stoner has been described as a "do-it-yourselfer’s" weapon; aside from the barrel lengths and bolt combinations, the Stoner 63A could be modified to fire from an open or closed bolt, or feed from the bottom, top, or side.

	Biggerhammer.net - M96 Expeditionary Rifle - Review
		Tracing its heritage back to the Stoner M63, and sharing design traits with the AK, AR, and SIG 550 the M96 represents an interesting representation of various designs, in one well conceived package.
		Although its heritage can be traced back to the the original Stoner 63, the only part that is common is the buttstock.
		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).

		At ArmaLite, Stoner is more interested in developing 7.62mm NATO weapons, and is already working on the design of what was to become the AR-16 rifle (father to the 5.56x45mm AR-18).
		Enticed by Stoner to join him at Cadillac Gage, L. James Sullivan and Robert Fremont scale down the 7.62mm NATO Stoner 62 into the 5.56mm Stoner 63.
		The Stoner 63 Carbine as tested was suitable for US Army use as a combat vehicle-stowed individual weapon, and the Colt CAR15-SMG would be suitable when its deficiency is corrected.

	[No title]
		Along came Eugene Stoner in the early 1960s with the AR-15 and the Stoner 63 system which required a militarized version of the.222 Remington with the time-tested ratios (neck-to-shoulder angle to overall length) to function well in a full auto system.
		Included in the mix were the expense of building M-14s and the reduced cost per unit of the 5.56 compared to the 7.62 mm.
		The characteristics of the.223 Remington remained unchanged during those initial years, and the reports from Vietnam reflected what all the shooters already knew: A 55-grain FMJ at 3100-3200 feet per second was a marginal performer past 100 yards, even on small people weighing 100-120 lbs.

		In contrast, the remainder of the Marines' Stoners are exchanged for M16A1 at the end of their test schedule.
		After testing the M16A1, Stoner 63, HK 33, and others, it becomes clear that nothing matches the reliability of their Arab enemies' Kalashnikov rifles.
		The Stoner Commando LMG (w/ right-hand feed) is officially type classified by the US Navy as the "Gun, Machine, 5.56mm Mark 23 Mod 0." 48 of these are eventually procured.

		It was only pushing a button as the Stoner's were setup to fire electrically but it was cool to watch the tracers go down range.I have had the pleasure of hitting the switch on a lot of full-auto stuff but that was my fondest memory.

		Notes: This is an evolutionary development of the Stoner 63 light machinegun and M-16, blending features of the Stoner, the M-60 machinegun, M-249 SAW, and M-16 assault rifle.
		It is very tolerant of dirt or environmental conditions, and may be fed by magazines or belts used with the original Stoner 63 series, the M-16 series, or the M-249.
		Both versions are equipped with a bipod and can use any of the magazines or belts available to the Stoner 63A series.

		On a different note, Have any of you guys had any experience with a Stoner M63A rifle or a RA M96 Expeditionary Rifle.
		The RA is basically a copy of the Stoner that they bought the rights to make.
		It uses all AR-15 magazines and is 5.56 (.223) cal. The Stoner 63A was made for the Seals to use in Vietnam and was an excellent rifle.
