Ive actually done a lot of reading and research on Stoner and Colt.

But thanks for posting this info, much appreciated.

Yea the first rifles made are worth buku dollars nowadays.

I've always liked the old XM16E1 a little bit better than the new M4's and Carbines like that. It's cool to see their history.

Awesome post. Wonder why the U.S. military hasn't made use of Stoners 5.56mm LMG? Looks pretty interesting. I like how Knights is trying to continue the Stoner legacy.

Awesome video, great info. It's sad they had to put that techno-beat in there, it distracted from the substance of the film.

is it lame as hell that as soon as they said Titusville, Florida I immediately knew it would have to do with KAC?
