Very nice. My office isn't too far from there.
I have entertained the idea of checking out various addresses of 1980s-era evil-rifle importers in town (IIRC, there were a few in and around LA) to see what they had become since that golden era.

I really like the primordial AR-10s and the AR-16s. Everyone always thinks of the AR-15/M16 when they hear Stoner, but the AR-16/18 was probably his most influential design. The SA80, AUG, G36 and the SCAR use basically the same operating mechanism with some minor changes to the op rod or the action spring set up.

I've always wondered why they went away from that charging handle configuration. It seems like it would be about perfect.

My first toy rifle was an M16A1. The full auto sound was electronic, there was a speaker in the magazine (20rd). It had an actual aperture in the carry handle and a post in the front sight. The trigger pull was crap, way too light. I had my mom zip-tie a paper towel tube under the barrel to act as a grenade launcher.
For a carry handle M16, the original location of the charging handle makes some sense. However, it would obviously be a problem today.
