Here is his
obit. It is refreshing what people accomplished 70 years ago without a formal higher education.

His designs have stood the test of time.
I still tend to think of the M-16 as fairly new yet it is over 50 years old.
Of course some of Browning’s designs are approaching 130 years old. I guess original single shot is over 130 and the 1886 is 126 years old.

Eugene Stoner is buried at Quantico, VA. The Nat’l Museum of the Marine Corps (also located at Quantico) currently has a display of Eugene Stoner’s weapons. The UDT-SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, FL also has an excellent display of the Stoner ‘63 weapon system. They used this weapon system (slightly modified) in Vietnam.

I love ‘em!!! Have quite a few but ordering another one next week, and this one will be a Sig516 Patrol FDE. Going with EOHtec optics, SureFire for lights and just for fun, the Beta C-Mag and Slide Fire Stock.
