Shooting the Stoner: Mk23, Bren, and 63A Carbine

Robinson Armaments made the M96 Expeditionary, based on the Stoner M63 rifle. Semi auto only, no Happy Switch... (sigh).... Not being produced, no parts, no service support either, unfortunately. But they’re out there if you got the $$$.

I might be induced to part with mine for the right price. The M96 was ahead of its time, although it took me a while to get them to fix the initial quality control problems. Right now though, it's an awesome rifle that shoots better than any AR platform I own.

Checked for any M96s for sale and could only find two but they had been sold without any mention of sales price--

Mine cost $1500 new. When RobArms stopped making them, the price dropped to about $900. I'm seeing them go for between $900 and $2500 depending on serial number, condition, and whether it's rifle or carbine. Early ones had serious quality control issues. A bunch of friends and I bought ours at the same time. My original bbl and op rod were bad, but RobArms sent me a new chrome lined bbl and upgraded op rod and it is now a very good shooter.

“... to part with mine for the right price....”

It’s out of my league right now, $$$-wise.

Do you just plain like firearms? Or do you support the American 2nd Amendment in principle? If so, do check out this BOLD new website before they censor it: https://GunDynamics.com

Thanks for the link. I will add to my blogroll. (And visit it, of course.) The ownership of firearms is a foundational principle of liberty. When anyone tries, in any way, no matter how innocuous, to restrict or impinge on that right... our liberty is at risk.

I know this is a dead thread, but what kind of price are you looking to get out of your M96 FateAmenableToChange? Does it have the 20” Barrel by chance?
