Yep, a couple of VN era Stoners (Stoner 63, MK 23 Mod 0) would look good in my gun case. ;-)

Don't the SEAL teams still use Stoner Systems? I've never actually seen one in person, but I did see an ammunition box for one at a gun show once. My "brush with greatness!" Eugene Stoner is/was (is he still alive?) a genius.

Now that is a question best left to the experts, I don’t know. I’m of the VN era and know little of what is in the offing today.

Eugene Stoner is/was (is he still alive?) a genius.

No, He died April 14, 1997, at the age of 74. His arch rival, and good buddy in later years, Mikhail Kalashnikov, is still alive however. He's 88, and was born in 1919, three years before Eugene Stoner.
