Stoner 63

[Siddley]

I'm not going to ask for blueprints, but can anyone point me at some general arrangement drawings ?

I've searched the web and got nothing of much use.

There aren't any Stoner 63 related files on firearmfiles, as best as I can tell...

Or am I missing something?

Some great stuff there but I can't see any Stoner 63 files either

A fair amount of info and a manual can be found at:

I should have said that Mongo's site was one of the first I hit upon.

I think I'll try some lateral thinking and look for pictures or drawings of the M96 as well.

Basically I need to build a solid model of the Stoner 63 in Solidworks, so I can design a .22lr version.

A rimfire Stoner replica may sound really stupid but firearms laws here don't allow semi-auto centrefires, so rimfire is the only game in town if you want a self loader.
In theory I've also got the option of building it as a manually operated .223 ( no gas system, you cock it for every shot ) but the lack of primary extraction makes that style of gun very awkward to use unless you bolt on a huge charging handle, and that would ruin the look.

Did the Air Force ever have stoner 63,s? If so I might be able to lay my hands on all sorts of goodies as far as drawings and models.......

If they did, it would have an M16 buttstock, M60 forearm, grease gun flash suppressor, and a SAW pistol grip. You know how the Air Force likes to upgrade old shit rahter than buy a whole new gun.

yep....you should hear the story about updating the M16,s they had to A2,s...simple right.....swap uppers and rock and roll........but noooooooooooo I'll have to get my bud to tell ya sometime.....hate to post it here as it wound up being a huge CF.....I was laughing/crying so hard when he was telling me the story....can't remember it all now.....
