Left side feed horizontal box for my Stoner 63a installed this weekend.
Super bad ass, whens the test fire party?
Little late for the test fire party, I had over 80K rnds though the gun.
Me likey! Now that’s a detachable box magazine!
Very cool.
After 80k whats the accuracy like?
The gun has a quick change barrel. That barrel was a smooth bore by then and was replaced. I have 7 barrels for my gun and plenty of spare parts.
Looks like a wee bit of tumbling going on with those rounds
I was to busy earlier to make a crack, but it looks lile someone poured a bunch of bullets in a blunderbus and let er rip
Now I know what 80,000 rounds will do to a barrel!
The barrel was amazingly accurate with just the last 4" of rifling left in the front. The accuracy went when the rifling all left.
So the barrel gets so hot the lead wipes the rifling away like its liquid?
dunno never have shot unjacketed lead bullets through the gun. The barrel errosion occurs mainly from the jacket and combustion gasses.
@Mongo .
Could you tell us the history of this one and how you came to be the custodian of such an important piece of history? How do you find replacement parts to keep it running?
JOEL!!
WHAT IF HE HAS TO KILL US TO KNOW?
Well, not my preferred outcome but, we might go down in history as the first to be mowed down by a Stoner 63 in over 50 years. That’d be something, huh?
Tell you what, sounds like something to brag about, so let him answer you, if it turns out that yes, he has to kill you, I’ll brag about you
A Leader has to lead, ya know. I got your
Six, though.
Why do I feel the request for volunteers was just met by everyone next to me taking one step backwards leaving me to look like I stepped forward?
The receiver is a Knight’s Armament which was made before 1986 and registered. The parts on the gun are all original and I do not know their history before they we installed on my gun.
What price would it take to sell it?
I have seen that tumbling out of barrels with full rifling, first time was basic helping change the plastic silhouettes on rifle range, it was 5.56 rather than 7.62. I had never seen that before and was wondering wtf, i was barely 18 in 1979 at basic training. Now I know that wrong weight bullets in wrong rifling twist will do it every time.
