I fired the Robinson arms "version" I like it better than my ar15.
It's the original piston ar basically.

No, the Stoner was a squad auto/LMG. The piston AR is the AR-180, which was cheaper to make than an AR-15. It had a number of features that made it better than the AR-15, including a scope mounting base welded on the receiver.Comment

I don't think Stoner ever worked on the AR180, although didn't AR base their AR180 off Stoners AR16? From what I've read, most of his designs are piston based and in 7.62 NATO.
It almost seems like the AR15 was a one off for him.Last edited by SanPedroShooter; 09-10-2013, 7:32 AM.Comment

I'm sorta an expert on the stoner
spent countless hours firing one on COD. Not nearly as customizable as all other weapons, but not bad.Comment
