outstanding interview...

the entire series

This is a series created from an interview conducted by Edward C. Ezell with Eugene Stoner in 1988 at ARES Inc. in Port Clinton, Ohio, footage courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. All I have done is fix the audio, cut some of the waiting time between tapes out, and occasionally edited relevant clips together. Otherwise, what you are seeing is entirely unadulterated.

I agree with him on all...

(SGT, USMC) I’ll take the M-14 over the Mickey Mouse .223 any day.

Anyone who has ever “humped” an M16 for an extended period knows what is wrong with it.

Dang.

I had a Springfield M1A with bedded match grade barrel 15checkmate mags, thousands of Lake City match thousands of brass primers hornady bullets and powder, spare barrels etc, with a folding McMillan woodland camo.

One divorce later sans rifle. It was my recreation for always attempting consistent MOA groups, range time may have contributed to failed marriage. (range was stump at 100 yds for paper and a 16” gong painted UN helmet blue at 250) located on a mountainside in SE Alaska.

Sigh….

An old friend of mine watched a number of his troopers die when the early M-16s failed to properly chamber rounds during a firefight. The weapon was modified to include the manual chamber assist plunger now standard.

In 1991 Basic Training they were ramping up for Desert Storm, they opened up old buildings at Fort Sill for our Battery and gave us really old M16s; one of the Drills explained that yes, these were the early ones that jammed which meant we had to keep them clean and oiled religiously.

When we got to my actual unit I got a brand new M16 A2 still in the packing grease, which was so great! Woooo hoo!
