Thought you guys would find this fascinating. Many of you have probably seen it, but for many it will be good first hand knowledge about the countries most popular Carbine from the man who is behind it. Lots of interesting history and facts about the development process and the unbelievable obstacles that stood in the way of getting this gun into the hands of men in the field.
He passed in '97, it would have been interesting to say the least to see what he might have thought about the rifle as it is today with all the aftermarket support and the manufacturers that have squeezed just about every last drop of potential this firearm ever had out of it in terms of accuracy and modularity, etc..., also the fact that it really did become one of the most popular firearms in American history owned by 10's of millions of citizens.
Also, very interesting is a meeting of the two men behind the two most popular military rifles in history, Eugene Stoner and Mikhail Kalishnakov
