In fact, radical would be the proper word. Stoner was a genius well ahead of his time particularly in the firearms industry at that time. Sullivan was very impressed with the rifle Stoner was testing, later known as the M5 (it evolved into the AR-3), and hired him as the Chief Design Engineer at ArmaLite.
At the time of his chance meeting with Sullivan, Stoner was making dental plates and in his spare time he would design advanced rifles. entering World War II Stoner would serve in the Marine Corps as an Ordnance Specialist. In 1939, Stoner worked for Vega Aircraft and with the U.S. His family would later move to California. Stoner was born in Gasport, Indiana on November 11, 1922. The Portuguese Army was well satisfied with the performance of the AR-10 and would have procured more if A.I. Shown is a Portuguese soldier with is A.I. That young man was Eugene Morrison Stoner. While working on a prototype rifle, George Sullivan was test firing his design at the Topanga Canyon Shooting Range outside of Los Angeles where he saw and met a young man who was doing the exact same thing. Even more so, having an individual that knows how to spot talent and grab it. Much success in life is timing, being in the right place at the right time. The new designs were to be made but manufactured by a dedicated manufacturing facility. ArmaLite was envisioned to be a “think tank,” not a small arms manufacturer. The Fairchild winged Pegasus would have a circle and cross hairs superimposed as the symbol of the new corporation. beyond Sullivan’s and Boutelle’s expectations. This company would have an impact on the history and direction of the modern battle rifle in the U.S. The money came from the research and development budget of Fairchild. Boutelle, a gun enthusiast himself, invested capital to start up this new company on 1 October 1954. In 1953, George Sullivan gained interest from Richard Boutelle of Fairchild Engine and Aircraft for his idea of developing a small arms design firm. Special Operations Command as well as the U.S. The rifle that Ordnance Corp would dismiss in the late 1950s would have its day in the late 1990s and in the new millennium would serve as the primary sniper rifle for the U.S. “Tomorrow’s Rifle Today” in the late 1950s has turned out to be today’s rifle today. That would be the one that started it all, the AR-10.
Another rifle has crept up into that popularity one that was on the scrap heap of the U.S. It is the most versatile platform of a rifle on the face of the planet. The AR-15/M16/M4 series rifle is undoubtedly the most popular rifle in the United State for all military, law enforcement and commercial markets.
