Re: What Would Stoner Do - In His Own Words

I agree with the whole point of the WWSD2020 rifle—to create a very standardized, capable, lightweight, and relatively affordable citizens' militia rifle. The AR platform is so modular and customizable that, with a couple of exceptions, there really isn’t a civilian standard. To my mind, those exceptions would be a close clone of the M4 with either a 14.5” pinned and welded barrel or a 16” barrel, or a close clone of the 20” barreled M16. Either of those clones should come with a flat top receiver, an A2 front sight block, and a detachable carry handle rear sight. Either form factor can be upgraded and/or customized to the user's preference as they become familiar with the platform, but a basic iron-sighted M4 or M16 clone is a great place to start.

The idea of updating the baseline to incorporate new materials and weight management techniques to make a better rifle is a valid one. But the concept remains the same.
