The more I think about it, the more I believe that Ian and Karl are simply wrong about what Eugene Stoner would have done given the advancements in tech.
They're making a substantially upgraded AR15.
I think that Stoner and Sullivan would have been making a substantially upgraded AR18!
They did not make another design with a recoil spring in the stock or a buffer after the AR15. Their next two military designs both accommodate folding stocks.
I think they would have stuck with the AR15 gas system though. It's been noted that the prototype AR18 was modified from that system in favor of a short-gas system because Colt owned the patent on it.
Creating where they would have gone along this route is a lot harder than doing an AR15 upgrade.
Brownell's has come part way with their BRN180 uppers, but what to do with the lower?
I am curious if the magic done with the KE Arms polymer lower can be done again with a folder.
I don't know. But I'd like to see.
