The Stoner 63 - The Navy SEAL’s Favorite Light Machine Gun

This guide details the modular conversion of the Stoner 63 system, as demonstrated by Jerry Miculek. The process involves flipping the receiver, relocating the pistol grip, and adjusting the bolt carrier to switch between rifle (closed bolt, bottom feed) and LMG (open bolt, top feed) configurations. This inherent modularity was Eugene Stoner's design philosophy to reduce costs by allowing parts sharing between different weapon roles.
