Eugene Stoner was born on this day ( Nov 22 ) in 1922.
I think its fair to say that had he not invented the AR-10 and AR-15, we wouldn't be here.
I happen to know its his birthday because it also happens to be MY BIRTHDAY too!!! ha ha !
And yes, coincidentally my name is also Gene !! ha ha ha ! ( But I assure you that the similarities end there. ha ha ha ! )
At any rate, I have always admired this man's genius and thought that he might deserve mention here on this special date amongst so many of us who love his guns.... ( even if maybe not his 223 caliber so much....).
