We were discussing Stoner, etc., the other day in another thread and you mentioned a book that I have not heard about.
Back in the 1950's, the first .22 rifle designed by ArmaLite was the "Stoppette" (Believe it or not.) and was probably designated as the AR-11 - the caliber was .222. Now, I know who did 'not' design this rifle - Stoner, Sullivan, Fremont, etc., but have never been able to find out who did design the rifle. Does your book mention anything about the "Stoppette" or the AR-11 ?????? |

No, this book only covers the history of military rifles.

Quoted: No, this book only covers the history of military rifles. Sgtar15 Thanks very much. I was hoping I might get lucky. Just FYI, the "Stoppette" was the test vehicle for the Small Caliber High Velocity (SCHV) round and the forerunner to the AR-15. Looked kind of like the AR-3 which was the forerunner of the AR-10. |

5subslr5, get ahold of Gus. His father was directly involved in the R&D of the .223 round. He might be able to help you.

(Old crap like this doesn't matter much but I've become semi-obsessed because I've tried for years, unsuccessfully, to find this info - Mark Westrom doesn't know and H. James Sullivan knew but can't remember.....) |

He posted a thread quite a while ago about the rifles that were custom made for testing the .223 cartridge. He has the one made for his father. It was very interesting stuff. |

It was very interesting stuff. I 'DO' remember this guy and he might very well be helpful. Thanks Striker ! (And the hunt goes on.) |
