I think that it was the worst Stoner designed rifle. The AR16, which eventually became the AR18 and contributed its gas system to most modern rifles, was ultimately a far better idea. Using a carrier extension as the long stroke oprod and piston is an interesting idea, but Kalashnikov did that better by making the oprod longer rather than having a gas tube.

I agree with the idea that we should own a rifle LIKE the AR15, but I think that there's some room for debate in which rifle is the best for any one user. If only bullpup kits could fit on the new Galils...
