The modular weapon system. The Eugene Stoner 63 system. A concept worthy and valid that for whatever reason never took off as it should have.
"Eugene Stoner pioneered the modular weapon system through his all-in-one Stoner 63 automatic series . . . The Stoner 63 utilized a common receiver core to which various feeds, barrels, shoulder stocks, and other components were attached to configure the weapon's in-the-field service . . . the weapon could take on various profiles to suit the mission need."
