One of the most sought after of the modern machine guns is the original Cadillac Gauge Stoner. Originally designed in 1963 it is a landmark design for a modular weapons system which can be a rifle, carbine, light box magazine fed machine gun, belt-fed machine gun, or vehicle mounted machine gun. A few of these original guns saw service in Vietnam in the hands of the Navy and Marine Corps. Very, very, few original Cadillac Gage Stoner guns made it into the National Firearms Act registry in the United States and these few are especially highly sought collectors items. This is one such specimen. Receiver is marked “STONER 63.223 CAL. (sn) / MFG. BY CADILLAC GAGE COMPANY / WARREN, MICH. U.S.A. PAT. PEND.”. This is the light box magazine automatic rifle configuration. 4 rare original Cadillac Gage manufactured 30 round magazines are included with this lot. One of the great appeals of the Stoner is the fact that it is modular. That is to say that the person who purchases this specimen, if they have, or can acquire the necessary parts, can use the receiver and change the configuration to a belt fed .223 machine gun, or to a Bren gun styles top magazine fed machine gun. This cataloger has fired the Stoner in all of its different configuration, and all are particularly pleasant and fun to shoot. Electronic NFA Registry indicates “STONER, EUGENE” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original factory black hardcoat and matte blue finish. Bore is near excellent shiny and bright. Bolt face near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. This is a fantastic opportunity for the American military machine gun collector/shooter. The dollar may inflate, but the supply of original Cadillac Gage Stoner machine guns registered for private ownership is fixed. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2022-11-82
