The Stoner 63 was a 5.56x45mm modular weapon system designed by Eugene Stoner, designer of the AR-15 rifle. It was produced by Cadillac Gage, now known as Textron. Eugene Stoner conceived the idea of a modular weapon system built around a modular receiver that could be transformed into a carbine, rifle, assault rifle, or machine gun configurations by simply changing the parts. The first prototype of Stoner's modular design was the Stoner M69W, designed in 1962, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. It was named such because its designation is an ambigram, which appears the same when read upside down, symbolizing Stoner's concept of a receiver that can be inverted. Stoner modified the M69W design slightly and created the Stoner 62, still chambered in 7.62mm. The caliber was changed to 5.56mm in the Stoner 63, first produced in 1963.
The Stoner 63 was fielded during the Vietnam War by the United States Marine Corps and the Navy SEALs. Feedback from the field test led to the improved Stoner 63A model, made in 1966.
The Stoner 63 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
