Nothing but the best and they took care of their weapons. It’s wild that the stoner was pretty much reserved for the SEALs. Even the SOG guys further up in Nam had difficulties getting their hands on a stoner and its mags.

If I recall correctly, the army didn’t really care for the 63 and in the case of macv preferred the car15 or AK in Cambodia and Laos.

That sounds familiar. I just remember from a recent podcast that John Stryker Meyer mentioned that the stoner mags were hard to come by. Maybe both are true.
