You guys are too good!Garand pronounced his name air-end like running an errand.
Both of these guys were quite interesting!
From what I read neither really profited from their design aside from wages.

Bad quality but this is a video with Stoner and his brainchild!
Nother version. Still bad quality but worth the watch to see Stoner walking out of the water firing the AR10!

Mikhail Kalashnikov and John C. Garand.
One was a tanker, the other had a a "tanker" named after him,,,,,
One lives in a country that becomes a skating rink in the fall, the other had a skating rink in his living room,,,,,

I especially liked the belt feed for the AR! Stoner could strip an AR fast! lol
There are quite a few good gun videos on Archive.org. Their book section has a great selection of books from yesteryear from some of the notables of the day.
