#InstituteOfMilitaryTechnology

We are all familiar with the AR15 and M16 and you’re almost certainly familiar with the man behind the design, Eugene Morrison Stoner. Well,  The Institute of Military Technology has put together a fascinating documentary telling the story of the man and the guns he designed. IMT are in the unique position of having many of Stoner’s prototypes in their collection as well as archival photographs and many of his original design papers and drawings.

As the late, great Hognose would say – Bottom Line Up Front: Yours truly has secured a position working at the Institute of Military Technology in Florida. I will be starting the position later this month and have been in the meantime getting ready for a move across four states (almost 1,000 miles – 1,500 km for non-USians) to my new home on the East Coast. My new job will bring me to one of the largest collections of firearms in the US, and I’ll be working in the same building with one of the biggest names in firearms – Knight’s Armament Company.
