Well, and after all these years, I thought it was the opposite. Thanks for pointing that out and thanks for adding your expertise to the site.

Actually you have it reversed. The gun is a Stoner 63A but the feed cover and tray are from a Stoner 63. The later version used heavier castings so that they would not deform under load or when the cover was closed with the bolt group in the forward position.

It should be mentioned that the feed cover assembly that’s shown is a late model, all sheet metal construction, versus earlier models that used a number of machined castings.

Very nice, thanks for sharing.
