I remember articles being written about this rifle at the time it was developed.
If reintroduced, non-restricted, at a reasonable price, it should be a good seller.
There would be nothing about the design that is not now in the public domain.
Of course, tooling up to manufacture a firearm is not for the faint of heart.

Guestimate to bring to market, based on current trends would put it's price in the $2500 range at a start. If it was mass produced.
Of course, everyone would demand that it be re-engineered to allow it to accept free-float handguards with rails and an optic rail on top.
Add more $$$ for that.
How many of you would genuinely pay that kind of $$$ for this rifle?
Yeah, thought so.

We have a bunch of them at KAC and the blueprints etc from Stoner.
The first guns where actually DI, that he had to convert to piston, as he had sold the DI rights to Colt (and made a buttload of money doing so).
Stoner never liked the piston guns, and 7.62mm was his first love for a cartridge.
Keep in mind Mark Westrom and his Eagle Arms bought the name Armalite which was defunct as Fairchild had axed it long ago, they have zero claims to any of the Stoner work.
KAC and ARES do (ARES not the David Herring Shrike spouting ARES DEFENSE) ARES was Mr. Stoner's company he setup after leaving Armalite (Aramlite a div of Farichild Aircraft Co.).
Of course the patents have long since expired - but as we have seen with a lot of otherthings, making a 7.62mm gun is not as easy as a 5.56mm one.
