The Stoner system is our system and works well, even though some prefer the AK.

There are some foreign AR's out there that are rechambered to 5.56 for export. The new Chinese 5.8X42, Type 95, is one of them, and I've heard from reliable sources that reliability is an issue in foreign calibers being rechambered for the export market, and particularly the Type 95.

We might be better off rechambering the 5.56 to something like the Russian version than vice versa.
