Melvin Johnson - ARMALITE AR - 10 Project

1 post in this topic

A new book has just been published by Mr. R. Blake Stevens of Collector Grade Publications, Canada, authored by Joseph Putnam Evans, titled " The Armalite AR-10, World's Finest Battle Rifle." It describes the development of that rifle, and my father's involvement with the project, and as most folks know, it is considered to be the "father" or "grandfather" of the later AR-15/M-16.

I assisted the publisher with some material, including doing some research at Springfield Armory, and also contributed some original material for the book.

Anyone interested should contact the publisher at: Collector Grade Publications, P.O.Box 1046, Cobourg, Ontario, Canada K9A 4W5

They are also the publisher of "War Baby III - the U.S. Carbine into the 21st Century" written by Larry Ruth, which also mentions our 5.7mm Spitfire Carbine Project in the 1960's.
