I'm stumped! What rifles are these fellows sporting?

Back in the 80s I was amigos with a guy who's dad had been the president of Fairchild Aircraft. This was the company who first was involved with Stoner and Achison. I got to see and shoot many of their design prototypes, this rifle being one of them, I also got to play with and shoot an AR-16.... YES that is not a typo, and a mag fed 12 ga. that would turn into the Achison assault 12. I've played with just about every Stoner Prototype made. Lots of cool stuff!

One of the reasons I wanted one of the Robinson Armament M96 rifles was the superficial resemblance and modularity of the Stoner 63. One of these days I will buy one for that reason alone

Now see, we all learned something today from my eagle eyes and lack of knowledge about certain firearms. I grew up in Oklahoma on a farm and all I really knew about guns is my two 22's and a $75 Western Field 36 inch 12 gauge pump. Then I started my education with my Guns N Ammo subscription in high school.

The rifles in the picture look to be two different models but now that they are advertising their wares are possibly more than that.

Am I correct?

The Stoner 63 was modular before it was cool, and had many different configurations it could be set up in from belt fed, rifle, carbine , etc.
