Robinson Armament Co. is a firearms manufacturer founded in 1996 which is based Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. It produces and markets many different civilian and military oriented designs in the United States.
Some of Robinson Armament's better known products include the Stoner 63 derived M96 Carbine, and the Kalashnikov based Vepr series of weapons which are imported from Russia.
The XCR Modular Weapon System has proven to be their most popular, internally designed carbine thus far. It has sold considerably well among civilians, and has enjoyed some success with foreign military units.
In recent years Robinson Armament has shifted focus toward military small arms development. Their RAV02 MC Carbine defeated entries from Knight's Armament Company and Lewis Machine and Tool in the SOCOM SPR-V trials.
The RAV02 MC (Pronounced "RAVE") can be chambered in 5.56 NATO; 7.62×39mm; and 5.45×39mm. It was developed and tested to current military specifications. Soldiers who have shot it preferred it over the M4 Carbine derived products. Even using the 7.62×39mm round, it is as accurate as an M4A1 carbine and can digest steel or brass cased ammunition fed through Kalashnikov type magazines and drums. The Rifle Features the S.I.R. (Swan Integrated Rail System) which give the rifle Accessory Rails (Picatinny Rails) at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 O'clock positions. Reliability is advertised as being superior the M4 Carbine.
This was followed by the advanced XCR Modular Weapon System which was a competitor in the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) SOF Combat Assault Rifle trials.
The M96 is based on the Stoner 63 Weapon System designed by Eugene Stoner and used by the U.S Navy Seals in Vietnam. The Stoner 63's receiver, using a variety of modular components, could be configured as a rifle, carbine, a top fed light machine gun, a belt fed squad automatic weapon, or a vehicle mounted weapon. The M96 has been designed with similar modularity in mind but has been simplified for easier maintenance.
The M96 is no longer produced by Robinson Armament
