So I added another AR to the collection, simply because I got it for a good price and the current political climate.....
Stag model 1 with their 'Plus Package'. The plus package, IMHO, brings the Stag up from a low/mid range AR to a low-end top tier AR, but that's probably a discussion for another day. Here is what the Plus Package brings you -
Stag Arms standard carbines (Model 1, 2, 2T, 3, 8 and their left-handed equivalents) feature:
Carpenter 158 shot peened Bolt with black extractor spring
Shrouded full circle AR15 bolt carrier with side staked carrier key
5.56 NATO chambered barrel with chrome lining, 1/9 twist, double lead lapped, and parkerized under the front sight base
M4 feed ramps
F marked front sight base with taper pins
Double heatshield handguards
Mil-Spec size 7000 series aluminum receiver extension with staked receiver nut (also known as castle nut)
One 30rd USGI Magazine*
In addition to our standard features listed above the Plus Package includes:
4150 CMV barrel steel chrome lined
1/7 Twist rifling
Individually MP & HP tested and marked Bolt & Barrel
M-16 Bolt Carrier
Heavy (H) buffer assembly
One extra 30rd USGI Magazine (two total)*
Cost: $100
This isn't my first Stag Arms rifle, but it looks and feels better than others I've held in the past, or the model 2 I have in the safe. I was a little concerned buying it sight unseen because of what happened at the beginning of the year to the company, and not knowing what White Wolf Capital would do to them, but my first impression (after breaking it down to clean) is that Stag seems a bit better than in years prior.
The fit and finish is outstanding - inside and out.....very tight and clean; no play or gaps. Also, the gas key is properly staked.....much better than my old Stag. Everything cycles (hand) so much smoother than older Stags as well, and the trigger seems about a lb lighter and much crisper.
Overall, for the money I paid, I'm as happy as I could possibly be (with a carbine gas system anyway
).
Pics and range report to follow....
