If I'm not mistaken you can pay an extra $10 and get an HP tested one from Stag and another $10 can get you a full auto carrier. It might just get you a bolt that's actually marked MP though and still not HP'd. I'm on midnight shift or I'd call and ask unless Grant knows.
I can understand staking the necessary areas but if Stag is such a respected company and reasonably good quality firearm, why is it necessary to upgrade the bolt guts? I've never upgraded the bolt on any m-16 or ar15 I've ever fired or owned and never noticed any issues or didn't know better.PHP Code:Stag rifles are great guns. Stake the key, castle nut and upgrade the bolt guts and you will have a strong running weapon that shouldn't give you any problems.

I prepare, I strategize, I train....because the World doesn't adjust to our level of skill.
HP/MP testing is an extra level of QC that helps ensure durability and reliability of the BCG. Also, many of the "upper-tier" bolts (Colt/LMT/BCM/etc) have the recommended extractor spring/o-ring upgrades to further enhance reliability in carbines.
If I buy a rifle that doesn't have a MP/HP tested bolt, I replace it simply for piece of mind. A non-MP/HP tested bolt may last a lifetime and never have an issue....or it might break in your first carbine class. I have a mix of AR's, but they all have BCM or Colt BCG's.
The most common issues I've personally witnessed are broken bolts, usually at the pin hole. Even HP/MP tested bolts will break eventually, but the cheaper/substandard bolts break with far greater frequency and typically at lower round counts.What problems would a guy have if he didn't do these suggested things?
