    Stag Arms Plus Package (Right of Chart to Left)

    Just noticed our local AR manufacturer here in CT is now basically offering a mill-spec option for the current line of AR's. For $100 you get the following:

    For those wanting a rifle with extra testing and also with features for the constant firing of 5.56 ammunition Stag Arms offers the Plus Package. This package includes individual Magnetic Particle (MP) and High Pressure (HP) testing of the bolt and barrel, upgraded barrel steel, and other features listed below. Available only as a complete package.


    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
    - 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 (1) 30rd USGI Magazine*


    In addition to our standard features listed above the Plus Package includes:

    - 4150 barrel steel chrome lined
    - 1/7 Twist rifling
    - M4 feed ramps
    - Individually MP & HP tested and marked Bolt & Barrel
    - M-16 Bolt Carrier
    - Heavy (H) buffer assembly
    - Two (2) 30rd USGI Magazines*

    It is nice to see stag offering an option to compete with other more fully featured AR's. I was quoted just a little over $900 for a model 2 +.

    I know I know its not a "Brand X"...but its a step in the right direction.

    I'm glad to see another company finally stepping up and building their rifles properly, the way they should have been all along. It would be better if instead of selling those "options" as an upgrade, Stag just built all their rifles to those specs. This is definitely a positive step though, and good on Stag. I've been using two of their stripped lowers for several years now, but not anything else they make.

    Maybe depending on sales they will make it standard, who knows? Either way I agree its nice to see them stepping up. I know they are popular at least here in CT because they offer ban compliant models along with lefty configurations.

    I wonder if they will change the GP size on the 1/7 twist barrels and do a better job of staking the gas key.

    Was wondering the same thing. My buddy's stag's carrier needed restaked. The castle nut was done nicely. Hopefully, they start sticking to the more desirable metals and follow tdp closely. If they do, stag might have a leg in the upper tier ar game. It needs to be realized that these higher standards can be adhered to with negligible price increase.

    Doesn't Stag already produce an LE/MIL line that follows TDP pretty closely? Given their resources (CMT) I would think that they could get the job done pretty easily. For some reason I would also seem to believe their testing claims more than a lot of other mfgs. It would be nice to have a cheaper 6920 equivalent that was readily available at most local shops.

    OP, where are you getting the $100 figure from? Sorry if I missed it.

    Thank you that is exactly what I did, although that is the "listed" price. When I bought my model 2 at the end of last year the price was much lower then listed. I hate to bug dealers with price quotes when I have no intention of buying, but JOJOs here in CT is a great shop for stags. So im not actually sure if its a true +100 to the rifle cost, or actually a little lower. When I got quoted for a model 2 plus, it was not base price +100.
