SLR tips, tricks and observations

^^ go to post 65 and look at the pic, this is probably the problem. Also, you will have to install the trigger parts in reverse order vs what is normal on an AR. Read post #1 for more info.

The stock trigger pack is making me crazy!!!! I am totaly unable to install my trigger parts in it!!

Where can I see which trigger kits fit in without any problems? I am starting to be fed up to encounter a new problem every time I take my build to the next step!!

####ty trigger pack, missing charging handle notch, incredibly hard to install roll pins!!

Ffs I just want to shoot my new nr rifle before it gets banned buy those liberal ####ers!!!!

This is a mil spec trigger installation. Perfect fit.

The hammer must be installed prior to the trigger which is the reverse order of an AR. Secondly the roll pin needs to be squeezed and oiled prior to installation, which is a comment n practice on many ARs.

 
Test fitting a few things on my SLR from the latest batch tonight. Serial number is in the high 400's.

Everything went together pretty well, upper reciever is fixed for metal mags now, in the picture it has the RRA 10/30 pistol mags . The only thing I had to do was run a 3/8" drill bit through the safety and trigger box thing, and I will say is the anodizing is super "dry" out of the box but does look better once you wipe it down.

This gun is really light, using a 18.5" Rise Armament 1.8 lb stainless barrel and Brownells lightweight BCG, SLR adjustable gas block, Geissele SSA-E , SCH and Marine Bolt catch. Also a V7 Hyperlight 13.5" Handguard, V7 Titanium micro brake, and still waiting on a MFT Minimalist to replace this crappy stock. Haven't got it on the scale but it should be in the high 5lb, low 6 lb range.

Outstanding looking rifle.
 
I was really worried about the SLR being junk when I bought it. But honestly I think its just because people on here have no idea how to put stuff together or a basic understanding of research and problem solving. Like if you don't have a small hammer, rubber vice jaws, and a pin punch kit (and are willing to buy one) maybe this isn't for you?

So you're saying my rusty claw hammer and homemade vice isnt going to cut it? /s
 
A long pin punch is helpful too for that bolt release pin. I think I used a chisel for a hammer now that I think of it. I have thousands of dollars worth of tools, but the chisel was right there lol.

Got her ready for a coyote hunt tomorrow morning. Made some changes since I first assembled it. Added a strike ind bolt catch/release, pulled the UBR off (put it on the Stag) and threw on a Strike ind. Viper stock with the rubber buttpad, modified my trigger box to allow for my trigger tech trigger and this morning I slapped a vortex Crossfire red dot on a 45 degree mount. Had the red dot sitting around, we will see how it works, just wanted a fast option for those coyotes that show up out of nowhere. Hopefully we can draw a coyote in front of it tomorrow!

Put the lower together today.

With all the talk I expected major issues.

Glad to report it was easier than expected.

A few notes:

- XCR pistol mags seat tight and do not drop free
- PMags are perfect and also tried the Hex Mags - also good there
- selector switch is tight but reasonable (90 degree)

Lucky I had the correct Torx bit available.

Now waiting on the barrel and will be good to go.

What talk? from who?

Metal pistol mags are an issue in the Stag 10 so what is the common denominator here. Posters seem to blame MDI and will not show the identical displeasure with stag. (Shrugs shoulders).

A quick scroll back in this thread shows “Drill this, Emery that, etc.”

Other than adding a little lube, I pressed everything together with ease.

Now my serial # is over 450 so all seems good from my perspective.

Not sure what the Stag-10 reference is to, but who says the pistol mags should work anyway?

You are one defensive dude. A break from these threads will do you good.
 
Any preferred charging handles ? I don’t have a problem with standard charging handles - they work fine and are light, which is desirable to me- but not scared at looking at others, too
