Stag 10 Arrived, cannot break down.

It's a minor issue with a batch of out of spec receiver extensions that the manufacturer is taking responsibility for. Should they have caught it during assembly? Absolutely. But it's not something to write the whole platform off over. They seem to have rushed a bunch of these out the door due to the demand, but none of the issues are critical.
You are after all the ultimate internet tough guy, so I don't expect much from you in the way of constructive posts.
I can see this thread heading down the tubes really quick, so I wish the OP good luck. I'm confident that you'll be taken care of by Stag and AE. It's annoying right now but you'll be happy when you get your new rifle. Enjoy it!
My rifle's forward assist did not engage the bolt carrier. The bolt stop would not engage the bolt when manually drawing the BCG to the rear on an empty mag. I was using PMAGS which I considered to have a fairly stiff spring. Stag sent me a new forward assist that works properly, and I trimmed 1/16" off the bolt stop spring and got proper function.
The OEM BCG also sucks. I did not have reliable bolt lock-back on an empty mag using the hirtenberger surplus, winchester factory soft points, or my own reloads with 44 gr of IMR 4895....this is after modifying the bolt stop spring. After installing a Lantac enhanced BCG I have had 100% flawless operation with 38 gr of IMR 4895.

Sorry, but I can't help but worry when I hear about issues that should not be happening. Not with a platform that has been around for as long as the Stag 10 has.

A minor issue ??? I just paid a LOT of money for something that arrived at my door not working at all. It would have taken someone less than 2 minutes to check out this rifle to determine that before they shipped it. This is a first for me in buying several tens of firearms over the years. Thank you for your comments and intelligent advice but to me it is not a minor issue.
I can help but laugh at comments from people who slaged the crap out of the bcl for any and every issue they had but say oh it's just a minor issue with some out of spec parts no big deal. New guns have hiccups as long as the manufacturers take responsibility there is not much else to be done.
That's bull, as the OP stated. How long would it have taken to determine this problem, had someone taken a few minutes to insure the proper operation of the rifle before shipping. I don't think that is asking too much.

It was never assembled correctly in the first place. If it was a 30 second inspection would have shown that.
Just change out the buffer tube, it’ll take a couple of minutes.
Or just modify the one you have.
You said you’ve built a few so it shouldn’t be that hard to figure out.
Why send it back and wait a month for another one when it’s an easy fix?

I see these threads and it doesn't turn me off one bit. It's such an elementary repair. People should know how to maintain and repair the equipment they use.
Losen extension nut. Remove buffer tube.. Open receiver. File top edge of buffer tube. Reassemble. Enjoy.
It Literally could be repaired I n the same amount of time it took to write the post.
Also one should be happy the fit between upper and lower is so tight. Slop or play is not condusive to accuracy. I'd be happier if I had to take a rubber mallet to mine than if it had any play. If mine has any play I will be making mods to make it right.

Well first, modifying a factory rifle voids the warranty. And second, play or “slop” in an AR15/10 has no effect on accuracy unless you physically can’t stand it enough it causes disruptions in your concentration while shooting.
How does no one understand that he pulled both pins and it’s still stuck, it won’t slide forward (according to the OP). It’s not just the buffer tube at this point if that’s true, unless it’s threaded so far in its inside the upper receiver. It has to be a fitment issue where the pin holes line up or something I haven’t ever seen/heard of.

Yes, slop does effect accuracy.
I fully understand he popped both pins and it still won't come apart.
It's just tight. There is nothing there that can lock the upper to the lower. It's just tight and he's not trying hard enough.
Tilting it open would be easier than sliding them apart due to mechanical advantage, so he's neither sliding them or pivoting with enough force.
There is nothing else.
The only thing that might actually interfere is the buffer tube. Other than that it's a tight fit and nothing but.
It's a minor issue that's causing a bigger problem, yes. I wouldn't be happy about it either if I were you, I'm not touting against you here. My reference to it being minor is in reference to the overall quality of the platform in general.
You had the same bad advice in the other thread about this. What haven't you learned? This is Stag's problem to repair, not his. He's in Nova Scotia, AE could have him one by the end of next week dude...
