STAG-10 In the Wild!

[kagia]

Alright, thanks guys.

The block itself didn't look like it had moved at all, and the markings on the barrel from the set screws lined up perfectly with the holes in the gas block, but I applied some blue loctite and re-torqued them anyway. Hopefully that does the trick.

A few of the handguard screws were definitely loose, and the ones that weren't probably would have been after a few more rounds. Gonna loctite them and torque them down as well.

Did you guys notice any other screws in particular that needed some attention?

Cheers,
Kris

Any thoughts as to why these issues would be a rising with a Stag Rifle? I'd think QC would be a little higher with Stag Arms than the other competitor here in Canada. Should be receiving mine on Tuesday. Hopefully it's a solid unit.

To be perfectly honest gunner84 I would go over your rifle anyway, I usually do when I recieved a new firearm. I just never thought about checking a gas block. But you are right, how they didn't catch these things is maybe something for ARMS EAST to ask? Just an idea.

Yea mine was the same way, I guess with even a little movement it can screw up the gas flow? Who knows. I know ar10s are finicking in general.

Good to know about the screws loosening. Are the Stag-10 still in short supply or are they available everywhere now? Would love one for Christmas.

Apparently they are in stock now so they ship the next business day after your order. Merry Christmas!!

Maybe it has something to do with all those complaints about availability? Perhaps that caused a rushed job? I don't know and it's not an excuse but it may be an explanation...

Hi Kris, what is the torque that you applied for the gas screws?

Doh!!! But YAY!! Unfortunately I don't think I can wait for Christmas knowing this now.

When I order and get mine, I'll dimple the screw points on the barrel, torque down the screws along with Loctite or Rockset or stake the screws.

How much of a staking would you do to the screws? I locktite mine, I don't think I have much to worry about with the locktite melting but is it good to do both?
