Can you upgrade a Stag Arms 2R LE to a Stag Arms 2T-R?

Guys,

I am looking for an AR in the near future. I have the brand narrowed down to Stag. What I need is a "classic" looking AR (I dont like Noveske's or DD's look) and mostly as reliable as possible.

Reading here I think Stag fits the bill as a top notch AR.

The basic Stag without front rail system will do, as I dont know what I would ever mount there. The rifle only needs an aimpoint and that can go on the receiver.

But then .... you never know! So can I just buy the quadrail thats on the 2T and mount that to the 2R? Or are those things somehow machined on or have special attachment points that the base rifle needs?

(AR dummy here :redface:)

cheers

Hi Teac/Matt. :wave:

You'll enjoy a Stag and find that Arms East will provide you with some pretty good customer service.

AR15's can have railed forends attached pretty easily, if you buy a drop-in rail, that is. You can get two-piece drop-in rails like the Knight Arms Co M4 RAS, Midwest Ind. MCTAR-17 and the Daniel Defense Omega 7.0. The first two drop-in just like the factory plastic, err, polymer handguards and are held in place by the weld spring.

The Daniel Defense Omega Rail is another drop-in rail that doesn't require any gunsmithing or special tools AND it is also a free floating rail. Free floating means it doesn't touch the barrel. This improves accuracy because it lets the barrel whip and hum and return to it's original orientation from shot to shot. The Omega just clamps itself to the delta nut assembly already on your AR.

I would suggest you avoid macco, FAB, TufForce and other cheap rails. You really do get what you pay for.

To attach the Samson STAR-C rail, you don't need to do anything to the gun, but you will need to either:
- Remove the barrel and then disassemble the delta ring, weld spring and weld spring clip, then reattach the barrel with just the barrel nut;
- OR, Leave the barrel attached and cut through the ring, spring and clip with a dremel or an angle grinder.
Then you attach the rail by clamping it right onto to the barrel nut. This rail also allows your barrel to free float.

If the Samson rail is what you have your heart set on, go for it, and don't be intimidated by the above 'operation'. You'll be cutting through maybe $30 worth of easily sourced parts or, if you don't have a barrel nut wrench and an upper receiver block, you'll need to get your barrel removed. Any gunsmith worth going to will have those tools, and I bet there's lots of Gun Nutz that could do it for you. We're a cool group like that. :cool:
