My Stag arms AR15 bolt catch broke

[GLOCK_PERFECTION]

Hi,

My Stag arms AR15 bolt catch just broke. You can see in pics that the bolt catch seem hollow/empty. This part look like cheap MIM metal. I just wish that my part is the exception and I was just not lucky......

I never knew.

You mean it's MIMC
Made In Mainland China LOL

That is weird though. I better check my STAG bolts/Carriers more closely

Huh, I though Stag made everything in house. Their stuff is supposed to be pretty good.

Is it off a Stag rifle, or from a Stag Parts Kit?

Stag part kit

They break sometimes.

Just get annother and dont worry about it.

I know that they break sometime, but this one was new.... I already order Another one.

That Probably wouldn't have happened if you bought a Nork

Seriously tho, I'm surprised to see that its a hollow part. Makes you wonder what other parts are like that.

I suspect it's an anomaly. It is not supposed to be hollow and the casting seam on it tells me it's likely not MIM - probably lost-wax cst. Sometimes you get air bubbles in castings - it happens.

Buy another and forget about it. Bolt stops sometimes break, but it's not a common occurence.

Mine broke the same way but it was on 9mm upper due to bolt bounce.

Longer buffer solved the issue....

I agree

Stags have a lifetime warranty

 

[GLOCK_PERFECTION]

I emailed Arm east about it. I'll see if Stag offer a real lifetime warranty....

You will likely be happy with the response

I had that part break on an Armalite and a Colt...it is rare but an easy fix...

 

[GLOCK_PERFECTION]

I got a response from Arms East about Stag warranty.

They told me that Stag lifetime warranty is only for complete rifles but they Will gladly replace it if I send back the broken part.

+1 for Arms East. They stand behind what they sell. That's the right way to deal with customers.

Thanks

That's great they're replacing the part, but what exactly does "only for complete rifles" mean? That's a confusing statement.

AR's are but a collection of parts and it's not very likely that everyone of them would fail.

Te Stag lifetime warranty do not apply to separate parts as they could be used with non Stag parts. If you buy lower part kit, it's not under warranty by Stag....if you buy a complete rifle (all Stag), Stag lifetime warranty apply to rifle.

Anyway who ever replace parts, as long as you get your new part..... You'll be happy

So if you haven't purchased a complete rifle, any Stag parts you may buy separately are completely unwarranted?

 

[GLOCK_PERFECTION]

Exact but arms East in my case, will replace it no charge.....
