Stag 10 build and range review
- Thread starter griffin86
- Start date
Hopefully my barrel comes soon. I bought it almost 2 months ago. We were playing around with ammo last night, 45 ACP vs 45 Raptor. The Lee collet crimp is amazing, especially for the price.
Just finished this build. Functions great and will do some accuracy testing in the near future.

Geissele SSA-E
Maple Ridge armoury 20" straight fluted Nitrided barrel

Where did you get the handguard?
It's too bad they didn't make a 13.5" version like with their AR15 HG options. I am not sure why they didn't as many people like to keep weight as low as possible on the front end of an already heavy longer barrelled AR10. I think that decision will hurt their sales(in fact I know it will as I may have tried one but, due to the lack of a shorter/lighter option went another way).
Thanks for doing this thread by the way Griffin it is very helpful to us AR10 platform rookies.

The new LR308 handguard from Maple Ridge Armoury has come out, the X1. It's priced right, it will probably be my new go to as long as they can keep them in stock. $340 for the 15" anodized version.
Need to make one in 16.5 - 17 or 18”
It wouldn’t hurt to send them an email asking for 13.5”. They are looking for feedback on these handguards. info@mapleridgearmoury.com
I’m happy it’s helped!
I mentioned it to Ryan while I was ordering my barrel from him. Hopefully they will add a 13.5 or 14" to the lineup eventually.
Lots of people have messaged me asking what mag vise block I use. I got one from Colonel Mustard, they are out and won't reply to my email. I ordered these from AliExpress and they arrived in 3 weeks. They are the exact same as what I have. They were about $20 each. Link to them here. Keep in mind, these are loose fitting and the gun doesn't lock in. They still work pretty good.
I have the last parts for my build arriving on Thursday. I have a Faxon 20" heavy fluted match barrel in .308 and a Superlative Arms 0.750 adjustable gas block. The instructions for the gas block say to set it back 0.025" and I'm reading here some of you have set yours back by 0.050"... Can someone tell me off the top of their head which distance I should set it back for this barrel? 0.025 or 0.050? I'm going to be dimpling the barrel for the set screws so I'd like to get this right on my first attempt.
Worst case scenario I guess I can get out the calipers when the gas block shows up and measure the barrel from the shoulder to the center of the hole and measure the gas block from the edge to the center of the hole...
The best way is to use your callipers to measure from the shoulder of the gas block journal to the gas port. Then measure the gas block edge to gas port. Then use feeler gauges to set the correct gap.
Roger. Will do. You're right, no sense guessing.
Well I finally got my new toolcraft BCG to replace my defective Ranier Arms unit. The new bolt from true north arms had perfectly matched headspace with my Maple ridge barrel.
Finally I got to make this project go bang, this thing is going to be very fun and has almost no recoil. I'll have my glass mounted this week and can see how the accuracy is.
