| Stag model 5 with rail. I was curious about the reliability and quality of these. This will be my first ar rifle. Love the Lwrc and Lmt in the 6.8, but there is a good deal to be had on this Stag 6.8. Any advice is appreciated |

i cant find the 68forum. They do make a 6.8.. http://68forums.com/forums/login.php?do=lostpw Register and take a look around. I'd go... I did go with titan armory upper on an EA 6.8 roll marked lower I bought. |

I just got my Stag 6.8 kit from the group buy on here. 2nd one too.
1st one - 1/10 twist (not optimal, but ok for most loads), poor gas key stake. Still good rifle. 2nd one - 1/11 twist (best choice), spec II chamber and a good gas key stake. They must have listened to complaints/suggestions from people and reacted accordingly. Stag is g2g in my book |

Stag is g2g in my book That is good to know, I did not realize they change the twist rate and chamber, most I see advertised are still the older ones. |

Stag is g2g in my book That is good to know, I did not realize they change the twist rate and chamber, most I see advertised are still the older ones. Thats because most retailers are just trying to unload an outdated product. The older 1/10 twist may have even been the spec II chamber, but a lot of people claimed it could not handle certain loads. Research shows that to be true. Go to the group buy section and order from Legal-Transfers. Comes with everything except the stripped lower. You will wait a while, but you will be happy when you get it. ETA - Just checked the EE, group buy is still going. $609 for everything minus the stripped lower. It advertises the Stag 5.56, but he does it for the 6.8 too. |
I just received a Stag 6.8 upper last week (2 month wait) and slapped it on a Spikes lower. It is 1:11 twist and the staking looks acceptable. I took it to the range this weekend to break it in and it fired flawlessly and with good accuracy. It ate all Hornady and Silver State ammo without hesitation. I am very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend.
