Well, it happened. After finishing my first AR, I've gone and started the process all over again.

This Time I decided to snag a Sig Pistol Brace before they get 86'd and run a 12.5" system since I primarily shoot within 100 yards where I live (Dense woods) and am looking to run a very lightweight yet reliable system.

Here's a Link to my first Build Stag

Upper:

  • Daniel Defense 12.5 CHF Lightweight Barrel

  • BCM low profile GB

  • Carbine Gas Tube

  • Geissele SMR MK3 13"

  • Vltor M1A Upper

  • BCM mod 4 charging handle

  • Stag Enhanced BCG



Lower

  • Battle Arms Ambidextrous Safety

  • Magpul Miad Grip (1.1?)

  • Stag Trigger

  • Phase 5 Pistol Buffer Tube

yeah there seems to be play in at least the 2 lowers I got from them. I have some orings on the way so it should fix it.

i stuck a wedge in the rear as I shouldnt have to use a screw to adjust tension and it takes alot to get it to work so in that aspect I think its a stupid idea

The Santan has some great looking controls but that roll mark is eye gougingly terrible


Super nice gun. Jealous

i had to go back on one of mine and trim my spring down for the front take down today. i got tired of it being to hard to disengage.i dont know if its the EPP pins or the lower that causes the play.

i put the oring on and the play is gone.

hopefully it will stand up to time

I had the same issue with both the EPP and the SanTan; I tried to clean the hole for the spring, but that yielded no positive results. Duffy even sent me a new front takedown pin, but did not fix the issue. So I also trimmed the spring and now it's somewhat manageable yet still difficult to takedown.

I have a set of O rings and an Accuwedge on the way so hopefully that will solve the issue for me. Thank you so much for your input, it's nice to know I was not the only out here with these issues.

I like the subtle FDE in there. Nice build!
Makes me want to finish my 12.5 too!
