Turn this thread into a WIN! Somebody...
ETA: At least we have an artist's conception now. Are these critters actually at SHOT for someone to snap a pic of? |

I just want the scope! Other than that, my GEN2 STG is just fine for my purposes. So when can I buy one those "raised" scopes? |

I'll just take an E4 stock for my Gen I gun so I can use AR-15 mags, and skip the rails. |

I still wish they had a more flush top optic rail though that sits lower. Really needed that more than more side rail space.
Those back rear rails on the stock are going to make it tough to loop a single point around it. The left side rail under the charging handle is going to be a funny place to mount things. I wonder if it's going to mess with the charging handle operation? Like the looks of the new bolt release. Going to be picking up a new barrel soon so I like the ability to slap on whatever flash suppressor I want. Someone at MSAR needs to come up with an additional gas setting adjustment that allows for any after market suppressor to be used with the STG though. |

The rails will be removable, and will attach to threaded hardpoints in the stock. Kind of like a G36C handguard. Also included will be a QD swivel cup that will attach to one of the hardpoints. SO - mount only what you need, where you need it.
BTW - I have no idea why there aren't any pics yet. I helped build 4 protos for the show. |

Lower height top rails are coming! We don't have them at SHOT, but the new top rails will be the same height above the stock as an AR15 rail. I don't know when or how much, but I'm definitely first in line for a 12" bi-level!

I'll be purchasing that top rail X-ile mentioned when it comes out for sure though. Any ideas on the MSRP of the E4 stock? |

Ok...I dig it.
I like that the rails are detachable so it's a sort of mix and match your own preference and I'm all about options. It will give folks the ability to custom the location and mounts of their accessories and that's cool. The thing about those rear rails for me was that it would make it hard to use a single point sling (which I like), but if they can be detached then that's cool. I like the shape of the rails a lot. I like that they're flush, I like that they're rounded. Very cool I like the texture around the magazine well. Defintely cool. I'm going ot DEFINTELY purchase that top rail. No doubt about that whatsoever. I'm giving serious thought about buying the STANAG stock...have to think about it. P.S. someone said "I don't know why they had a PMAG in their stock when they have their own AR mags." I'm like so that people know that it is the STANAG stock NOT the regular stock since the new AR magazines look pretty close to the MSAR AUG mags. |

So will the stock assembly be sold separately as an upgrade to existing rifles? Or is the "NATO" stock a different project?

Ok, now I'm definitely in for one.....
Make mine a black, flat top and make sure that it accepts Pmags. So do I keep my AR's and XCR and just add a MSAR? or do I dump the XCR? I'm pretty sure the compactness of the MSAR STG556 will quickly make it my favorite carbine.. |

I was on the fence about getting a STG 556, but now I'm sold. I hope they get these on the shelves before another ban. Did MSAR mention an ETA on these?

I'm pretty sure the compactness of the MSAR STG556 will quickly make it my favorite carbine.. I wouldnt give up anything. Having the XCR and STG would be the best scenerio. Of course if I had to sell an XCR to come up with the cash for the STG, I would drop the XCR like a hot potato. To me the XCR is great but handles like an AR. The AUG style rifles are totaly diferent. Seems like MSAR has addressed everything people have asked for. Personaly I prefer the Gen IV and will be sticking with it. But I could definately see why a person would chose an E4. Some people still want a quad rail. IMO some rifles (AK's, M14's, FAL's, G3's and yes AUGs) arent supposed to have rails all over the place. Just my opinion. But hey, its nice to have all the options. |

The funny thing about that is MSAR's Tan is the same color as what other people are caling Flat Dark Earth, Urban Dark Earth, Coyote, or whatever the new color of the month is, Anyway, perhaps if MSAR just named it something more catchy, maybe it would be more popular. Who knows, just a thought. |

So...the copmuter generated model of the E4 looks real neat, but anyone else notice it doesn't show any sort of mag release button for the AR mag? [>:/]
Would someone fromo SMAR be kind enough to post a pic of the left side of the E4 stock, pretty please?

I asked about the tan stock at the show and was told that they may be produced if enough interest is determined. Right now I was told that black and OD are the most popular and that the call for tan was not worth the work to change over right now. They are cranking them out like everyone else.
In regards to MSRP, I believe that $1800-1900 was mentioned. |
