I support your endeavor, more than you know, brother. Go SMASH. You know full-well, motherfucker... YOU could break a damn anvil, all by yourself, in the middle of a sand pit... No other tools required...

If you look at the history of STAG Arms - it was always "controlled" by CMT. Continental Machine Tool. CMT is a first rate company, supplying OEM parts for a wide array of companies in this industry, for a very long time. The owner of STAG was the son of the owner of CMT. Makes sense, in the Big Picture, how that relationship happened, as was what it was. Both companies have been fantastic, historically, in the firearms industry.

Why, YES! Yes, it is. This was kept kinda quiet. The whole conglomeration was kept kinda quite... You guys remember Cerberus? Bought Remington, DPMS, Marlin, Bushmaster, others... And look at where those companies are RIGHT NOW... Swirling around the bottom of the toilet, the "flush" already happened, and they just haven't gone down the drain yet - and you can't stop it. Scoop that water as hard as you want - it's going. Thank you, Cerberus Capital Management. White Wolf Capital bought STAG. White Wolf Capital "has a controlling interest" a BUNCH of great companies right now - Aero Precision, VG6, Ballistic Advantage to name a few of those great companies. The former head of Aero Precision, Chad Larsen, is now the head of STAG Arms. There's more coming from me, on the disaster of the sell-off of Remington. I'll post that in a separate thread here in this section. For those that doubt - this was kept quiet for some time, but it really happened - read all about it: https://www.stagarms.com/relocation-announcement/ Stag Arms Relocation Announcement November 18th, 2019 Stag Arms LLC (“Stag” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of a new President as well as its new location. Stag’s Board of Directors today announced that Chad Larsen has been appointed Stag’s President effective immediately. The Company also announced that it will be relocating to Cheyenne, WY, by the end of the year. In June, the Company disclosed its decision to move from Stag’s former headquarters in New Britain, CT, and accordingly initiated a national search for a new location. In making today’s announcement, Elie Azar, Founder and CEO of White Wolf Capital, LLC, which owns a controlling interest in Stag Arms, said: “We decided it was time to do a complete refresh of the Company. We needed to solve for three things: visionary customer-centric leadership, a business-friendly, pro-growth economic environment, and a cultural climate that reflects Stag’s brand image of independence and free spiritedness. I am pleased to report that we have found a solution that hits all these points.” To find a new location for the Company, Stag’s Board of Directors conducted a rigorous process comparing dozens of potential sites against a stringent set of criteria. “Cheyenne came out on top on most of the individual criteria,” said Azar, “and considering our requirements as a whole, it was by far the superior site. Not only is Wyoming an incredibly hospitable place to do business, it is also a top destination for outdoor recreation, including hunting and shooting sports, which reflects its citizens’ unwavering support for the Second Amendment.” Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon, upon learning of Stag’s decision to relocate to his state, issued the following statement: “I am pleased to welcome Stag Arms to Wyoming and to know that our state came out on top of a broad look at potential new homes for the sought-after company. We have a deep-seated commitment to the Second Amendment that I will continue to uphold. Ultimately, Stag Arms had to make a business decision and I believe this announcement is an affirmation that Wyoming is continuing to cultivate a culture that allows private enterprise to flourish. My administration will work collaboratively with the Wyoming Business Council and Cheyenne LEADS to ensure Stag's move goes smoothly. I thank Stag’s Board of Directors and Chad Larsen for selecting Wyoming.” Stag began working with Cheyenne LEADS, the economic development organization for Cheyenne and Laramie County, in June of this year after they reached out offering their assistance. LEADS assisted with site location, workforce evaluation and navigating the community. Stag’s decision to relocate to Wyoming follows similar recent moves by other firearms companies, most notably Weatherby and Magpul. In addition to being firearm-friendly and outdoor-oriented, Wyoming has been very proactive in its efforts to attract high-skilled/high-paying manufacturing jobs to the state. Communities like Cheyenne have invested significantly in recent years in skilled-training capabilities. Chad Larsen comes to Stag from Aero Precision, LLC, a leading manufacturer of AR-15 components located in Tacoma, WA, where he spent the last six years leading new product development. Azar noted, “Chad’s innovative genius with the Modern Sporting Rifle platform stems from his personal emersion in the shooting and hunting community. He knows what customers want—and what they don’t—because he is one of them.” Mr. Larsen is both an avid hunter and a registered 3-Gun, Multi-gun and USPSA competitor. Mr. Larsen added, “I am both honored and humbled to have been selected to lead the charge to revitalize this iconic brand. The Stag team and I are totally committed to continuing Stag’s legacy of innovation—for example, we were the first AR platform to manufacture left-handed rifles—as well as continue our pledge of being 100% made in the United States.” Mr. Larsen succeeds Anthony Ash who was president of Stag since 2016. Stag has begun the process of relocating all of its operations to Cheyenne and plans to be fully settled in its new accommodations in the upcoming months.

Aero owns Stag now. Doesn't mean that the Stag set that you're looking at is under the control of Aero, as this just happened recently, and we don't know the age of what you're eye-balling. EDIT - That reminds me - I forgot to post that acquisition up in the Firearms News section. Matrix is solid, but you need their pivot and takedown pins, like sketch stated. They're good, though. You looking at the older sets, or the newer stuff - or do you know, on those? Or, just buy Aero Precision M5 sets, and never worry. That's the most reliable builder-sets out there now, by far. When it's cheap, and it doesn't work - and you have to put in a TON of time, research, and work into getting it right - IF you can get it right... ...then how cheap was it in the first place?... I'm not telling you to buy an Ed Brown 1911 or Nighthawk Customs 1911 here. Just spend your money wisely.

If that's a PSA 18" midlength-gas barrel, then taht gas port diameter right there is 0.070". That ring around it will measure 0.125", because that the max gas diameter of the ID of a gas tube - and that's what they drill the diameter to in a gas block - just like DNP stated. For an 18" midlength-gas .308 Win barrel, with a 0.750 gas block journal size (gas block diameter), your gas port diameter in the barrel needs to be something between 0.080"~0.085".

Would be very ironic if his username was bfoosh.

YOU NEED A HEEEEAAAAAVY BUFFER FOR THIS THING, BROTHER! HEAVY!

In which that - there would be NOTHING Normal about that...

OMG - my ears are burning, having flashbacks, and I might have a seizure. Why is everyone yelling at me?!

Where the hell did you find those?...

Don't need it from a vendor that says they've got it in stock, when the gun-world is sideways right now. I'm looking for parts from the manufacturer of those parts, and they're out of stock at the manufacturer(s) fright now. Thanks for the PM link to the JoeBob store, though. Your Grendel needs a VLTOR A5 buffer system, with either the A5-H1 buffer (4.56oz) or the A5-H2 buffer (5.33oz). If it's a 16" Grendel,the A5H1 will do you well. If it's an 18" Grendel, you'll want the A5H2. I have 5 of these things, +1 Valkyrie, +1 6 ARC, all running VLTOR A5 recoil systems. I don't recommend that lightly. When you need those out of stock A5 recoil system parts, and finding substitutions, post up. VLTOR doesn't have them, and neither does anybody else (unless they just luckily got a shipment).

That gun came "timed from the factory" to run on junk ammo for most people, and work most of the time. Far from perfect, and FAR from reliable. It was built CHEAP, with the least money spent, and that's why it has a 3.8oz buffer - because heavier 2.500" buffers cost alot more to get them close to the 5.4oz standard. That involves tungsten and stainless, instead of steel and aluminum. PSA isn't spending that kind of money, not on a buffer. Even if they did - their "builders" would get it wrong most of the time. Your research just told you what you need to do to make it a reliable gun, with any ammo that you throw at it. The 18" midlength barrel - provided it has a 0.750" gas block journal - needs 0.080"~0.085" gas port diameter, to run RIGHT. Don't know where you got that 0.093" from. Do the rest of the mods that you're already thinking about, and posted. You didn't "fall into this information" by accident. There's a reason we've been posting this info for years here, now.

You shock me once again, brother. You're rapidly approaching what I'd jealously call "the total package." I need to find you women to interview...

This one... he passed today, at 80 years old. Johnny Nash. This is WAY before @shepp's time...

That was never something that I asked you to do, in the least, and a test like that makes zero sense to perform - or even ask someone to do. Measure the front pin then. It's pretty short, and if it's bent, it should be pretty obvious. If you'd really read that thread that Albro posted, you'd know the details that are required here. Yet, you still don't know what information we need - but you stated you read it. Well,then, get me the information that I asked you for on the recoil system already. Go fetch. You need to look at something here - we're on the other side of a monitor, with you typing. We're trying to HELP YOU figure out what's going on with your malfunctioning gun. We ask for a very, VERY specific set of details in order to HELP YOU. You have not provided those details. You might THINK you have, but you have not. Go fetch me every detail that Albro posted in his thread, and post those very specific details right here in this thread, and I'll solve your problem. Until you do that very thing, then nobody here can help you anymore. POST: Just the fact that you just put up a pic of the OVERALL length of your damn receiver extension proves that you never, not once, read through Albro's post on Waterboarding. Go READ that thread from him that I linked, ALL the way through. No one here can do a damn thing with the OVERALL LENGTH of your receiver extension, and that number isn't even important. Read the fucking thread that was linked to you, and get the information back here that the linked thread asks. Until then, you're just wasting our time, and your time. In THIS thread, right here, you ARE Jeff Spicolli...

You missed this post I asked you about?...

Well, fuk it then - how about just answering what I asked of you earlier in this thread, then? Give me the dimensions of the parts that I specifically asked you for. How about that?

Then FOLLOW what Albro posted in that, very carefully, and give the full descriptions, measurements, and details of your parts. Once you have all that info - post it up.

I never, ever stated that, not once.

This is rapidly coming down into the "information required" in Albro's Waterboarding thread. OP, you need to get the kind of details up here that are listed in that thread above ^^^ for us to go any further. I hope you get that.

Yep, right there - not even possible. OP, post a pic of your complete BCG, with a tape measure showing how long it is. Post a pic of your buffer length, full description of the recoil system and all it's parts, with measurements... I'll think of more, but that should do for now. Something is seriously wrong with your gun, if you pull your changing handle all the way back, and it just falls out like that - it went back far enough to get through the channel cutout to TAKE the charging handle out - and that shouldn't even be possible on an assembled upper.

"Just because you ARE a Character, does not mean that you HAVE Character..."

Please provide pictures of what you're talking about here - and it "comes off track." Thanks in advance.

Just trying to take this from A to B, and then C... and we're talking about rounds that won't chamber/eject all of the sudden, after all this aftermath of barrel nut damage. ... Just trying to figure out how we got here, because we haven't had a full story on it yet. Until this vvv, right here. And this still doesn't make sense to me. I don't know how we got from the first question in this post - as a problem - to this description that we have here. It worked, if fired, and then it was messed with - and we're missing something in between, that hasn't been stated. Was the GAS TUBE removed - COMPLETELY - before you tried to remove the barrel nut? I'm missing something here that hasn't been stated, but I can only guess so many times, before it gets tiring. I don't get how the charging handle is getting "stuck" here ("Charging handle locks"), from the first post - and there's been a LOT of fucking with this gun in between the first post, and the damage and descriptions we're seeing now. I'm just dumbfounded, and trying to figure out what's going on, or what I missed in this one. I just don't get what's going on. I don't think we're getting the full story, from A to B. A is the very start, and B is where we are right now. All the steps in between. There's still something missing, that hasn't been stated, because it's not making sense to me in the least. Some pretty serious shiit went down, for this to happen - and it was information that was requested of the OP, to even get this pic...

This bums me out, but I get it. 2020 just SUCKS ASS. In light of all this, I'm just gonna bust Ron's chops even more... After all - it doesn't have anything to do with you, brother - it all comes back to him... This is some Lion King "Full Circle" shiit, right here...
