My First AR-15

[njpilot 671]

Finally got my AR 2 days ago . Brand new Stag Model 1. Looking forward to going to the range.

[1911Fan 1]

Enjoy that beautiful modular repeating rifle!

From the examples I have seen, I feel confident saying that Stag makes a high quality product for price point.

I'm waiting for the range report now you know!

Nice!! So when are we going to CJ to try her out???

 

PS. Did a mag. come with it? If so what type?

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Nice, got the same one only a lefty version without the carry handle.

Mine came with 1 10 round "C" products magazine.

Soon!! Came with a 10 rounder. I've got 4 of the 15 rounders on order from Cproducts, but they take 3-5 weeks to process, ugh.

Congrats on your first blackie.

 

Beware of "tactical syndrome" which will begin draining your wallet dry very soon!

Very nice, enjoy it.

Very true, but you can't drain something that is already empty

My AR is a Stag as well. I built the stripped lower and ordered the upper. It's a fantastic shooter, and I have never had a malfunction (knock on wood).

I have had problems with mine but only when shooting Wolf steel case ammo. Any other ammo she eats it up.

Just a little FYI for you.

[njpilot 671]

Went to Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club today to shoot the AR for the first time. Had a good time. Thank you Mauser88.

I had a interesting conversation with a salesmen who sells the CNC machines to most of the firearm's manufacturers in New England. He told me that Bushmaster does not build any part of their firearms. everything is sub-contacted out. That surprised me somewhat.

[PK90 3,573]

That is true from what I've been told for years. AND, only one AR manufacturer makes all their parts, Olympic Arms.

[rscalzo 3]

Actually there are a few. These guys sell the CNC machines to them all in the New England area. If there are any left as Sig is buying them in mass.

Sweet bro

I was told that Daniel Defense probably makes a alrge majority of the AR parts on the market today.

Really?? I must of shot over 1000rds of Wolf with no problems what-so-ever. I guess each rifle is a little different?

Wolf is said to be corrosive to AR's and is shunned by many. I haven't tried Wolf in my AR yet and am trying to avoid doing so.

 

I wish AR's would eat Wolf ammo like AK's do. Life would be a lot easier (and cheaper).

[Tactical Monkey 51]

Wolf is shunned by many because "most" brand name ARs (Colts, Bushmaster, DPMS, and I'm sure others) will void the warranty if you use steel cased ammo. I built most of my rifle myself, so I have no warranty

 

The ammo is NOT corrosive. It does have a polymer based coating applied to the steel cases to make them slippery; for lack of a better term. Now if you live in the desert, and shoot a ton of Wolf when the rifle is hot, you will probably have malfunctions due to some of the coating building up. But as long as you clean the bore and chamber after you are done shooting, in most rifles you can shoot all the Wolf you like. It just may void your warranty.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

It wasn't only the build up of the lacker, it was the failed ejection of 2 cases and a few other rounds didn't shot after I pulled the trigger. I had to use a cleaning rod and shove out the shell casings to clear the chamber. Plus those misfires were a little scary in that I wasn't familar with the rifle yet and was worried about the round blowing up in the gun or something. I do shot wolf steel cased ammo in 9mm and 45acp and have had not a single problem. But the 223 stuff should be avoided even though they are way cheaper than brass stuff. You get what you pay for with these bullets.

[Maksim 1,504]

Wasnt that because Wolf just repackaged old russian surpluss in new boxes? at least in the very early years....

 

the stuff shoots great. It was the only ammo avail here for the makarov, but no issues.

Please correct me if I am wrong but I thought the collapsible stock is not legal in NJ?

 

Sorry if I am asking a stupid question.

that is correct, folding or collapsable stocks are not legal in NJ. what most dealers do is they permanently pin the stock so it does not move.

Russian surplus

 

Russia never had surplus 5.56. What they did have, along with factories in Serbia, Croatia and other's in that area sitting idle. The ammo is used extensively and usually functions fine. Not the greatest but the price was right. With today's market being what it is, no one is turning their nose up at Wolf.

 

They happen to make some of the best and most accurate 22lr ammo available. their primers are well regarded.
