Hello,

I have already introduced myself in another thread but I didnt want to clog that thread up with my questions. If any of these have already been discussed in depth let me know, or atttach a link, or something. Thanks!!

1) Im pretty sure ive decided on the Stag 5H 6.8mm upper receiver, on their website it has a couple of drop down menus and one of the options asks if I want the standard front sight or "gas block". What does that mean?

2) Does anyone have any suggestions for a lower receiver? I was planning on just getting the stripped lower from STAG as well.

3) Will stag parts do for the lower or is there a superior lower parts kit to theirs that will work?

4) Is there any other 6.8mm upper receiver (complete) that stag offers with different options (barrel length/twist, "handguard", sights, etc)??

Thanks for the help, and this is an awesome forum. The 6.8 really does deserve its own.

HAHA!! Listen to me talk like I already own one :lol:

Thanks for the help! About a week ago I noticed my dealer had a 6.8mm and I believe it was from STAG, complete with a case and "accessories" for $800 ( I think). I may have to go back there this weekend and take a look.

 

[jbone]

thanks! I guess I will have to contact STAG and see what they can do. In the meantime I will take a look around ar15.com to see if I can find some in that price range. Also thanks for the link to that review!

I just have one more quick question. Is there any vendors on this forum or anywhere online that I would be able to order the 5H upper from and have the FSC30 permanently mounted prior to having it sent to me? It would save me from having to send it back out again. I dont think there are many if any gunsmiths around me. Thanks!!!!

 

[jbone]

thanks!!

ok I have another question! : What is a Buffer, buffer assembly, tube, etc.? I did a search and even went on goodle and couldnt find my answer on exactly what it does, how it works, where it is etc. And while on the topic, I am looking at getting one of those ace skeleton stocks, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what buffer setup to go with (unless it already comes with one or something). And, as always, thanks for the help

 

[jbone]

ok, so the buffer assembly reduces the recoil of the rifle?

And yet another question!!!! Are there any lower parts kits that arent compatible with s&w m&p15 lower receiver? Thanks for being so patient with me I really appreciate it!!!

 

[jbone]

What are the differences(if any) between the AR-15, M4, and M16? I was told by an leo thats a friend of mine to make sure I get an M4 upper, but I was under the impression that the M4 is "select fire" and legal in the hands of a civilian. :?: Thanks again!!! LOL

 

[jbone]

thanks. I think i'll stop picking your brain for a little bit! :lol:

 

[jbone]

ok next question!!!

I came across this package offered by troy. http://www.troyind.com/m4kit.html

Is it worth it and will it even work on the stag 5H upper? Thanks!!!!!!

 

[jbone]

ill take your word for it, and get the free float. I didnt even realize that it was a single point sling which is what I'd like to stay away from it. It seemed like a good deal though. Thanks !

 

[jbone]

ok so I ordered the Stag 5h upper, and im gonna have to wait till I can build up some more funds to get the handguard/sling. In the meantime I have to decide on a BUIS and place an order for the butt-stock and MIAD grip

 

[jbone]

My upper finally came! WOO HOO!!!!! And with my new receiver comes new questions :

1. In regards to "dry-cycling" the rifle; is the lubricant that came from the factory sufficient to dry-cycle 500-1k times, or should I disassemble clean/lube, and then dry-cycle??

Has anyone had any experience with these from GG&G?: http://www.gggaz.com/index.php?id=49&parents=38,44 I figure this would help save me some money, while allowing me to mount something simple like a light or grenade launcher :lol: I have also seen something similar that has three seperate short rails that mount near the front end of the handguard, but ill have to search for that.

 

[jbone]

ok thanks! I wish I could remember the name of the company that made the other rail(s). It had two short rails (maybe about 2 inches in length). And it allowed you to buy seperately (or as a package) another rail that mounted between those two. The first two rails mounted on the lower portion of the forend (at the front) at approx. 45 degree angle's.

 

[jbone]

AHA!!! I found it: http://www.lapolicegear.com/caatrramofor.html

 

[jbone]

what are the t2,t4,t6,etc. markings on top of the upper receiver for? Someone had asked me if the chamber of the stag 6.8 is chrome lined or not. I wasnt sure but I do know the barrel is so I thought I would ask here. Thanks!!!!

 

[jbone]

Excellent!!

How can I be sure that my rifle is in the new SPCII configuration? Are there any marking on it? When I ordered the site did say that it was SPCII but I would like to know if there is a definite way to tell. And thank you again for answering my questions and being very patient with me!!!
