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!!!!!!

I personally don't like it because the handguards aren't free-float and the sling is a 1-point sling. I'd get the Troy Free-Float handguards and a 2-point sling such as the Vikings V-Tac or the Vickers 2-point. But that kit will work with the Stag.

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 !

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

The hardest thing will be the wait.

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.

That GG&G rail is very good.
I'd just clean it, lube it, and cycle it a couple of times. You don't have to go go crazy cycling it because it has a carbine length gas system and you should have no problems.

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.

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!!!!

The markings on the uppers are there for reference points for mounting optics or other things. It is so you remember where you had it.

The Chamber and bore are Chrome lined.

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!!!
