Alright,I am getting paranoid here about the M4 feedramps/lack thereof for the Stag 6.8 weapons.And also the 25 round C-product mags that Stags uses...With my n.i.b.Stag after getting it tricked up,as is happening currently,am I reading everyone correctly that there will/could be,additional expense to have a ramp job done before this piece will/could operate properly?Without the fear of a F.T.F?
Is this what I am seeing here??? Of Course my F.F.L. has an excellent staff of Smiths,I am quite certain they can handle this.It is that additional cost factor,cutting into to my ammo buys......Words from the wise,please?

Having M4 ramps is highly highly suggestable for reliable functioning. I dont know what your local Smiths will charge, but Adco firearms chrges 15 bucks to grind them in. As for your C-products mag, you should be good to go.

Getting the feedramps done shouldn't cost your more than 20 if you do it local. You could ship it out and have ADCO do it, but shipping and labor total around 60. The dealer I bought my stag from did my feedramps for free when I told him it was causing problems with chambering the round. There is also a good do DYI section in the forumson how to do the feedramps with a file or dremel tool. I had the Stag model 7 and it absolutely needed the feedramps.

AlaskaFloatPilot posted solid info about before and after adding the M4 ramps. His bullets were impacting the upper receiver below the standard AR feed area. This caused feeding and accuracy problems. He added the ramps himself and the problem disappeared.

It's a cheap addition to an otherwise solid firearm. We've been after Stag to make M4 feedramps standard, especially since their parent company CMT makes actual M4 upper receivers with the ramps. So why not?

Many here have C-prods mags and for the most part they function fine.

If your slightly mech. inclined, adding the ramps is a fairly simple and straight forward process. Follow the extensions feedramp angles and go slow. Pretty hard to mess up if you do just a tiny bit of self-edumacation.

If you cut them youself try and get a small green grinding cone for the Dremel. When they are extended I roll up a little piece of 220 grit sand paper to fit in the ramps, sand the rough finish down to smooth then polish with a Dremel polishing wheel to a mirror finish. About 10 mins. of work.
