Stag Arms is proud to release its 16 inch AR-15 carbine rifles in the popular 300 AAC BLK / 7.62x35mm caliber. The company had researched and tested many different cartridges on the AR-15 platform before making a final decision. Stag Arms president Mark Malkowski stated “In addition to the upper halves we offer in this caliber we are now offering a complete AR-15 rifle using the 300 Blackout cartridges with heavier bullets, great ballistics, and already on the shelves of most major stores. By utilizing the same reliable AR-15 firearm platform customers can still use their standard accessories.”

The barrels are 16″ long and manufactured from 4140 steel with chrome lining on the inside to increase durability.

Bullpup rifles like the IWI Tavor TAR-21 have been gaining popularity in the U.S. and abroad in recent years. Further, this trend gives all appearances of continuing. Designed to be compact for CQB fighting, but maintain the long barrel for maximum muzzle velocity, it looks different from the AR15 platform we are used to seeing. Like any weapon platform, stability when shooting prone, or for that matter, off a rock wall is critical. The battle-tested engineers at FAB Defense solved this problem with the creation of the TAR Podium quick deployment bipod.

The bipod replaces the grip cap and attaches with a single screw, without interfering with gripping the weapon. The sleek design is compact and does not have any protruding parts that could get caught on anything. The bipod is rapidly deployed with the simple push of a button giving the shooter stability at the moment it’s needed. Read more
