Stag Arms STAG15001111 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Carbine

The Stag Arms STAG15001111 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Carbine is a purpose-built direct impingement rifle designed for law enforcement, military, and civilian tactical applications requiring reliable, accurate suppressive fire. This platform excels in close-to-medium range engagements where the 16-inch barrel strikes the optimal balance between velocity retention and maneuverability in confined spaces—a configuration proven across decades of real-world deployments. The rifle ships with a 31-round magazine capacity, providing substantial ammunition availability for extended engagements or training scenarios without frequent magazine changes.

Built on the 5.56 NATO chambering, the Stag Arms carbine delivers consistent ballistic performance across standard and mil-spec ammunition loads, with an effective range extending to 300+ meters depending on target size and shooter skill. The 16-inch barrel length produces muzzle velocities sufficient for barrier penetration and target effectiveness while maintaining a compact overall profile at 38 inches—critical for vehicle operations, building entries, and rapid target transitions. At 8.75 pounds unloaded, this rifle remains lightweight enough for sustained carry operations while maintaining the structural rigidity necessary for optics mounting and accessory integration. The direct impingement system offers proven reliability in adverse conditions, with minimal maintenance compared to alternative operating systems.

Operators in law enforcement tactical teams, military reserve units, and civilian self-defense applications will find this carbine suitable for duty carry, squad-level support, or home defense preparedness. The 5.56 NATO standard ensures ammunition interoperability with issue mil-spec supplies and readily available commercial loads. Picatinny rail systems accommodate modern optics, lights, and targeting devices, allowing customization to specific mission requirements. Compatibility with standard AR-platform magazines and accessories simplifies logistics and enables rapid parts sourcing in the field or training environment.
