or a long time my STAG ac-
tually remained unchanged,
just like out of the box, and
the only addition was the early
USGI carrying strap, the same as
the M4 carbine came with. Then
two things happened - I managed
to buy by chance, at a very good pri-
ce, a 1981-dated Colt 4x20 scope
(in original box) dedicated for M16
rifle carrying grip and a friend lent
me the original Knight's Armament
Company MIL-STD-1913 rail for the
M4 carbine.
Colt's scope deserves a separate
story. I bought it with the idea of
putting it on top of my M16A1 as
it was originally designed for but
when I put it on the STAG out of
curiosity, I decided that this setup
looks really nice. What's more, it
increases the fun of shooting, as
it allows you to shoot tight groups
at 100 m, and this despite shooting
55 gr ammunition from a 1:7 thre-
aded barrel. Therefore, I decided to
leave it on my M4, especially since
I rarely use the M16A1 due to its
almost mint condition and the fact
that it's a purely collector's gun for
occasional shooting.
Then, the original KAC quad rail
landed on my M4, along with the
à la "early OEF "

MORE THAN A YEAR AGO I BOUGHT A STAG 15 M4 RIFLE, WHICH I REVIEWED IN OUR
MAGAZINE A WHILE AGO. THERE I MENTIONED THAT IT WAS TO REMAIN UNMODIFIED AS
CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL M4 AS THE CIVILIAN GUN CAN BE. WELL, I ALMOST MANAGED
TO KEEP MY PROMISE.
