Operationally, the new gun works exactly like any other standard direct gas impingement AR. The biggest change visually is the uniquely curved ASC-manufactured magazine that accommodates the sharper case body angle of the 7.62x39mm cartridge (as compared to that of the 5.56mm).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57838\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57838\" title=\"The Enemy Within: Stag Arms 7.62x39mm AR Carbine -- NRA 2016\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57838\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4-4.jpg\" alt=\"The new Stag Arms carbine employs an ASC magazine designed specifically to function with the 7.62x39mm cartridge. \" width=\"1200\" height=\"971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4-4-150x121.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4-4-371x300.jpg 371w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4-4-768x621.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4-4-1024x829.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new Stag Arms carbine employs an ASC magazine designed specifically to function with the 7.62x39mm cartridge.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Apart from the chambering and the magazine design, the new carbine is all AR.
