About Stag Arms
Stag Arms is an American maker of AR-pattern rifles, founded in May 2003 in New Britain, Connecticut, and now headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The company built its reputation on left-handed AR-15s, with mirrored ejection ports and controls for southpaw shooters, and it remains one of the best-known brands for left-handed AR rifles. Its lineup today includes AR-15s, AR-10-pattern rifles and pistol-caliber PXC rifles and pistols.
The company has gone through major changes. In December 2015 its CEO, Mark Malkowski, pleaded guilty to manufacturing hundreds of firearms without serial numbers, and the ATF required him to divest his interest in the company. In February 2016 private equity firm White Wolf Capital announced it had acquired Stag Arms. The first Stag-10 AR-10-type rifle was announced at SHOT Show in January 2017. In 2019 Stag announced a move out of Connecticut, completing its relocation to Cheyenne on December 17, 2019, and it closed its Connecticut facility in 2020. In February 2021 the company unveiled a new logo and branding, with receivers marked Cheyenne, Wyoming, under president Chad Larsen.
