If the lower was capable of mounting an ar15 upper, even if duct tape was needed to secure it, then it would of been classed as an ar15 variant.
It is but if the lower accepts AR-15 uppers then it's considered an AR or AR variant. Also note the Stag 10 is built around the .308 and larger so matching an AR-15 upper would be to small(width,distance between pins).
Canada Ammo sold/sell a single shot .50 upper that fits an AR-15 lower which makes it restricted. A Canadian company offered a lower which required permanently modifying the upper so it no longer worked with an AR-15 lower. Under those conditions the rifle now became a non-restricted.
There are a number of companies that manufacture a proprietary upper/lower that use a large number of AR parts but don't fit AR uppers/lowers. The Stag 10 is an example of this as to the number of DPMS 308 AR parts it uses but is not considered a 308 AR or variant.
I think my handguard from brownells is at the post office. If so I'll be able to put it together tonight.
Shrug. Mine fits and it fires great. Takedown pins are a little tight, that's all. Trigger is aftermarket though.
