Stag Arms
About Stag Arms
Stag Arms was founded in May 2003 by Mark Malkowski in New Britain, Connecticut, with a mission to produce reliable, 100% American-made Modern Sporting Rifles.
The company pioneered the first left-handed Modern Sporting Rifle with a mirror-imaged upper receiver, addressing the needs of 10-20% of shooters who are left-hand dominant.
After being acquired by White Wolf Capital in 2016, Stag Arms relocated to Cheyenne, Wyoming in 2018 and underwent rebranding with new Wyoming-marked receivers.
At one point ranked as the 5th most popular AR-15 manufacturer in America, Stag Arms became one of the largest MSR manufacturers in the United States.
Today, the company continues its commitment to producing high-quality AR-15 and AR-10 platform rifles for recreational shooters, hunters, and professionals alike.
