Stag Arms’s newest AR-15 is the piston operated Model 8 carbine.
Model 8 Piston Carbine
Stag have not released much information about the rifle. It looks much the same as their M4-style Model 3 carbine. I am not sure if the piston system is their own design (if you can identify, please do in the comments). It looks like it could be a long-stroke design, but I am not sure. UPDATE: See below.
Piston system can be seen when upper handguard is removed.
