U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Today, Stag Arms announced that its Board of Directors has decided to relocate the company from its current facility in New Britain, CT, as part of its strategic initiative to significantly improve the overall customer experience. The location of Stag’s new headquarters has not been finalized but the Board has narrowed down the options to a short list of vibrant communities where there is significant support for the firearms industry.
Stag Arms President, Anthony Ash, stated: “Not since the founding of our Company in 2003 have there been so many great things happening at once. We began our journey with a commitment to bring customers innovative products with uncompromising quality through 100% American Made components. We pioneered the left-handed Modern Sporting Rifle and from Day 1 we have backed all of our rifles with Infinite Shot Barrel and Lifetime Transferable Warranties. Our recent release of our newest product line of PXCs, Stag’s innovative multiple pistol caliber AR, continues the tradition.”
Mr. Ash further stated, “Stag is creating a seamless, integrated value chain that will incorporate best practices from design and engineering, to manufacturing, omni-channel customer engagement, fulfillment, and service. The pieces are in place and we are ready to transition production and fulfillment operations immediately from a narrow facility-based approach in New Britain to a distributed eco-system.”
The Board expects to finalize the location of the headquarters in the next few months and the company then will begin the process of relocating sales and remaining back office functions to the new headquarters location.
About Stag Arms:
Stag Arms was founded in May 2003 with the goal of producing reliable, 100 percent American made Modern Sporting Rifles (MSR). The Company quickly became a market leader and one of the largest MSR manufactures in the United States. Since its early days, Stag has remained at the forefront of innovation, first by offering both left and right-handed MSR platforms, and by designing new models and features based on customer recommendations. All of Stag’s rifles come with an industry leading lifetime transferable warranty and an infinite shot guarantee on the barrel.
Connecticut has lost the following manufactures:
Stag Arms
Remington
Winchester
PTR Industries
Marlin
High Standard
Mossberg
Ruger
C Products
All in the name of gun control, even though Hartford has more murders than Boston, and Boston is 5 times bigger. Multi Billion dollar budget deficits every year. Record tax hikes. Record lowest GDP in the nation. Record number of residents leaving by percentage. The liberals even chased me out of my own church! I was the only straight guy there! Time to move out of the Former Constitution State forever!
I got out back in 2013 after 5 years of no work in my profession. I did once write to Rosa DeLauro asking that the “Constitution State” be removed from all license plates, as it is false advertising… I received no reply. Still have great friends and family there, but unless they venture out of CT, we don’t meet up anymore. I refuse to spend even 1 cent more in that democrat run hell hole. Let my CHL lapse, etc. I recall when Jodi Rell left office, there was a $50 million dollar budget surplus in the states coffers (or… Read more »
I would like to invite them to Cheyenne, Wyoming. It’s the center of a major rail (UPRR & BNSF) and trucking hub. Two major interstates intersect within the city, I-80 & I-25. We’re very firearms friendly here in Wyoming (Weatherby just transferred their company headquarters to Sheridan, Wyoming) and the tax situation for business growth is beyond comparison, and there is no state income tax! Please contact the Governor’s office and you might like what you hear from him!
I vote for Idaho. Clean air, good hunting and no commies. Democraps not allowed.
Everyone….this was a news article to let you know Stag was moving. The ones making the decision where to go did not write it or looking at the comments. Why do all of them say
“come here”…”no come here because…”
Come to South Boston Virginia we need some manufacturing jobs here And there is an empty building in town ,as well as one on the outskirts .
Come to Texas! Mossberg already has a big plant here and we give you a big friendly Texas welcome!
Huntsville, Al ! Remington and DPMS are already here and Kimber on their way to Troy. Steyr Arms opened a showroom and distribution center in Bessemer. State data shows that 1 in 8 adults in Alabama have a CC Permit! Y’all c’mon down here. If we can build rockets!, we can build guns with no problems. Kay Ivey would be glad to have y’all here too!
Move to Louisiana! Firearms and outdoor related companies, please consider moving to Louisiana. We have a great tradition of hunting and outdoor enthusiasts. We have great shooting stars like the Miculek family, Max Michel, Blake Miguez, and many more. We produce nationally syndicated shooting sports TV programs, have wonderful ranges and managed hunting lands. The people are friendly, work hard and play hard too. Our team sports are always on the national rankings lists and we support them enthusiastically. You will never find better food and can enjoy a great restaurant every day without a duplication. We love America, love… Read more »
I was born and raised in Louisiana, the hunting, fishing and food can not be surpassed.
What in the world does “team sports”, a.k.a. – football, have to do with Stag Arms or any other firearms manufacturers?
New Stanton Pa. area, there are a few LARGE in great shape vacant buildings. Very PRO 2nd area !
I second that! Fact is there is an old cardboard tube factory in Kountze Texas that would serve you perfect!
Come to Brevard County, Florida! Already home to a number of gun manufacturers, super-gun-friendly county with the greatest Sheriff in the US of A, Wayne Ivey. Sign me up for the first left-handed Stag built here.
oh please come to indiana. We are super gun friendly with people wanting to work.
“uncompromising quality through 100% American Made components”
Wasn’t Stag the ones caught selling knock-off chinesium Radian charging handles?

Bring it to NC….very pro 2A
NC is very pro 2nd Amendment you need to located in NC Randolph County
Thanks for the information. I have friends in South Mills North Carolina. I’m planning on visiting them in August. I want to search around for my future home.
Oklahoma
They are leaving Connecticut… Lets see why. Not gun friendly, actually down right hostile. Many guns can’t be owned in CT and only 10 round mags on the ones allowed. They are making laws on top of laws against the law abiding and not one of them would have stop any of the shooting. NOT ONE! Taxes are going up on everything because they don’t know how to control spending. They are adding 87 road toll gantries so they toll you every 5 miles or so and they want to make it volume based so the more traffic the higher… Read more »
I thought they had already left Connecticut. after getting pushed around by state government following Sandy Hook.
Even I was smart enough to flee after a lifetime (well the last thirty years got bad )living there. Head south!
Holy schmokes, Stag! Just saw this and all the invites. Utah, dudes! We even have our own, official STATE gun here. Really. Home of Browning so the 1911 is recognized at the Official Utah State Gun. There’s a gun behind every sagebrush and they even find them leaning against trees out in the forest. We’d LOVE Stag. Try Eagle Mountain or Saratoga Springs. Stay out of Salt Lake City, however. You’ll get run over by electric scooters.
Come down to Greenville, SC and bring the manufacturing with you. Business friendly, technically skilled workers (Michelin headquarters here and manufacturing all over the state, BMW manufactures most of their SUVs here), great restaurants (Google it), rarely snows, low taxes and voted one of the best small cities in the USA.
Too bad there are so many thieves and asshole cops there. I hated working there. beautiful state and lovely people other than the aforementioned!
Come on down to the Tennessee! Welcome you with open arms!! No state income taxes and great place to live!!
Drain that Sewer …
Come on down to NC boys !
I doubt they are interested in relocating again after a couple of years. North Carolina is well on its way of becoming the first full blown leftist socialist state in the south. Many would say its already lost.
The problem in NC is the Triangle and Charlotte. Same as anywhere, big cities draw the free loading Democraps.
Years ago, I was approached by UNC Hospital system to come to work for them. Hard sell ensued. It was REAL tempting. Then I started doing research on the state: cost of living, housing, schools for our children, and taxes. The latter is the factor that kept me from taking the job. Taxation is AWFUL there! How can they tax your PERSONAL PROPERTY?!
Georgia is where you want to be, great climate, technologically forward employee pool.
Amarillo Tx would be good. Almost center of the country on major highway. Good people,less democrats
Amarillo would be perfect!
Wyoming! Move to Wyoming, Weatherby Co. relocated to Sheridan!
Wide open space, even liberals own guns, hard working people, cheap rent, low labor costs. And most importantly, I’m left handed! Come to South Dakota.
Arkansas will work
Well, I think we can rule out California!
Please don’t. I’m in CA and cannot wait to jump out. So, yes, save yourselves the troubles. There will be more coming from this $h!thole in the future.
The thing is CA is a very big state once the residents destroy it
they move on to destroy there neighbors!!!
STAY WHERE YOU ARE fix your shit!!!!
Don’t come to my state and expect ME to wipe your ass….
Stupid don’t stop at the border..
Amen!
Hey, there jaa dee, the people destroying the state of California are DEMOCRATS! I bet Jack is no Democrat. Yeah, I live in Commifornia, I vote Republican and we lose our asses. California is a Democrat run cesspool. Jack can’t change it, I can’t change it, I say let the democrats run that state into the ground. I’m voting with my feet and moving out this year. I’m a conservative, gun owning Christian. Residents destroy the state? Not this one. Fix it? Tell me how and I’ll stick around and help clean it up. Until then, we still have the… Read more »
Believe me, you’re a rare bird, indeed, if you’re a native Californian, and you are honestly describing yourself. And, even though you may not bring the California liberal bent and attitude, any children you have who have been exposed to the education system there. THEY are corrupted by those teachers and their peers. I’ve seen it far too many times. I’m a native Californian, but I escaped in the early 70s because of the hippies, and their corruption of the state. Those same people are the ones who are, or were, running the state and caused the ruination of a… Read more »
Ya THINK! I think you win the Captain Obvious Award with that one. But I have to admit I chuckled when I read it. 😉
Don’t come to Pittsburgh we are under communist occupation
Grand Island, Nebraska is a town open to new companies, and very gun friendly. It is also the home of Hornady Ammunition. Would make a pretty sweet pair.
T for Tennessee
Ah, Texas!
Well, MOST of Texas. The major cities are, unfortunately, infected with the Democratic Socialist disease. Temple, Tyler, Cameron, Rockdale and many more smaller towns would be fine choices for your business.
Unfortunately, Texas is purple turning blue because of the metastatic cancer from California.
Indeed, Texas welcomes everyone and all businesses, especially from California. All that we ask is that you leave your leftist politics on the CA side of the NV border before coming here. Warning: If you decide to settle outside of the bigger cities with the regular TX folk, your politics will be put on public display on a daily basis so be careful of what you say because TX is gun country and at times very seriously so.
West Virginia will welcome you.
Come to Michigan , lots of water , gun friendly and plenty of empty buildings!
Missouri is a gun friendly state with plenty of space and tax credits
You should take a serious look at OHIO. We are a strong PRO-GUN state with good hard working people. We would love to have you here in Geauga county,low taxes,plenty of land in open country but yet close enough to freeways for shipping & receiving. We are SECOND AMENDMENT STRONG!
Right and as soon as they get the place up and running here comes the union to poison the stream – that followed by deaf senators and congressmen…. Yeah great place – to stay the hell away from! And we haven’t even touched on the abysmal weather or disinterest of the state to care for the roads……
Big cities corrupt and destroy everything.
Illinois would be fine without Chicago.
Michigan would be great without Detroit.
New York would be heaven without NYC.
Massachusetts would be great without Boston.
California would be fantastic without Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Pennsylvania would be wonderful without Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Texas would be Heaven on Earth without San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas.
Fewer than a dozen corrupt big cities are destroying America.
Memphis, and Nashville are ruining TN. Nashville is run by a corrupt Democrat Mayor who took over from a disgraced female corrupt Democrat Mayor who was screwing the Chief of Police. The taxpayers paid for their trysts. The mayor resigned in shame and disgrace. The chief of police gracefully retired on a full pension. The so-called “Music” industry is corrupt to the core, and dictates everything. We’ve lived in middle TN for 33 years. Corruption dictates everything. State government looks out for the politicians, their families, friends, and cronies. They do absolutely NOTHING for the fine citizens of this beautiful… Read more »
You forgot the worst of all, Austin.
I got your back on that bro! I 2nd that comment!!!
Idaho just lowered Constitutional Carry age to 18. Sorry Montana, Idaho wins on stronger 2A rights.
And our Governor is not a commie.
Good POINTS Tony… though I am so sorry to have to admit it, your assessment is spot on.
HOW in th hell did Montanans EVER put these kind of people in positions of power ???? MY heart aches….
Despite inroads by DeMarxists in the two large metro areas ARIZONA has been declared the most
gun-friendly state in the US in the Guns & Ammo survey for five years running. Ruger likes us.
Patriot Ordnance Factory likes us.
I live in the great State of Florida, and I have an AssHat living by me from Commie CT. He’s a drunken, liberal, bully who hates guns and gun owning conservatives. He thinks all we need are single shot .22 rifles. I told him a long time ago if he felt that way to take his fat ass back to the Commie State he came from!
FORGET COLORADO! We’ve lost it. So sad. I’ve lived here all my life (72 years) and cannot believe how we pissed it away to the LGBTQ libs. Makes me wanna puke!
Where ever they move, the most important thing is they are moving from a anti-gun state and taking their jobs, taxes, and employee consumer dollars with them. Good move Stag!
Indiana would be a natural choice. The entire constitution is taught in police academy and I doubt there is a stronger 2nd Amendment endorsed state. We just hosted the NRA convention and other numerous hunting venues. We have a varied and diversified skilled labor base to choose from. Tax abatements can be had, just ask!
I echo David L. Moon’s statement! Not only is Indiana a very supportive environment for the second amendment, we have legislators that are vigorous in they’re defense of, and in introducing new freedoms to those of us that have an inherent interest in our natural, GOD given rights. We have many manufacturing sites statewide, close to highways, railroads and airports, for manufacturers of everything and anything, considering a relocation to a tax friendly and people friendly atmosphere!! Not only is this type of environment found on the state level but also from county and local governments and businesses. An let’s… Read more »
Stag will end up in TN, SC, or NC. No yankee carpetbagger bullshit, no stupid state regs to deal with, plus….. NO UNIONS(!) “right to work” – which means they’ll be paying slave wages compared to the lucre they were shelling out to the lazy fux in CT. The Puritan NE just keeps drying up and dying. You jackasses up north have no one to blame but yourselves – keep pulling the lever for the DNC! In fairness, voting in many states is pretty futile if you are not a committed communist, but oddly enough, if your state lawmakers are… Read more »
Mission is also a Constitutional Carry State. Would love to work for Stag Arms. We need the jobs, and the people here are great folks. Stay away from Kansas City and Saint Louis and it’s all good from there.
The Lone Star would be a nice brand booster!
Come to Kansas it’s not California
The north east is a hard place to be a gun maker although that are was all Arsenal between the revolutionary war to world war two .Im in Arizona.The most liberal thing here is gun. Laws .Ruger moved here and Sith and Wesson brought there west coast headquarters to Scottsdale.New Britton is a great town Stanley tools is there still it’s great be in town full of metal workers and lathe turned .We have Ruger here .J&G sales , Mr Gary Reeder and Dillon persition and the gun guru Mike vinterino you’d guys would fit right in .I need a… Read more »
Two other companies moved out of liberal states, PTR out of Conn to SC and LMT from Illinois to Iowa.
Don’t forget that we have the Been Avery Shooting Facility here in Arizona, one of the BEST. Also, AZGFD is planning yo build four more public shooting ranges in the state. I wish all firearms-related business would leave the Left Coast, the Marxist Northeast, and drug-addled Colorado, and move to Arizona, which is the gunner’s paradise!.
Pocatello Idaho is the place to be calm and check it out please before you make any decisions
And stay away from the neighboring State of Washington, where the 2nd Amendment has been deliberately and completely trashed by the LT Goobernator Bob Ferguson and his Boss, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, Carbon Block Head Goobernator Jay Inslee. GO to a Gun Friendly State. -Yes, that is right. The Ferguson and The Inslee, (A Pair of Subversive Agent Provocateurs) have factually done more to trash the United States and Washington State Constitutions, than any other PAIR of POLITICIANS in State History. Modern Day Destroyers of Liberty they are. – Many and I mean MANY Businesses are relocating away from… Read more »
The “Left Coast” has become a Marxist outpost.
I second Kentucky as a good choice…. We are a GOLD STAR state…. Constitutional carry and no silly capacity limits…
Plus we could use the jobs….
Just stay away from Louisville/liberalville
I agree Guntucky would be a great place to setup a new production facility. We have Double Star already in Winchester, KY. We are a gun friendly State.
Follow weatherby, Wyoming is a shooters paradise
Barnesville, Ga. needs ya. Not GOD fearing but GOD Loving best small city in the south to live in where everybody knows everybody. Trump country and Kemp to back Him up. First small manufacturing city in Georgia. Buggy capital of the World.
Come to the gun friendly state of Alabama.
Not so sure about that anymore..the morons in the state houses still cant pass permitless carry..
Yes Alabama will be your best bet
Tennessee would be a great state for your operations. No state taxes and I would love to get back into the gun business. I worked for sabre defense before they sold out to manroy.
