Why no flash hider on the Stag model7?

Thanks for all replies.

My guess is that it's designed/marketed as a hunting rifle, and you really don't need a flash hider when you're hunting (unless the deer you are hunting can't hear well and see's your muzzle flash if you miss and runs off )

Because they're cheap? j/k

What's on the end? Bare threads?

No, it's just a flush barrel similar to a bolt-action hunting rifle.

Cost and to differentiate it from the AR line. My guess is they are trying to broaden their AR market to the hunters that have some issues with so-called "military" type arms. This makes some of the fence riders feel a little better.

Definitely a sporter model, no bayonet lug, flat top, no front sight, probably has a 11 degree target crown like a lot of the varmint barrels. Flash suppressors can reduce accuracy so they are not desirable on a sporting rifle.

That was too funny! I could actually picture that happening.
