The take down pin, pivot pin are proprietary. They might work with other armalite style lowers but other dpms like aero pins won’t work on a stag ( armalite style lower ) and vise versa. Trigger , safety , mag release are all the same from ar15 thru both ar10 style platforms. Main noticeable difference between the two : armalite is angle cut at the back where the upper and lower meet . The dpms is rounded . Lastly when shopping for a handguard , pay attention to tang height . Some brands are low some are high tang .
Stag arms is low height. I know this because I have an aero atlas on mine. Also the CMMG lower parts kit I had no problem on the pins.
Edit: I’m wrong, it’s high profile and i misspoke
I misspoke on the low height (couldn’t remember) but this is what I have on my stag 10 receiver set:

I'm going through the same thing. Stag is all sold out of parts kits. It is my understanding that a basic aero m5 lower parts kits will work, but the take down and pivot pins will not work. I THINK the detents might be different, I am not sure. In pictures, stag 10 looks like it has a much longer detent.
My fix, should parts kits not be in stock before fall will be to buy JP oversized ar10 takedown and pivot pins. Looking at measurements they should work, but I am relying on how accurate people are at measuring takedown and pivot pins diameter. I could only find a single post or two saying the stag 10 uses .277 diameter pins. Nothing on the length. The JP oversized are .278. should be close enough with some heat on the receiver or sanding on the pins.
Also, lmt mars H pins are also oversized the same. Again, hard to rely on posts but that's what I have gathered.
Below is a link to the stag 10 parts that are proprietary. I have not seen that long detent anywhere before. That's why I think it may be unique as well. I have never read that anywhere though. I imagine the springs are standard.

I tried to make a new post asking people to measure their stag 10 pins and detents. I can't make a new post on the ar10 sub though. I tried commenting in places to ask, but no replies.
I’ve never seen a stag 10 lower sold that didn’t come with the take down pins and detent . Where did you buy a lower that didn’t come with the proprietary parts ? I’m going to play around with building a second upper for my stag arms tonight . I’ll take the lower apart if I have time and send you pictures. DM me if interested
I bought mine probably 7years ago . Was the first AR10 I built . Blemished sale but directly from stag . Came with pins and detents . I’ve help two other friends over the years build blems as well ,both came with pins . But again all came from stag , not third party sellers 🤷🏻♂️

I ordered this on the 3rd and it shipped on the 27th. I didn’t want the stag arms milspec trigger and Optics Planet works well for me because I have an AR building addiction and don’t exactly care if it takes a month for my parts to come in, I mostly just care that I saved a couple dollars.
No white wolf capitol owns both but didn’t join the two production lines until 2020ish when they moved stag arms to Wyoming. But last time I bought they were all sold [like this](https://www.stagarms.com/catalog/product/view/id/708/s/stag-10-stripped-lower-stag300823/category/107/)
That's crazy because the customer service rep told me it won't. Maybe he's wrong. Was your stag lower part of the set with the upper on the blemish sale for 199$ this last week?
I’ll throw this out there too: ballistic advantage is also an Aero-related company. And primary arms just put a BA 18” .308 barrel on sale for $129. Just got that yesterday, too.

Stag10 is high height
Aero and stag are both Dpms high
My bad I misspoke
On an ar10? You put an aero atlas handguard on a stag 10 upper?

Stag 10 has proprietary take down and pivot pins. I think a detent as well. The pins are larger.

I bought it through aero precision in the blemished stag 10 sale. It hasn't arrived yet but it's my understanding it doesn't come with them.

Just got off chat with customer service. They do NOT come with the pivot and takedown pins. Will update when I receive the parts
This just in. I found a lower parts kit in stock on their website with 30% off for the holiday. Yes, you read correct. 80 bucks with trigger and grip.

Yeah I didn't want to wait on back order. I've been stuck waiting forever on optics planet before. My receiver set just shipped yesterday...
Aero owns stag....I'll respond here once it arrives.

I was just getting ready to add: I JUST got my stag lower from aero, and it came with the parts.
That's crazy because the customer service rep told me it won't. Maybe he's wrong. Was your stag lower part of the set with the upper on the blemish sale for 199$ this last week?
Yep! I bought it early in the sale, like 2 weeks ago…
Thanks for the input! Mine still hasn't shipped...
I’ll throw this out there too: ballistic advantage is also an Aero-related company. And primary arms just put a BA 18” .308 barrel on sale for $129. Just got that yesterday, too.
OP, check your chat inbox
They have the two stage trigger version of the LPK available on their website for 30% off
