Stag Arms and AR ?'s

[PINski1015]

Anyone with Stag Arms experience? Like the prices so down the road I want to build one. Wanted to buy a Colt but the one model that fit my requirements had a heavy target barrel.

So here's what I'm thinking: A2 stock(fits me great see no need for adjustment),Removeable carry handle, 20in barrel with standard gas block and fsb, Full length rail with Fore grip and light. As far as optics I'm thinkin an EOTECH.

Any input on any of this?

I got one.. the model 2T. Fired about 200 rounds through so far.. seems like a good AR to me. The irons sights where dead on right out of the box at 50 yds..

Stag is a quality product. What do you intend to do with it?

A full-length rail, on a 20", is going to be very heavy, and IMHO, would be ridiculous. If your reason for a rail is just to be able to mount a light and a vfg, you could save a lot of weight, and money, using MOE HG's, and rail pieces.

BTW, a foregrip is more useful on a cqb size rifle, which 20" definitely is not.

You're asking questions, which is good. Keep researching. (you might want to check out some AR-15 specific sites)

I've actually handled a 20in AR with a full length rail and a VFG, it's honestly not bad to me and I like the handling characteristics way better than a 16in gun with the same attachments.

Stag rifles are good to go. We have used them at the Police department and for SWAT for a long time. I have had one with a 11.5" barrel for several years. It is a registered SBR.

I like a 16" for hunting and general usage, but would go midlength instead of CAR on the next one.

I'd buy another Stag, had zero probs with mine. No probs with my Bushmasters either........but the deer is more cool than the snake, esp if you put a .458 SOCOM upper on it and go after Bambi.

I've got a Stag Model 3L (lefty). I love it! I have NEVER had any problems with mine and it puts up pretty good groups! I paid about $850 brand new out the door. I know mine was a little more than the standard Model 3 because it is ENTIRELY left handed. My only complaint is that the rail is a clamshell design so it has some wobble. I'm planning on upgrading to a free float rail soon. Oh, and I already have Huntertown's Kestrel 5.56 can paid for. Just waiting on my tax stamp!

Stock: (excluding the scope of course)

Current look after adding a bunch of Magpul goodies:

10 shot group at 100 yards:

Mind you this was my second time EVER shooting my AR or an AR in general. That group definitely reflects shooter error more than the AR's accuracy itself!

Oh, and here's a picture of my friends Stag Model 3. (jkulick here on INGO) I know he won't mind me sharing this! From what we've talked about, he also loves his Stag and has ZERO complaints!

Thanks for the replies! May start in a few months.

I've had a Stag for about 2 years and love it. I built my lower with all Stag parts and then bought a lightly used Stag upper off the interweb and have zero complaints. I just put an EoTech on mine and it was definately a good investment. I think you'll be happy with both Stag and EoTech.

I have a Stag rifle that will be featured in a upcoming video. I've always been impressed with the quality of Stag AR's. I don't think you would be disappointed in using their parts or buying one of their complete rifles.

Stag is inexpensive, but that doesn't mean it is low quality. I'm not sure if this is true, but my brother in-law [a neat guy by the way, an ex-Marine whose been in Iraq for more than five years as a contractor] told me that they supply many parts for the military Colt M4's. Right or wrong, he obviously has a very high opinion of Stag. I'd have no problem at all buying a Stag.

I've had a Stag model 1 for two years and have had ZERO problems.
It does what is asked without fail.

As I understand, at one time Smith and Wesson contracted with Stag to produce their M&P 15s to keep up with demand.


Stay safe

I personally have an M&P but I've herd nothing but good stories about Stag Arms. As for Eotec I have The 512. Think video game its FRICKIN AWSOME!!!! Best $400 I've spent on an optic, changed the whole game.
