Yikes, indeed. I know there are a lot of people out there like yourself that cant help but want to point out (and usually exaggerate) the misfortune of others, but try to keep it in check a little.

First let me say that I am happy that Stag has good CS. At least this way when (not if) your rifle breaks they will stand behind it. I have found that some major manufactures (cough...HK...cough) have less than satisfactory CS. Still what I said about your rifle stands.

I am not attacking you, nor am I trying to embarrass you. However it is posts like yours that lead people to believe Stag is a "good" AR and that is simply not the case.

Half the stuff you posted is erroneous (I have a mil-spec buffer tube, f-stamped FSB), most of the rest isn't quantitative or substantive ("wrong" this, "wrong" that, "wrong" etc, "piss-poor" somethin else...

No Sir, half the "stuff" I posted is not erroneous. You mentioned 2 items out of a list of 12 defiencies which mentioned. Further more these 2 items are among the least troublesome of the whole list. Things like M4 ramps, barrel steel, proofing, etc. are basically non-correctable (without replacing the whole upper) and all add to to your rifle being sub-standard. I admit my data might be dated and I even mentioned that I am not sure if they are STILL using commercial buffer tubes, or are using milspec now, however the truth of the matter still stands.

Industry standards, Armorers manuals, Technical Data Packages, etc. all dictate when something is simply wrong or improperly done. Your Stag fails in most of the essential categories. If you don't like it, tough shit. I am sorry, you should have done your homework and bought something else.

...call me naive if you want, but it seems logical that if a company was in the habit of products which contained such a high percentage of "wrong" components as you suggest, they wouldn't be a company for long, especially in an industry like this).

Stag, and other companies like it stay in business simply due to ignorance and mis-information, leading people like you to purchase them not realizing they bought a turd. Sorry, but that's what your rifle is, a turd.

I feel very comfortable with the amount I spent on this rifle, and despite my relative lack of experience with this type of firearm, I'm not a complete idiot. As is my habit, I did do some research before committing the purchase. I would have preferred to have done more before hand, but the circumstances dictated to the contrary.

No one called you an idiot, but you made a lousy choice. The market is flooded with MUCH better AR rifles and if you had bothered to do any research here at all before you purchased you would have realized that.

In the end if all you bought the rifle for was to shoot some dirt, pop a box or 2 of ammo every 6 months, and show off to your buddies at a BBQ then great, glad you are happy. If you plan on doing anything more serious than this then you made a bad decision.
