    Do you like your Stag 5.56?

    I have come learn that MANY of the people on this site only think that high end AR's and M4's are worthy of owning. On that note I just want to ask if anyone is happy with their Stag models? I have one and just want to know the general feeling you may have now that you own one. I also have a Spikes but we will leave that for another discussion.

    Stag is teh suckz!!!!!!


    Errr sorry. Don't own one, can't tell you.

    Personally I only stick to the high end stuff but that because what they offer is what I want. For instance, LMT. I cannot believe how slick their lowers are. From the safety, to the trigger pull they are just amazingly smooth. I am obsessed with the SOPMOD stock. BCM also provides damn near exactly what I am looking for every time. Same with Spikes (haters gonna hate though).

    I've had a Stag 2T for a few years, several thousand rounds. I gave it to my son and he's put several thousand more through it. It's been a reliable rifle that has met all of my expectations.

    I bought a Defender 2000 and forgot to specify the two stage trigger. It came with the standard military style trigger which was to me, hideous. I purchased an LMT two stage trigger which trigger slaps. I ain't that impressed with either version of the LMT trigger.

    I bought five Stag lowers, shot each 1k or so rounds, no problems. One is now designated for 5.45mm.

    Had one years ago that served me very well, this even before I knew about practical upgrades and proper staking. While I would probably own one again, considering the reports of chamber issues and sometimes inadequate staking I'd be content to say that I may have been a bit lucky and would certainly give the new one a thorough check-up at the very least.

    Regular stag models lack a lot in areas other "higher tier" ARs don't. The chambers were known to be tight in the stags safetyhit was referring to. There's a good chance your stag will work well, but for the money, there are better options.

    What about the quality of just the lower? Aren't the lowers made by CMT same as colt and a few other higher end models?

    I had a model 1 that was issued to me by my previous dept. It was an OK rifle but I was spoiled by the Colt I carried at the dept before that. IMO the Stag is a fine weapon for plinking or casual range use but is not suited for serious use. The staking on the carrier key was not up to par. There was no castle nut staking and the materials used are not up to par with Colt, BCM DD, etc. I actually had the gas key fly off and fell into the lower receiver during weapons qualification with the Stag My current dept. lets use use of our rifles and gives us a stipend every year to purchase them. Eventhough I had to pay some out of pocket I went with a DD which I have not regretted. It is a far superior weapon compared to Stag IMO. Stag has its place just not in situations where it may be needed to save someone else's life or even my own.

    For the price Stags go for around here, $899 and up, IMO you would be better suited to spend the extra $100-$150 and get a Colt 6920
