    Thumbs up

    I have a Stag model 1 with the Plus Package, mine has a A2 buttstock. I paid $845 for it. I love it. I've fired about 1000 rounds or so of different ammo through it and the only issue was with that Tula ammo (if I'm spelling that right).

    I put a Aimpoint PRO on it with a A2 rear sight that's always up. I put a UTG Slim Drop In Quad Rail with a Troy from handle grip and a trigger guard that drops down a little to allow more room for winter gloves. I have a half dozen USGI 30 rd. magazines I just put yellow anti tilt followers in. I can't think of the name of hand. They work great.

    All in all, I'm completely happy with my Stag and all the accessories I've put on it. I'd buy another one without hesitation.

    NYH1.

    Are you sure you are not the close minded one in this discussion, do you have anything that supports your claim that Stag uses inferior metals? I have not been able to find any evidence supporting that claim. Perhaps you are passing around misleading info.

    Why choose Stag when you have quality milspec alternatives for around the same price?

    My Stag 2T uses 4140 barrel steel and current models still do. That would probably be considered by most people to be inferior to the 4150 that upper tier rifles use. That rifle costs $1130. For that kind of money, a person can do a lot better in buying a rifle.

    i don't own anything stag, but it seems like any complaint made about stag is addressed by the plus package, including cmv barrel steel, and carpenter 158. even when a company does improve on shortcomings people aren't receptive to them. i was looking around a while back and was tempted to buy one of those at $830 (with leo discount.) i don't plan on buying one any time soon, but i'm not going to say "it's still bad because it's name is not X, ok?" glock would be nowhere if people had kept harping on the slides flying down range while shooting, or being able to just snatch the slide right off. i like supporting companies that seem a little ambitious, and make an effort to improve themselves. we wouldn't have so much to choose from in every day life if we only bought from the first companies that got something right.

    The plus package is a step in the right direction. What's the cost of one, though?

    Stag is not as bad as DPMS, Bushmaster, Olympic Arms, etc but they are way over priced. Sure you can get a Stag "Plus" package for like $999 but that's the price of Colt or BCM which is way more proven and all around trustworthy.

    **** Stag.

    Unlike AR receivers they should be plug and play if in spec correct?
    It was just an analogy to his comments vs specific to how a custom 1911 gets built vs ARs.

    Starting with quality parts obviously a plus, but it's an over simplification then make the leap their end product is the equal of other brands per se.

    That was my only point to the comment there.

    $75 on a complete upper or $100 on a complete carbine. If you buy a complete carbine with a A2 buttstock I think it's $75 because you get a full length buffer setup with the A2 stock, or something like that.

    Here are the spec's on my Stag model 1 with the Plus Package. I went with the A2 buttstock. Stag's model 1 with the Plus Package is on "the chart".

    Bolt & Bolt Carrier
    Bolt Material- Carpenter 158, shot peened (fixture method).
    HPT bolt (100%) HPT bolt round M197 or SAAMI equivalent.
    MPI bolt (100%), MPI bolt rejection- cracks & inclusions.
    Spring Extractor 5.
    Extractor Spring Buffer- black.
    Shrouded Full Circle M16 Carrier, side staked carrier key.

    Barrel & Upper Receiver
    Barrel Steel- 4150.
    HPT barrel (100%).
    HPT barrel round- SAAMI equivalent to M197.
    MPI barrel (100%).
    MPI barrel rejection- cracks & inclusions.
    Chamber- 5.56.
    1 in 7 twist rate, chrome lining barrel & chamber.
    Barrel Feedramps- M4 extended.
    Upper Feedramps- before anodizing.
    FSB- "F", FSB Pins- taper pins, Finish Under FSB- yes.
    Heat Shields- double.

    Lower
    R.E. Diameter- 1.14", R.E.
    Material- 7000 series.
    Castle Nut- staking,
