    I have a Stag 2T, RRA midlength chrome line LW, and a Daniel Defense M4 (one of the first 600). Despite what those on this board report, my 2T seems to be fine after a few shop mods.
    What most on here report that seems to be negative toward Stag is based on the typical end user that is going to take a rifle right out of the box and not capable of making any changes. Also it is a money issue. A Stag 2T when I bought mine was 1000 even. A Colt was about 1100. My Stag came with a Sampson quad rail and ARMS rear sight. The Colt was a base M4 with carry handle and plastic handguard. The internals were good though.

    What I did to my Stag was; 1. staked the castle nut, 2. replaced the BCG with a BCM unit and moved the factory unit to a backup after properly staking it. 3, index paint all fasteners on the unit. 4. Replace the carbine buffer with an H buffer.
    I now have almost as much money in the Stag as I would have had in the Colt to install a quad rail and a rear sight. The difference is I would have had a Colt instead of a Stag. On the one hand, it is a very smooth and accurate rifle. Shoots 55-72 grain very good and I shoot steel case in it with no problems. Ejection is very good and consistent. The DD is no better in fit and finish or smoothness. In fact, the firing pin and bolt I received in my new DD looked like they had been used for testing with corrosive ammo for about 5K rounds and never cleaned. They are still deeply pitted for some reason.

    BTW, The RRA is probably my favorite for all the RRA haters.

    Do you have sources to which parts and for whom? That would help. Of course because a company can produce quality parts for another company (a) it has no bearing on whether or not their own finished product is GTG (b) the parts they make for other "so called better AR's" under a contract end up in their own finished product.

    A and B not uncommon scenarios in the gun biz or others for that matter.

    Does that mean Stag is the = of Colt or Noveske say due to that fact?*

    * = assuming it's correct, which I don't know.

    Has no bearing on the quality of the finished product from each of those companies.

    I disagree, it has a large bearing the the quality of the finished product. You can't make a quality product if you start with inferior parts.

    I have a friend here in Mississippi who is former SWAT but now works for Glock. He has his Stag for sale. I'll have to say that thing is tricked out. Omega rail, Geissele SSA, ACOG, the works. It's a thing of beauty. I asked him why he wanted to sell it. He said he couldn't trust his life to it.
    He's the one, along with this board who steered me to LMT. I haven't looked back.
    I know there are folks here who own Stags. I know they can get a little sideways when certain details are pointed out to them on some of the obvious shortfalls of Stag.
    I can't blame them. If I had made a bad decision, I'd be pissed too.
