    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.
    I can't trust my life to it means it can't eat a case of ammo in a afternoon without Fu@kin up.

    Jmar you need to take a Manufacturing 101 class. Just because a company makes lowers does not mean every company that buys a lower from them get the same product. There is something called tolerances, One company might require the ordered product to be within 1/64 of the specs requested as another company might require tolerances of 2/64th. These numbers are not real specs just examples but I hope you get the point as it is very apparent. What do you think the manufacturing company does with all the parts sent back to them that are out of spec? they scap it or sell it to another company that those parts fit their spec tolerances.

    Murphman you are correct. One of the divisions of my company is composed of a fab shop and a full cnc shop. We have made the same part for different companies using varying specs.

    And you can hand a bad smith a bag the best quality 1911 parts on the planet and he'll hand you back a POS.

    Again, that they made some parts for other manufacturers = zero relationship to their final product.

    Worst ARs on the market? No. Are there better choices out there for similar or slightly more $$$ used and vetted by those who have forgotten more about the platform in a day than 98% of the other AR users will ever know? Yes.

    Deal with it.

    A well known company that's made slides and frames for various higher end 1911 producers has never produced a 1911 of the quality of those companies they sell the slides and frames to. Funny how that works.

    I'll be the first one to admit that, when I have the funds, I'll be purchasing/building a higher end AR, probably a DD.

    That being said, my first and only AR is a Stag. I've got approximately 2,500 rounds through it, give or take, with no problems. Everything appears to be staked properly but I'm no gunsmith so I decided to snap a few quick pics.

    I'd be curious to hear from some of the more experienced members as to whether or not these qualify as "properly staked."

    As she sits right now, stock plus a weapon light.





    I tried to get some close-ups of the castle nut and BCG. I apologize in advance for pic quality.

    First off murphman I'm in the manufacturing business, I know all about tolerances and different specs for different customers. Secondly, you need to learn how to have a discussion without being insulting. All I was trying to say is that Stag AR's are good quality and a good value. If you want to spend $1,400-$2,000 for an AR go ahead, I'll keep spending $800-$900 and spend a the rest on ammo.
