    Dense man.... He's just dense. He doesn't have the willingness to learn and probably won't admit he was taken when he bought the Stag(could have bought the Colt for not much more). So...lets downplay Colt to make oneself feel better about their bushy, stag, dpms, etc. That's the number 1 issue. Again, if the Stag runs great for years to come and many after for them, so be it. Just don't recommend the junk for serious work on here. It's the two points I'm after.

    You don't seem to know the difference between 'commercial' grade ARs
    (CMMG, RRA, STAG, BM, Olympic Arms, and even the S&W M&P15, etc...S&W being the best of those mentioned) and 'military grade' ARs (Colt, BCM, DD, LMT, Noveske & KAC).

    Commercial grade AR aren't intended to be shot often or relied upon as a hard use, training or military use. That's where the price difference comes in. It's not just 'paying' for the rollmark when you talk about military grade ARs. You're paying for the high quality workmanship and parts which lie beneath.

    Trying to defend commercial grade ARs is not only misleading and arrogant, but ignorant, because you're defending one type of AR when in reality, you no nothing of either type. People like you come in on a weekly basis trying to defend your commercial grade ARs, and like you, don't know what they speak of. It would go a long way if you'd do some research before spreading uneducated gunshop bubba info or 'what you heard' as the gospel.

    As the OP, I didn't mean to start a Sh!tstorm over which AR is best. If someone is happy, then they are happy. With that being said, it is clear some people on here know their stuff about an AR, and others don't know much at all.

    I am picking up my colt6920 with Magpul furniture later today. Are these things ready to shoot right out of the box? I was already planning on going to the range and am hoping I can break in the colt today!

    Yes. Shoot it first then decide if there are any changes you'd like to make.

    Field strip, clean, inspect and lube your rifle before shooting. Other than that, she should be ready to go! Let us know how she shoots

    A lot of people do this, I take mine straight to the range and burn the oil off it. If you have time to take home and clean, do so. If your gun store is by the range, go heat that mofo up. 6920 is GTG, nice choice.

    True, but if functionality and reliability are the hallmarks of a quality rifle then posting here that one's Stag has been great for the 1000 rounds it's had through it is a little off the point.

    Are you sure that you completely understand the concept of Mil Spec? Is this all stuff that you were told at the gun store where you bought your Stag?

    Congrats on your quality purchase. I normally do a quick inspection of the BCG, lube it generously then head to the range.

    FYI, you didn't start a shit storm. These issues Always pop up in threads like these from folks trying to rationalize throwing away hard earned money based on gunshop/ bubba info. Most do not realize that commercial grade manufacturers know that their guns won't be shot often, only to be used to shoot a few times a year at dirt clods & cans, while screaming "Hell Yeah!, Yeeee Haaaaw! We f--ked those cans up!, then taken out on the holidays to impress the brother in law, uncles and male neighbors, then set in the closet to collect dust until the next time the following year. They build and market (the disinformation campaign to make you think they are equal to a military grade guns, paying for the roll mark, they use the same parts, etc...), playing on the customers ignorance, while charging them a premium price. Given the knowledge they have about the average gun buying male, they have No interest whatsoever in building a military grade quality gun.

    I don't mean anything fancy. Mostly to wipe the parts down as needed and inspect the chamber & bore to see if there might be any unpleasant surprises, then hit it with some lube. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Then you can get on with heating it up & burning the oil off it

    I agree. It's always a good thing to give it a quick look over and some lube. I feel like some of the out of box failures some people see are due to lack of lube.
