    They should just start making ALL their guns to these specs,it's what most people want anyways.

    No kidding.

    I'd think it'd be easier to source all your parts the same than run a sub par production gun.

    OP, where are you getting the $100 figure from? Sorry if I missed it.
    Interesting thought on CMT. Does CMT = Mil-Spec?

    Just curious.

    I think that is a good business model. Those who just want a plinker or casual AR can get it at a lower price, those who know enough and/or want better, can get the better one for a decent value.

    "Plus Package". What a bunch of marketing bullshit. That they would make features that most knowledgeable people consider standard part of an "upgrade" makes me want to avoid them now. I agree with another poster on another thread that this sounds like an attempt to get their name on the "left of chart" then lose the plus package features at some point while still having their quality certified.

    Watch my left hand, watch my left hand, oops, got hit with the right hand.

    I think they are trying to target two different markets.

    Market A) The casual dirt shooter, who just wants a low round count black gun. I would imagine this is a huge portion of the market.

    Market B) The informed consumer, the person looking for all the goodies that make you feel warm and fuzzy.

    2 cents,

    I realize I worded my post a little strongly but I have never fallen for any company's "custom shop" nonsense. It's just an excuse to charge more for what they should do to every firearm that leaves their factory.

    It's like having to pay extra to have a car where the brakes actually work and the tires last more than 30,000 miles.

    I agree but for only business model B. You can't tell me joe dirt needs a 1/7 twist, HP/MP, auto carrier etc. rifle for shooting 100 rounds a year a tin cans?

    Heck, most targets I see at the range the rifle is the LAST thing people need to improve.

    Im not trying to turn this into a 1/9 vs 1/7 debate etc, I agree that a mill-spec style rifle is the better option in most casses. Yet for some, it will never matter.

    I would love nothing more then for stag to go full lefty and compete with BCM and the like. They bring jobs to the local economy and are decent guys to chat with on the phone.

    This is just a big pet peeve of mine: the attitude that the company can't or won't make something quality if they don't have to. Only if they think they will lose business do they buck up and make something properly. I wonder how many lower tier components Stag will outsource to China?

    Yes, no, maybe, sometimes? Does CMT not have the capability to produce TDP level parts? I was under the impression that they produced everything from hobby-grade to MIL-SPEC?

    I actually am curious.
