I'm amazed that you haven't been monkeystomped by others for some of your statements in this thread.
BTW, throwing in the patriotic appeal by mentioning LE and servicemembers is a cheap and disgusting technique that is beyond the pale, imo. I'm in my 30th year of military service and from my direct experience, 90+% of servicemembers are ****ing idiots when it comes to AR/M4 knowledge. It actually is worse than just ignorance, and is firmly in the active idiocy category for a lot of them. And based on my limited exposure to LEOs, they are even worse.
To say that consumers should be happy to pay the same price for a objectively lesser quality carbine, is nuts and does not belong on this forum.
Are you unable to comprehend that a $1050 Colt 6920 is a superior product to a $1230 Stag in price and (probably) quality? What about cheaper price and better reputation are you too ****ing dense to get?
For $1299 you are firmly into Colt 6940 territory, btw.
I get that some states have Colt's carbines verboten by name, but surely there are better choices than Stag. And Stag may choose to improve their product, but like the other schlockmeister AR producers, they have a lot to prove before they are accepted as a true producer of quality. Adding $100 to the price and saying that this time, no kidding, they are going to produce a quality product just doesn't cut it.
