Savoir_FaireStag Arms any Good?
How do they rate in quality compared to Colt, Bushmaster, DPMS, etc ? I don't have an AR but I want one especially before the Democratic Socialists ban them again.
What are the best ARs out there?
Thanks.

Juggernaut76I cant really speak to their quality, but I think you'd have to look long and hard to find a junk AR from a major producer these days. Stag has been a forerunner in bringing new ARs to market-probably more left hand versions than any other major manufacturer. As a matter of fact a 6.8 SPC variant was just reviewed in this months Guns and Ammo. For my money however, I can't do better that a Rock River. I've got a National Match A2 and after 2500 rounds or so have never experienced a failure of any kind and it continues to amaze me with MOA accuracy with nearly any load.
I've got a left handed Stag M-4 and have had no problems with it. Fit and finish is good and it will shoot 1.5 to 1.75 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards with hornady ammo. I'm only using a 1-4x scope so I might even be able to shoot it a little better with higher magnification. As nice an AR as you'll find in the price range.

fla3006Stag makes the S&W M15 line of ARs. I have one, seems OK.

Lloyd Smalei like the one i have. It never misses a beat and is very accurate.
Stag are VERY good products. All true mil-spec with good q.c. They are on par with Colt quality and better than RR, DPMS, and Bushmaster. I have (5), all working guns and have never had a problem.

starmetalOne of the best. They should be on par with Colt, CMT owns stag and for many many years CMT made most of Colts parts for the AR and M16.
