Thread: Stag Arms AR15

Some wise council from the black rifle aficionados.
What is the consensus on the quality of the Stag arms rifles? I am thinking of my first AR and the Stag arms models from Gunz NZ seem to fit the bill for a standard military-type AR, and the price seems reachable.
Trying to figure out if I should pay more, or if I can live with something less that is made in China.

Thoughts on getting an A-Cat AR that doesnt cost more than my car appreciated.



(This is all Gimps fault.)

Bung one together that ticks all the boxes you want it to

With respect Tommy, this is one of the reasons why I have avoided AR15's so far. I have no idea what anyone is talking about.

What kind of AR15 are you wanting? Do you want a rifle (20") barrel or a carbine (16")?

NZAR15 has these https://nzar15.com/store/firearms/e-...e-dsr15f-e-cat

Best deal atm on a mil spec type AR

The Smith and Wessons are also nice

@gimp you bad

It is possible to make an AR to do just about anything you want within caliber restrictions (bloody wide really).

If you want a standard kick around model for the range and a few goats maybe get a 16" mid weight barrel model.

OH don't by Chinese, really there's no need.

CH to answer your question Stag Arms make solid mil-spec AR's incl. all the good features like chrome lined barrel, 7075 aluminium receivers, shell deflector, forward assist, ejection port cover that some cheaper brands skimp on.
If I was gonna buy a mil-spec AR right now it would be one of these:

The M&P15 looks appropriate for me, it seems to be a straightforward AR with a peep sight. The price is right.
Would you consider them to be quality firearm?

The Armalite DSR15 seems to be the same configuration rifle for the same price, but with a chrome barrel, which appeals to me.

The Smith's are solid rifles. Main differance is they have a nitrided barrel vs chrome lined, which I would prefer unless I intended to use it for service rifle competition

Bought a Stag Arms as my first AR back when you pretty much had to import an AR yourself to get one under $3.5k. I chose the stag since it was the lightest available on the market at the time. I still have it. Have put around 5-6,000 rounds through it, mainly hunting rabbits. Shoots around 3/4"- 1 1/2" out of a mil spec chrome barrel with good factory ammo or my hand loads. I have never had a failure of any sort. Only mods done is a adjustable gas block due to running a suppressor, Timney trigger, and a aftermarket fore end. Have no plans of selling it any time soon.

Colt 6720 would be a nice hunting rifle too
