This gun will not likely ever see self-defense duty, except for a SHTF situation. Due to the proximity of other houses, I stay with a 12 ga for general defense work.

Any reason to balk at this deal (they had an add in the EE)?

Stag-15 Model 2HT Pre-Ban


or possibly

Stag-15 Model 4H Pre-Ban

(both on the above link)


Thoughts?

Thanks!

just my 2cents building an AR is not the best Idea for someone who doesn't know the weapon very well.

[elderboy02]

I would go with the 2H. I like 16" rifles and the flat top. It is all up to you though if you want a 16" or 20"

Bullocks. All he's doing is putting in the lower parts kit, it's not rocket science and there are plenty of instructions available. I've put together about seven of them and I didn't know how to do it for my first one. Yet they all work great.

Man, things are crazy out here. A buddy went to the gun show today and the cheapest AR he saw was $1,700. Damn, I just sold two for $750 each. I suck.

What kind of price range do you what to be in and what do you want it to do?

[AAlmeter]

I wouldn't say that price is no object, but as long as I stay within reason, it isn't.

I've been mainly looking for a carbine. I don't have much use for a 20", as I have weapons that will outperform the AR at distances.

I think I've decided upon getting the Stag 2H to keep things simple. They have the full setup on the above linked site. I will likely get that, ditch the buttstock, and get a solid buttstock from brownells or something as well as a compensator (here in NY, we still follow the Clinton gun ban).

If anyone runs into anything similar being sold without a 20-25 week wait, please give me a holler. Thanks to all for the help.

These are some of the best uppers that you can buy and they have great customer service. They will custom build it for you and I have heard it takes less then 4 weeks to get one. I have used some of their other products but not their uppers.

Adam,

The mods just confirmed your account. I PM'ed you the login info.

[AAlmeter]

Got it!

Thanks Dan.

That LaRue stuff posted above is top notch. LaRue makes quality firearms/accessories. If you want to get creative and go with something other than a direct gas impingment system (ie Piston Upper) then check out the Addax GPU. I love my 16inch Bushy. I do not recommend building an UPPER if you are new to ARs. Headspacing the barrel, etc are some fairly advanced projects in my opinion. That being said, I'm too much of a wuss to try it and I don't have the necessary equipment. Also, torquing a barrel on in my college dorm, at Virginia Tech of all places, would have one of the sheeple literally shitting themselves.

Agreed. LaRue is the best if you can afford it. He is a great guy who does a montly giveaway on AR15.com

I'm not sure if they have a 5.7mm, but I know they have 5.56mm and 6.8mm in every possibly config. I've heard nothing but good things as far as quality, and you'd be hard pressed to beat their prices. The kits section includes everything but the stripped lower.

I've been looking into them Mike. They seem to be very slow, but have a decent product.

Here's what I'm considering:

16'' AR15 C.A.R. Kit, 5.56 NATO, chrome lined chamber & bore, 1-9 twist, target crown, BAN COMPLIANT; A3 w/removable flip rear sight, 4 aperture, $65.00 option; 4 rail gas block sight base, $38.00 option; Standard bolt & carrier; Badger extended latch chg hndl, $14.00 option; YHM free float 4 rail handguard, $100.00 option; Fixed CAR buttstock; Standard A2 grip; Black

Total $712.00

Thoughts?

That's a hell of a price. I have heard Model1Sales is back logged a little because of the election. I'm kinda tall so in the 16 inch models I like the dissipator which has the full size grips. It allows me to get my left hand further away. I like you're choice of options. I'd like to see some pics posted when you finally get it all assembled.

Hmmm....I will have to seek out some similar models to try them out. Unfortunately, there aren't any ARs available in any of the local shops and none of my shooting friends own one. I'm 6'4", but I tend to have a very tight shooting position while standing.

It's all preference. I'm 6'6". A friend I work with is 6'7" and he likes the CAR style. It's all relative. Check out both if you can. If not, you can just fondle a 20" model and pretend.

Sounds kinds gross now that I read that last sentence...
