Ordered an AR
« on: August 10, 2012, 03:42:01 PM »
I ordered a Stag Arms AR - the 8L model.  I was interested in a piston AR and Stag's piston has a very small incremental price.  I decided on a left-handed model because, even-though I'm right handed I have to shoot long guns left handed.  All of my current long guns are right-handed but the southpaw version had an attraction for me.  My right eye is only corrected to 20/40.  Again, the Stag lefty model is only about $50 more.

Then I got upgrade happy and put on the Diamond-head Versa Rail system, Stag's .22lr conversion kit and a Geissele trigger.

The guy I ordered from said Stag quotes a two week turn around.  I was surprised given current gun sales.

Pictures and range report to follow when the transfer happens.

I'm drooling at the thought  :D

By the way, I am in town on Wednesdays if you need help breaking it in  ;D

Good call Watchman, look fwd to pics and a range report...

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Cool Watchman......


"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Hey WatchMan,....is there any way I could tend to the jealous nature and "counseling" that your FNAR might need to adjust to the new Stag addition?

It's all about making sure the FNAR gets the right "attention"......to keep family harmony and all,......

Unless they are slammed on backorders,(which they might), be the "squeaky wheel"  blindhog,..Kindly remind them it's been awhile...

I emailed them the other day and was told there was a 90 day Min. on umar's. Then on Oly forum was told that delivery dates are not contracts. I would call the factory but I ordered through my gunsmith and do not have order #. I'll just wait a little longer I guess, but at about day 120 I will do something for sure. I know they are behind by 3000 units or so the rumor goes.

I'd be happy to be called in on "consultation".  My FNAR sometimes gets lonely and having a brother or sister visit for a while would probably help its feelings.
