…and texted me asking what I thought of them. To be honest, I've never had experience with that brand so didn't know what to tell him. So, are they decent? Mine Colt HBAR from 1990 and Bushmaster Carbine from 1999 have been good to go over all these years so these were recommended to him.

Stag makes a decent rifle. Local here in CT.

They make good basic rifles.

Continental Machine & Tool makes a lot of their constituent parts.

I've used their receivers and LPKs, they are a decent quality. Do an inspection and make sure everything is staked and assembled properly. A good cleaning and oiling and you should be good to go.

Stag makes good stuff.

Thanks! I told him to read your posts and he is happy with the opinions.

My first AR, which I still have, is a Stag. Its quality and has never failed me in any way!
