What do you think about this AR?
« on: April 10, 2012, 06:30:46 AM »
I am really trying to make sure I dont buy a POS... and I was sold on just spending more money and getting a STAG...as I am confident in them... then I come across this...

This "complete kit" from Model 1 has the same barrel as the stag, same "looks" in general. I am thinking the trigger is probably not the same or as good, but that is a simple $100 upgrade or so... $150 max.
 
http://www.model1sales.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=79

So, I can buy that for $560... add a $120 lower... at $680. Can throw on the $150 trigger and be at $830...

What else could there be about this gun that is gonna suck???? Nuther hunnert or so and I can be in the Stag which I am 100% confident in....

Sounds like you already know which one you want Ernie go with the Stag or you won;t be satisfied cause you will always wonder.

You will be very happy with any Model 1 kit.   :tup:  You can even upgrade the trigger in the kit. Although if you are mechanically inclined it is very simple to turn a mil trigger into a BR trigger at home with simple tools.   :twocents:  There isn't anything special about a Stag. Save your money to buy ammo.   :)

You are way overthinking it. Get a ruger #1 and quit worrying about all the moving parts.  :chuckle:

Looks like it would work.  I have a similar looking set up in the DPMS Sweat 16.  Good shooting gun.
Cut em!

I would get the kit and upgrade the trigger to a Rock River NM.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

It is the one I have been looking at for awhile now.... just need cash....   :bash: :bash: :bash:

In my opinion, a rifle that guarantees a 1/2 moa out the box is special... but maybe in this AR world that isn't true??? One point of interest... the barrel on this Model 1 kit is the same as the Stag barrel... ER Shaw...

I could get this setup... and be shooting instead of talking about AR's... for as little as $700 after I buy a mag or two... then upgrade triggers or rework the trigger or whatever...

Thanks for the input all... I still have to get my ducks in a row to get the $$ figured out!

Bottom line, when it comes to AR's. It's all about the barrel. :tup:

Hornseeker,

Did you drop the hammer on this one or go with something else?
