I've shot two different versions (can't remember the models though, lol) they aren't too bad, but I don't like them too much.

+1 Stag
I have a Stag M4-gery and it's been an outstanding rifle. Eats anything, including the dreaded steel cased stuff. Shoots better that I can. Trigger is OK, not great, but better than a lot I've shot. And, I've shot a LOT of `em since 1968.
I own another AR (I actually am one of the people who has an AMEETEC), and prefer the Stag. For the $$$, it's a great value.
However, if "anything under $1,000 is crap" is your mantra, thanks for reading this far.
YMMV

Very happy with my Stag type 2. Zero malfunctions, excellent accuracy. The gas key screws are not sufficiently staked, but are easily staked by gunsmith or other tool-using primate.
I have a model 3 and I love it. The only problem I have had was when using 5.56 instead of .223 it sometimes would fail to extract. Changed out the buffer for an "H" and did the extractor upgrade and everything is great. No more problems even with that dreaded Wolf. It worked with Wolf before the changes but works better now.

I'm thinking of getting another AR-15 before the Hilary-Obama AWB of 2009 gets passed into law. I might get a STAG because I'm left handed and they make the only left-hander on the market. Just not sure I care if the rifle is right-handed or left-handed. Doesn't seem to matter as much as it does with my Winchester model 94's which lob the spent shells directly at my face when I cycle the lever. Talk about the wisdom of having eye protection!
Anyway, has anyone used a left-handed STAG AR-15?

No, but a local LEO I know from the range has one, type 2 with Aimpoint and BUIS, and he speaks highly of it. Except that it seems to throw the brass waaay to the left, and it's ammo that is provided to him through his department for practice, and he's obligated to find and return all the spent shells. He's often kicking around in the weeds.

i personally wouldnt buy a sub-$1000 AR(not a complete one anyway),but i wouldnt say they're all "crap" either.
if i were to buy a sub-$1000 AR,it would be a STAG.
best value imo(of the sub-$1000 AR's).
i still cant understand why folks are buying those CMMG BB rifles,when you can get a new STAG for just a little more.
I've also started my first AR build up recently. The Stag rifles seem to get a lot of positive feedback and I'll certainly be considering Stag components.
The ad they run on TV make me chortle though. The one with 2 "operators" in black body armor & sunglasses waddling through a Hogans Alley course look like they were filmed in someone's back yard after a coupla Budweisers...

i'd take a STAG over DPMS or BM personally(even if the BM was priced the same).

Stag Arms makes an excellent rifle.
