stag 2htl

[kriller134]

hey guys new to the site! im in the middle of my first ar build, and im trying to figure out what kind of upper to get. my price range is 750 on the high side. im a left handed shooter, so i was interest in the stag 2htl. anyone have any experience with this upper? ive shot my buddy's ar it's a standard and it didn't bother me, so i guess any upper is fine. thanks a lot!

Bushmaster(that's the one I have), Armilite, DPMS, Colt(make sure this fits as I herd it might not fit standard lowers). you can't go wrong with any these companies. And you know AR stands for Armilite. So if you want the orginal go get the armilite. but bushmaster has same quality and about the same price uppers.

I just bought a Stag 2h about 2 weeks ago and I paid less than 600 for it. Anyhow, Stag quality is about mid to above average, IMHO.

i was also thinking about getting the stag 2ht, or maybe just the 2h, i was just curios to see if theres any way i can attach a forward grip on the 2h?

Hmm so there's no way to attach it to the bottom of the 2h....I'd have to purchase the magpul forend and grip

I'm a left handed shooter and have a Stage 2t. I haven't had one problem with that rifle after thousands of rounds through it. I personally wouldn't go with a left handed AR as you wouldn't be able to just drop in any bolt carrier group.

If you're worried about brass hitting you in the face, don't be. The brass deflector does it's job.

I'm a Southpaw myself. I own (4) ARs and only 1 of them is a true Lefty. I believe having the Left-handed upper is just a novelty, but a unique one. I have no problem shooting Right-handed rifles. If you're on a budget, save some money & buy a "regular" AR. In the very least, install an ambi-selector switch
