I have a Stag and really like it a lot. That being said.....

Did you guys catch the fact that the original poster's friend has brain cancer. Regardless of his occupation his days above the grass may be limited. I think his friend is just trying to "make a wish" for his dying buddy. I don't know about you guys but I would be willing to wait an extra day, week, or even a month for my upper....If i knew it would make a positive impact on an other wise suffering human being.

Just my 2 cents.

Guy comes on here and M4 bashing a company instead of finding out who are their dealers are and asking if they have any in stock? Or, getting one from any of the gun auction sites? Something smells fishy...who knows if the story is even true?

yes, we did see that the guy has brain cancer. If Stag wanted to do something special for him, that would be great. But for a back-ordered product, expecting them to do something because he is a "firefighter with cancer" and then badmouthing them on the internet because they couldn't help at this time is wrong.

I can only speak to my personal experience with Stag:

I had a problem with a Stag upper that I bought USED via private party. Stag paid both ways for shipping and fixed it for free, no questions asked. I have had other Stag uppers and lowers that have all ran flawlessly. Much of the criticism of Stag products is likely from the same crowd that criticizes Del-Ton.. range snobs who think "only the best will do" for their paper punching tactical needs.

I'm truly sorry about this guy's situation with his friend. Prayers go out. However, a public smear campaign against Stag over it looks small and petty. It won't get any traction anywhere.

Disappointed in the Troll Hit and Run poster.

I really think it's a low-blow, little girl hissy-fit and totally lacking integrity to come to this Forum with a ONE POST HISTORY and bad mouth a good company like Stag Arms.

Grow the F##K up boy.

How can someone bad mouth a company that puts Bambi on there lowers! How!

Oh not the " I'm a firefighter so I should be treated special" thing...That is getting so old.

I agree, and you should look into other options if your in a rush. Sometimes no matter the cause you just can't get everything.

If they are on back order, they are on back order, what more can they do? The demand is just way too high right now.

Things are pretty crazy right now all the shootings going on and rumors of an AW ban being re-instated. Good luck and I'm sorry to hear about your brother's brain cancer.

Only one post to go full troll, tied a previous record.

I had words with a Lt. that had his rig parked right in front of Safeway on a red curb making people walk around the rig in traffic, so the crew could go shopping. I felt that they could have dropped the crew off and have the engineer pull over to the side parking lot, he was in the rig anyway. Bunch of clowns show boating like we don't know you're here. I'm a firefighter and I want special treatment is so old. Get over yourselves.

Emergency vehicles are parked in front like that for 2 reasons:

1. Crew can run out and jump in quickly in the event of an emergency call. Response time shortened by not having to run to some side parking lot.

2. To not be blocked in by other cars in case of emergency call as above. If you were calling 911 you would want them there quickly. Things like where you park your rig make that possible.

OP,

Shame on you for your lame attempts to bully your way to the front of the line.

Want to do something nice for your buddy? Great. That's admirable. Find a lefty upper out there and buy it. But don't go waving your flag around and expect everyone else to 'stop drop and roll'.

Here's my stag experience...

A had a problem with a 2ht upper. I called stag, and was immediately connected to John, the guy that runs that dept. After discussing my issue, he said "I'm not sure what went wrong (it was a weird problem, and not important for the context of this story), but it's our product and we own it. Here is a ups call tag #, ship it to us, and we'll either fix it or replace it in 10 days." At this point, I should point out that the upper was three years old, never been fired, and I lost the receipt...all disclosed as the start of the conversation. I shipped the upper to them. Day three, John called to report that the upper had arrived. Day eight, John called to report that the handrail had been replaced, and all was good to go. He also wanted to confirm the return shipping address. No wanting the upper to be left on my porch by the ups guy, I asked him to ship the upper to Ammo Bros, where I work. John says "oh, I didn't know you worked at ammo bros." I replied, "I know. I didn't tell you that. I wanted to see how you would treat me without any preferential treatment, because thats how you'll treat our customers." Consider it a blind test, if you will. My upper arrived back exactly ten days after other was shipped, in perfect working order, with no fuss or problem...not because I waved my flag around, but because they're good people.

Stag has top notch service.

Now that I've said my piece, in relation to stag service, here's some info relating to lefty uppers, and stag mfg in general.

They don't keep inventory. It ships as soon as its complete.

Standard lead times are running 4-6 weeks. Lead times for lefty uppers and 3G rifles is 10-12 weeks.

Deal with it.

Your expectation that, by virtue of the fact that you deem yourself better than the rest, that they should hold off their production commitments and put you at the front of the line is unrealistic. The notion that you would, as evidenced above, bully them into doing so is frankly shameful, and an affront to firefighters everywhere...who deserve our respect.

Shame on you.

I have money too!!!! Send mine first.

OP, try this place http://www.homedepot.com/
You can go buy materials to build a bridge and get over yourself. I think it's a shame your buddy has brain cancer but back ordered is back ordered. Want them to just shat one out for you?

[skyleralan]

Mine is on back-order as well, but that is expected and nothing that Stag can do. In my opinion, if you get one feel blessed. Sorry to hear about your friend, I ordered from Stag because I am left handed and have heard nothing, but great things from them.
