    Its all wear items. I know some people think of firearms as heirlooms, but if you shoot enough you'll wear them out and break them.

     

    Buy whatever you want, shoot it until it breaks, and then you'll know more about what you want for your next rifle. You are not choosing your heart surgeon :)

     

    This is true for rifles and optics, although some optics you can look at and immediately know they have a drinking problem an their hands are shacking so don't let them near the scalpel.

    LOL that about sums it up.

    I definitely appreciate hearing good AND bad reviews of what I'm looking to get. The guys I'm friendly with that shoot are about 50% hobbyists and 50% LEO. My one friend (really good buddy of mine I've known since we're kids) is a Sgt. and he is the guy in his department that brings in the new weapons, trains new guys and runs the bi-annual qualifications. He's extremely knowledgable about all kinds of pistols, ARs/Rifles and shotguns. I shoot his righty ARs all the time. He takes me out to their range occasionally and we do some drills - nothing too crazy. But we have a good time, ya know? That's mainly (and God willing) all I'll ever do with whatever I get. If I was gonna go into some kind of war zone or be shooting competitions, believe me I would pass on anything that got a bad review.

    Yeah it's such a coin toss at this point, but I really haven't heard any other negative reports on the Stags. I'm not buying a gun and planning on it breaking so I can buy a knew one ...I'm saying IF it turns out i get a Stag and it does happen to fail me then I would look to get something of better build/quality.

    Man this puts me in a tough spot. I believe what you're saying but other guys I've talked to are all saying for a lefty AR go with Stag Arms. Was it a particular model SA your pals using? How long ago was this? They give their weapons lifetime transferable warranties. I feel like God forbid I'm ever in a SHTF situation I would be fine shooting a standard AR - I've been doing it so far and have plenty of friends that would hand one to me to have me on their side (I'm not a bad shot on the range). I would just like one that is 100% to my liking - not 90%. Also I'm not saying this will be my last ever AR either. Maybe someday I'll do some tactical training, my SA will break down and it'll be my excuse to justify getting a newer and nicer one at that time LOL

    Since I'm a lefty I'm going for the Stag Arms because every hardcore lefty I know gives them high marks (plus I haven't heard anything negative at all about them so that's a good sign). So I'm looking at the 2L and 3L. I'd really like the 2L with the Diamondhead handguards. The 3L looks like it comes with the gas block front sight so I see why you say get the A2 flip up instead.

    So I'm looking at different reviews and I think I'll end up giving that Primary Arms a shot (no pun intended lol). I really like the look of the Eotechs but I'm just not gonna spend that kind of $$ on an optic. I see why someone would and maybe someday when my salary increases I will too, but just not right now.

    I don't have any plans to take it to war. I just want something to take to the range for plinking and see how accurate I can get. Maybe if I get a chance some kind of weekend warrior tactical training class with my friends or something. So it doesn't have to be something you would take to war but I'd like something decent.

    My absolute main reason for wanting a lefty AR is whenever I shoot standard models I've had experiences where the exhaust goes up my nose. After 100-200 rounds it kind of nauseates me. Weird because when shooting handguns I love that smell.

     

    That being said I like guns where the standard controls are either ambi or lefty. I'm a full on southpaw and even though I CAN shoot righty guns just fine, I prefer lefty.

    Thanks Rob ...I'm looking around and posting on other forums and Facebook pages. Just looking to see if anyone has anything used that might save me a couple bucks. This'll be my first so hopefully I can get one that's more affordable. Then when I know for sure what I want I'll spend a little more (that's my plan anyway lol)

    Anyone looking to find a new home for their AR? I'm looking to purchase one soon. I'm gonna try and get to Howell today and see if they have anything for Lefties.

     

    I have my FID, matching DL and all.

    I have a spyderco sharpmaker and couldn't be more pleased. My great grandfather could pick a rock off the ground, spit on it and sharpen a pocketknife to razor sharpness. I've spent countless hours trying to figure out how to use sharpening stones and finally through in the towel and got a sharpmaker. Now all my blades are razor sharp. I keep them sharp by just running through the steps only doing 10 swipes per side instead of 25-50 whatever the video says. It just tickles me inside knowing how easy I keep my edges razor sharp - no lie.
