Stag lefty .308

[Czgunner]

I have an 18" lefty .308 upper coming from Stag. Plan on Building one of their blem lowers to finish it.

While I love my PWS MK216, I get so much gas to face during suppressed shooting that I don't like shooting it.

Anybody have much trigger time on the "new" Stag .308 rifles? More specifically the lefty version?

https://www.griffinarmament.com/sn-ach-suppressor-normalized-ambi-configurable-handle/ I use these on M5 and AR 15 without issue. Magazine gets sooty, gas has to go somewhere but that's it. Just my 2 mags. Have fun brother 🍺🍺

Yeah, I tried a few different charging handles as well. Just wasn't doing enough.

The upper shipped quickly and arrived this morning. Looks great, except it's a righty upper LOL.

Emailed Stag to get a shipping label and exchange.

I'll update again when that happens. The lower should be at my FFL on Monday.

[Czgunner]

Oddly enough, the box is marked lefty, just has the wrong upper in it.

Picked up my "blem" lower today. Can't see a thing wrong with it. Pretty sweet for $99.

Now just waiting for Stag to get the correct upper sent to me....

Nice and they guarantee the barrel 😁

Stag emailed and said I should get the correct upper on Monday. Hope so! Got a Raptor charging handle coming from Joe Bobs. They were the cheapest with the military discount, and it was actually in stock.

The upper was actually a great deal: buy any upper and get a free BCG.

Just to let you know, I was looking at one today and apparently it vents the gas to the right side...into a Lefty's face. Thanks for looking out though.

You haven't had any issues with it gassing you?

[unforgiven]

None, haven't had any issues operating a right handed rifle. Even my Garand wasn't an issue. I have adapted to a right handed world. Except for SBR and slick side uppers without shell deflector then my face is the shell deflector. 😳

Yeah, we could tell.

[Czgunner]

Well, Stag fixed it quick.

Got the CORRECT lefty upper this evening via FedEx.

Once I get my ambi charging handle, I'll slap it together and maybe even have a pic.

Got it out to shoot yesterday. Had a great time. Haven't been to the range since I moved to WY in Aug.

Shooting that crap demilled headstamp euro 7.62x51. My dad gave me a bag of it some time ago. Quite a few corroded. For the most part it shot ok. Maybe 2-2.5" groups. Had a few failure to return to battery. I think due to the burr left from machining the headstamp. Got my riflespeed gas block adjusted. Love that gasblock.

Banging steel at 300 was beyond easy.

That's great news brother 👍

Took a bit to figure out the scope which uses 1/10 MIL adjustments! Good excuse to burn up crap ammo though. Suppressed it's such a sweetheart to shoot.
