My complaint with stag arms is they took the cheap way out when it came to making it a "left handed" model... All they did is get a left ejecting upper receiver, and they placed it on a right handed lower receiver with the safety selector swapped out... its still a right handed milled lower receiver, with right handed mag release, even the selector switch bumps are still there... Very cheap Stag, very cheaply done...

Is there a company who makes a true left handed lower receiver?

@Dyer3503

Hardly the "cheap" way IMO.. to design and machine a working (time tested) reversed upper

Help requested! I was about to purchase Stag model 2L (lefty version) and the guy at the store (Marine rifle instructor) tried for 20 mins tell me that I should not do it. He shoots left and prefers a right hand rifle. Says no problem with brass/gas, and he prefers being able to assess the bolt/chamber faster with a rt rifle. He also said the lefty dust cover swinging up will operate poorly with an eotech sight and cause ejection problems. Any thoughts?? Rt or left Stag for a lefty?

[GunWebsites]

great question, I tend to agree with him. The left had version isn't a necessity, it's a convenience.. but since so many guns are made right handed, most left handed shooters adapt and many prefer 'right handed' guns

[Antiworld23]

Does anyone know if the CMMS .22LR conversion kit will work in a Stag left-handed upper?

[GunWebsites]

nope, it is made to eject to the right

[borgy44]

Hi- thanks for the input. Actually got the left hand version for all the reasons you stated...and I couldn't be happier. Fired it for the first time today. Flawless. And I love the left side ejection. It really DOES make a difference. And yes, I mounted an Eotech without a riser and it works fine as you have stated. A friend was shooting it at an indoor range and I was watching closely from the bay next to it with glass in between. No ejection problems and not even hitting the dust cover.

@Dyer3503 In order to make a totally left-handed rifle; reversing both the upper and lower receivers, would also require having proprietary magazines making bulk purchasing GI or Magpul magazines impossible, increasing the end-user costs. I own a 2HL upper mated to a DPMS A-15 lower; I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. I took it upon myself to modify the lower for a more ambidextrous function, which added some expense, but those are modifications I made prior to getting the lefty upper.

@Antiworld23 stag arms makes both right and left handed conversion kits for about $220 with a 25 Rnd. mag. additional mag are 20 or 30 bucks

[Otaku422]

@GunWebsites yes but that has also been done before they just continued it by making small adjustments to the lower

[MadLegit360]

I own two of these rifles. I would like to know if anyone received very "Crappy" magazines with the rifle, and if your magazine well showed some sort of wear. I did buy these from a licensed dealer (gotten several jams because the magazine got stuck internally (the part that pushes up the rounds, and I am not able to load more than 10 rounds into it).

@Antiworld23 Stag actually makes their own left-handed .22 conversion kit with their own conversion mags as well. I just found that out last night. Surprised as hell (pleasantly, of course)

[terrybeb]

@Antiworld23 CMMG .22LR comes in Left hand version as well..... a little out dated reply but thought I would post for others to see. Hope this helps.

i love my stag 5l. is there a mod for my charging handle? it is very awkward to operate.

[shitfuckershit]

hardly left handed they didnt change the charging handle which is the first thing i would expect them to do apart from the mag release which they also didnt change

so if anything this is a cheap way to call the firearm left handed

[zanuha]

Why'd they reverse the forward assist? If you're a lefty, you can easily hit the assist with your off hand.

[MrAzcabowabo]

how much was that sampson quadrail?
