I have had a deposit on a Stag 3GL since March 2nd from my local dealer. I called Stag customer service that day and was told they were about 4 weeks behind, not bad I thought. Well today is 8 weeks and of course no 3GL, so I called Stag customer service again. NOW THE REAL BAD NEWS. They told me that they have no Bolt Carriers to install because the last batch that was sent out for final treatment came back defective! They feel it will be up to 8 more weeks before production will begin on ANY LEFT-HANDED MODEL AR. To say the least I am very disappointed. I was very excited about getting the AR that I thought was perfect for what I wanted to use it for (some 3gun and target shooting at the local range). BTW, I looked into changing to a right hand 3G and was told another 7 weeks before they are available, about the same long wait. Might look into Rock River's new Left-Hand AR.

they told me 6-8 weeks when i order my 3GL upper last week. I wonder if the real reason is maybe they are supplying rock river with their lefty parts.

i ordered a stag 2htl from a dealer on 4/8/12. i haven't heard a word and the dealer has no eta. if what you are saying is true, i still have a considerable wait ahead of me =(

well good thing is they are on top of quality control . they probably took a big lose tossing those bad carriers.

What do you mean? Until the recent buying rush/supply chain problem, there were plenty of L models to be had everywhere.

If you were talking about the 3G, maybe I'd understand, but this is nothing compared to what we're seeing everywhere else in black rifle land.

Try finding a Spikes complete rifle of any model. Or a Larue. Check back in in 6 months when your order makes gets filled.

I Contacted them a few weeks ago asking about the lead time on a lefty m-16 bolt carrier. They said it was on indefinite back order. Guess the demand for all parts is beyond above normal.

I finally got my 3gl upper in the mail today. ive been waiting since march 19th.

Just to update, at over 6 months and still no 3GL. Customer service says they are shipping, but it looks like so few that they are not filling all of the orders around the country. Since they went 4 months without making anything left handed models that more effort would be made to fill what must be a huge backlog.

I ordered my Stag 3L with the plus pkg from a factory direct dealer in Sept. I was initially told 6-8 weeks but it came in about 4, which I thought was great considering its left handed and had the plus pkg added on.
