Looking at the serrations as posted earlier, it may very well be a copy. The $15 ones do not appear to be the same as the Opticsplanet ones. That said, I don't think Stag would sell complete junk and for the price, I will be very happy as long as they work. Worst case scenario, I will put a heavier springs in the latches if they come back under recoil.  Though, if their shipping is anything like last year's BF deals, it may be a couple months before anybody knows!  Took me 2.5 months to get my LPK's.

Same here, ordered those today last year and it was about march before they showed up. Lol.

I sent Stag a message asking if these are indeed 7075 or 6061, so I'll update here once they answer my message

I ordered 3 I'm not a hard core operator type so they will be just fine with me if they are 6061,  i mean you're just pulling the bolt back

are you gorilla arming them that you need 7075?  I know the ears may be a concern but for the average joe shooting at the range

I already have Raptors on all my rifles, even one Umbrella branded one, however I still ordered 5 of these. Stag "claims" american made so I assume they are, even if they are "clones" or licensed in some way to a cheaper company that also does metal work.  I think 75 dollars on 5 of these is fine even if they sit in bags for the next 10 years. I honestly see it as one of those panic trinkets that you can later on use to barter with, I think the same about tool-craft and palmetto BCG's( thou I target the ones with no logo). I remember when I couldn't find one and got a slightly used one for $200.00. Its a roll of the dice. However remember arms list and panics still a exist. Just cause a couple of forum "armchair commandos" say its chineisium( with zero evidence) doesn't really mater to me, stag sells middle of the road stuff, not the newest fad but also not shit.

Like I said, Whose your source its Chinese?  People in general, if its cheap automatically think its cheap shit from overseas? Since WHEN has stag sold shit? Call them on their 1/9 barrels, maybe the 6075 stock tubes. I don't buy their stuff usually if at all, however it has never been considered garbage. Overruns don't happen? Cheaper metal shops in the USA don't exist? Get real.

You mean the one PSA is currently selling for $28 that also doesn't list a country of origin on the page? I know PSA stuff is supposed to be made in the US... but neither company is listing a country of origin on their page. Why does that indicate that Stag's is made in China?

There has been zero proof given that these charging handles aren't made in the US, or any information regarding their material other than comparing them to previous offerings from Stag that were made of the good stuff.

Might be made in China. Might be made of crap metal.

Might not be.

I doubt anything that Stag has is made in China.  Granted they are FAR behind the curve with 1/7 twist and 7075 t6, However they are "old school" they are an American company. And ya know what? they Fuck up it will be here if its Chinese crap. And if it is it is.

Oh, and also. MI Backup Sight Set $89 at optics planet with code.

EDIT: sorry apparently optics planet changed so you can't use the code( a little shitty, no?, even thou I did a day ago? )Anyways still a deal at $99.99

So the current PSA product I mentioned is made in China? Because it isn't listed. But when you ask them, they say it's made in the US.

See where I'm going with this? If not I'll summarize: Neither of us actually knows yet. One of us is making baseless assumptions, the other is waiting to see.

Well, that's vague

I didnt think they would be Chinese made from stag, the question for me was whether they were Radians or not.

Anything regarding materials?

I'll be pretty impressed if they manage a repeat of last years fiasco, just with a different product...

That's all they said. I would assume that these were made under license or in partnership with the patent holder maybe.

I saw this morning that it said "Preorder" instead of "add to cart". God knows how many they sold that they didn't have it stock. Did I mention that I'm glad I put in my order before the word got out too far?

Aero owns most of Ballistic Advantage, so they commonly use those barrels.

I would say the barrel is probably a Ballistic Advantage but even if its not, knowing Aero's reputation and quality, they are not going to sell a bad barrel.  Here is the same upper on the Aero website but doesn't offer much more information.

Check out the barrels at the links. They’re identical. I compared mine from Combat Armory to the one on BCA’s website. They’re the same, even down to the part marking fonts.

BCA Link

CA Link

ETA: shot it at the range today. Had several stove pipes in my P80 build. Swapped to a factory Glock barrel, still had stove pipes. Something going on with the P80 I presume. Accuracy was fine. Put all my rounds inside a 8” shoot n’ see at 25 yards without trying very hard. Was really just plinking though.
