So will those used to 7075 handles immediately shatter this charging handle while those used to 6061 handles be able to use just fine ??

I guess it depends. I just ordered the T3 Black Friday armor deal so I'm well on my way to being a high speed operator

I can't risk my life on a 6061 charging handle

The steel latch will more than likely cut the receiver in half before the rest of the handle shatters.

All my charging handles are 7075 except one.  The one 6061 charging handle I have is wearing substantially faster and feels more flimsy than any of the others.  For my money 6061 charging handles aren't worth the savings.

No armchair commando.  Just been involved in sales and marketing long enough to know that when companies choose to hide behind buzzwords or don't give specs, there is a reason for it.  Nothing against Stag specifically.  Many companies do the same thing.  If it is advertised as "aircraft grade aluminum" it usually means its the lesser of the grades.  If a barrel is advertised as "chromoly" it is most likely not 4150.  "MPI" can mean batch tested or individual (most likely batch because it is cheaper).  It is left just ambiguous enough to lead to assumptions.  And assumptions lead to disappointed customers.

I use ParaCord as wrap on my fore ends to keep it from being so unpleasant in cold weather, I use it for makeshift slings... So I classify it as an AR part.

Midway's paracord (if you get free shipping or if it's part of a larger order) is cheaper than the stuff on Amazon for most lengths (though the 1000 foot length, Amazon wins).
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2606149431/5ive-star-gear-seven-strand-paracord

And they've got some MOLLE milsurp stuff real cheap:
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1918117745/military-surplus-molle-sustainment-pouch-nylon
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1918580479/military-surplus-molle-ii-canteen-general-purpose-pouch-nylon
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1918693743/military-surplus-molle-ii-large-rucksack-main-pack-only

Also: If you want to talk about aluminum from 3 pages ago, go start another thread. You're off topic and just shit-posting at this point.

I won’t hesitate to order from them again next Black Friday. Everyone got their $15 lpks last year, right? Everyone has the chance to send back the CH’s if they don’t want them this year, right?

Shit happens, how you handle it matters. They’ve handled both well IMO. YMMV.

I ordered the lpk last year. It took months to get mine. This year they sale garbage. They new it was crap. After they get your money and then get caught they say, "I didn't know", "I'll refund it if you want", LOL.  Suckers are born every day. I will never be a stag sucker.  No pun intended.

Import laws.... I work in an industry that imports as many others do. Stag knows where it came from when they ordered it.

I understand your point, but these are $15 CH’s, how many would one have to buy to affect their budget enough to matter?

I can’t imagine your scenario, where a few $15 CH’s keeping someone from buying something they had planned on buying at the right price, would apply to more than a handful of people. I had a budget and a list of things I was looking for and the prices I wanted them at...CH’s were not on the list, but I bought a few anyway because a $15 ambi CH is worth a shot at trying.

I would be willing to bet that my scenario is more likely than yours.

I’ll wait and see what these things look like. If they pass muster, cool. If not, I’ll send em back. Let’s not forget what we’re talking about here, $15 charging handles lol.

I cancelled mine. I don't know the provenance of everything I buy and many things I buy I am sure they are from another country. I wouldn't be surprised to find out some things on a rifle or 2 that I own have foreign parts. That said, these AR rifles are one thing we can buy or build that can truly have 100% United States made parts. While in the grand scheme of things that is small I find some comfort in that and am left with the thought, given the opportunity, why not?

I do want to add, I think highly of Stag Arms for the way they handled this and will, at the very least, look at their web site when making future purchases.

Primary Arms ran them at $89.99 recently and I hit it.  I have paid attention to their marketing and it loooks like they pick an item or two to offer at a wash or loss-leader to win hearts and minds.  When it’s good at PA, jump.

Otherwise, OP you can dip under $100 shipped with a 10% code when they put them on sale.  SBA3 is one of the common sale items going around this year, so it will happen again if you aren’t in a hurry.

Yep, optics planet had them for $103 just a few days ago (they went back up yesterday or the day before)  and they always have 10% off codes to sweeten the deal.
