I bought a Stag from an individual a few months ago. Funny, I really had no idea where things would be now, but sure glad I bought in early. (Also have a Bushy XM15 that is supposedly pre-freedom group. My questions concern exact model etc. the stag came to me already all magpul -ed out. FDE stock, grip and handguard. Fixed iron up front, I added magpul rear flip up. How can I find out model number of this thing? Cannot find anywhere, and fully realize that I am a complete noob. Any tips, suggestions etc would be welcome. Oh- purchased but not mounted yet are a Vortex Strikefire w PA 3x magnifier. Package deal that I found via this board, so thanks to someone here- both pieces, plus cantilever mount and fixed high mount all for 169.00. Would you recommend my LGS mount up and sight it all up before heading to range? I have only put about 60 rounds through it so far, with iron sight only.
Secondly I have the aforementioned Bushy. Would like to know any common concerns, etc. How to verify age of weapon, and anything else that may prove useful. Only a coup,e of mags through this one also so far. Came w Firefield scope that has a fairly cheesy looking laser screwed to side. Took it off, wondering if it is worth keeping and sighting in w it, also have a cheap sitemark holo(?) red dot that I haven't tried also. Either of these worth keeping?
I don't plan on going into active combat with either of these, got them for fun, and of course for the "ya never know" factor. Please feel free to share whatever with a noob! Thanks!
