Having never used CMMG parts, I have a question. I have a chance to "stock up" on some lower receivers.

I can get Stag lowers for $100 or I can get CMMG lowers for $115.
What would you do?

I also have the opportunity to buy Eagle Arms AR-10 lowers for $160.

Opinions welcomed!

Stag or CMMG lowers are quality IMO. I prefer CMMG but it's your money to use as you please.

How many lowers are you thinking about getting? For the prices you have listed you can get 8 Stag lowers for the price of 7 CMMG.

If you are just looking to stock up on lowers, more is better.

Which roll mark do you like better? The answer to that question, is the answer as to which to buy.

Well, I'm solely interested in quality/value. I'm buying purely for speculation.
I just wasn't sure about the "value" of a CMMG lower.

If I wanted to sell them someday, I take it that CMMG doesn't demand a premium price?

Actually CMMG has a great reputation.  A lot of folks prefer their roll mark to the deer head.  

Both are excellent quality though.

If you are looking to turn a profit someday, which I doubt really would ever reach the level of the machine gun business, I would go with the Stags. You can buy more and they are a quality company who will be known for a long time.


That's kinda what I was thinking too. I don't expect to get rich or anything, but I figure since The libs will probably win the Whitehouse, my $500 investment will never be worth less than $500, and hopefully $1000.

Might just mean another AR for me...FREE!!



Personally, I agree with M4builder:  They'll both net you about the same amount if the scenario you described comes to pass.  I think they are both good mfr's.  Like you, I now own three lowers, two Colt (the wonderful Sporter series with no sear block) and one Bushmaster.  If the Beast herself takes the WH, then I will probably buy three more.


May God help us all

+1, CMMG's rollmark is way better than Stag's IMO.

A lower is a lower unless you're a Colt cronie. Most of them are forged by a few select foundries & finished by ___________. Unless it has some type of unique feature I don't care where it comes from as long as it's forged & my parts will fit into it. That's me & YMMV. CMMG is one of the better companies these days, but's it hard to say what it will bring you later if you decide to sell. Buy a lower & use it.

That's pretty much the way I am. I was just curious about CMMG specifically. I think Stag is definitely a better-known company, so I'll probably get the Stags. I'm pretty neutral on the stag roll mark....looks a little "toyish" maybe, but I really could care less what roll mark is on it.

I might be all wet, but I can see Billary in the WH, a new AWB, and "pre-ban" lowers fetching a premium. At the very least, I can't see any scenario where having a half-dozen preban Stag lowers kicking around is a bad thing.
