They both have their pluses and their minuses.  I think if I had the two sitting in front of me for the same price I'd get the Bushmaster but that's only because I have owned three and found them to be well made.

The Bushmaster lacks M4 handguards, F-marked front sight.  I think Bushmaster makes great barrels.
The Stag Arms has M4 handguards and an F-marked front sight but no M4 feed ramps.  Neither is parkerized under the FSB.

Either will serve you well.

I would choose Stag if the prices were the same. Both are great rifles though. I have both.

I agree, they don't get as much press as others but they make a decent barrel. Some have complained about sights being canted, I've had a dozen of these over the past 20 years and have yet to see this problem on a Bushy, I did have an Armalite that was off.

Bushmaster...

I have one and it is pretty much flawless. The only thing I dont like about the Bushmasters is the extractor spring, chunk it and buy an upgraded one. (like 10 bucks for a few).

If STAG still uses mil spec ext/buffer tube I would go that route

I had GREAT LUCK with Bushy
My Carbine and Rifle
ran just as good as my 2 lmt`s

Hard choice...  I prefer the BM barrel, and lower markings over the Stag, but like the Stag for everything else (milspec stock assy, LPK, "F" marked FSB, etc.).
