Of the 3 mentioned I suppose I’d prefer the Windham, since I did put it through its paces pretty hard and it responded well. Not that the Stag or Ruger wouldn’t, but I just haven’t tested them in that capacity yet. I know the Windham will perform if needed. That being said, my go to AR rifle is a LWRC which I’ve also ran hard and put away wet. My go to 5.56/.223 however is a Tavor bullpup (for much of the same reason but a few others as well). But I’d stand a wall with the Windham for sure.Understood.. the Stag was just slightly more (but again I really don't know the difference).
I agree 100%. The free floating hand guard just looks better (imo).
Thank you.. any of the 3 you prefer and why? I wouldn't be carrying mine into battle either, lol. Appreciate the response. Itll be a bit for me, but I find this thread interesting.
How does that compare to the others listed above? I don't know anything about Haniver Armory, but it looks like they build all their firearms in house? Does that make them superior in some way? They're a little more pricey then the ones listed above.
@Topshift5 just a thought... I'm sort of in the same boat interested in an AR but I opted to get a .22 built on the AR platform. Fun to learn about, shoot with the kids and not break the bank while doing so. I opted for a Tippmann M4-22 Pro. In the last few weeks we've managed to shoot a lot more for a lot less and still get the feel for it.
I know not really what you're looking for but I couldn't find anyone saying anything bad about it and it cost around $480. Just an idea, maybe it wasn't on your radar, maybe you're dead set on a "real" AR.
Thanks for the replies!
