Stag Arms Left-Handed AR-15: The Industry Differentiator

Stag Arms is the only major manufacturer that produces a fully mirrored left-handed AR-15 as a standard production item. Their left-hand models reverse the ejection port, bolt carrier group, and charging handle to the right side of the receiver, while moving the magazine release and bolt catch to the right side for left-handed operation. This produces a genuinely ambidextrous experience rather than the compromises involved in running a right-handed AR-15 left-handed. For left-handed shooters who have struggled with brass ejecting toward their face or operating controls on the wrong side, a Stag left-hand model is often a transformative improvement in shooter experience. The left-hand configuration is available across most Stag model lines.

Stag 15: The Core Rifle Lineup

The Stag 15 series is the primary production AR-15 line, available in multiple configurations from a base carbine to a free-float M-LOK mid-length build. Stag 15 models use Stag’s own manufactured bolt carrier groups, mil-spec receivers, and chrome-moly vanadium barrels with a melonite/QPQ finish. The mid-length gas system on select Stag 15 configurations reduces felt recoil compared to carbine-length gas systems and is generally preferred for general-purpose AR-15 builds. Stag 15 rifles are available in both right and left-hand configurations across the lineup.

Stag Pursuit: Purpose-Built Hunting AR-15

The Stag Pursuit is a hunting-specific AR-15 built around a heavy 18-inch stainless barrel, free-float handguard, adjustable gas block, and a stock designed for use with hunting optics at longer ranges. The Pursuit is Stag’s answer to the growing AR-15 hunting market — a rifle optimized for accuracy at 200–400 yards on deer, hogs, and predators rather than a defensive or competition configuration. Available in 5.56 NATO, .223 Wylde, and 6.8 SPC among other calibers, the Pursuit appeals to hunters who want the AR platform’s ergonomics and semi-auto follow-up in a hunting-appropriate configuration.

Stag SPCC: Pistol Caliber Carbine

Stag produces the SPCC (Stag Pistol Caliber Carbine) in 9mm, using Glock-compatible magazines in a blowback-operated AR-pattern lower. The SPCC is suited for home defense, suppressed range use, and new shooters who want the AR ergonomics with reduced recoil and noise compared to a 5.56 carbine. The Glock-compatible magazine system gives SPCC owners compatibility with the most widely available 9mm magazine ecosystem.
