It features a dedicated left-ejecting upper for safer, cleaner operation for southpaw shooters, paired with a 16-inch chrome-lined barrel and a proven Magpul stock for immediate field readiness.
Key Features

- Magpul CTR Stock: The Collapsible Type-R stock offers a solid cheek weld, friction lock to eliminate wobble, and quick length-of-pull adjustments to fit various body types and layers of gear.
- Mil-Spec Compatibility: The lower receiver is compatible with most standard AR-15 parts and accessories, allowing for straightforward customization with a vast aftermarket.
- Ready to Run: This rifle is drop-in ready. It ships with a 30-round magazine and requires no gunsmithing for initial use, just a proper FFL transfer for firearm purchases.

Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the left-handed shooter who is tired of compromising. When it comes to home defense or tactical training, a right-ejecting AR can spray gas and brass across your line of sight. This Stag 15 solves that. It’s built for southpaws who demand a rifle that fits their physiology from the start, whether for duty, competition, or as a primary defensive tool. It’s also an intelligent choice for instructors or families with both left and right-handed shooters, allowing for safer side-by-side training without brass interference.
Pros & Cons
Pros: True left-handed operation enhances safety and reliability. The 5.56 chambering offers wide ammunition availability. The Magpul CTR stock is a proven, no-nonsense upgrade over basic options. Mil-spec lower ensures broad accessory compatibility with triggers, grips, and other standard AR-15 components. The rifle is ready to use upon transfer.
Cons: Left-handed uppers and BCGs are proprietary to Stag, so replacements come from a single source. The price point is above a bare-bones right-handed AR. Some ambidextrous controls, like a safety selector, may still be desired for optimal ergonomics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a fully left-handed rifle, or just the lower receiver?
A: It features a fully left-handed upper receiver and bolt carrier group, which is where it matters most for ejection. The lower receiver is a standard mil-spec design, which is typically manipulated with the firing hand anyway. This provides the core benefit of left-side ejection while maintaining vast compatibility with standard AR-15 lower parts and accessories.
Q: Can I use standard AR-15 magazines and ammunition?
A: Absolutely. It feeds flawlessly from any standard AR-15 pattern magazine, including Magpul PMAGs and USGI aluminum mags. The 5.56 NATO chambering means you can safely use both .223 Remington and higher-pressure 5.56x45mm ammunition, giving you maximum flexibility in your ammo selection.
Q: What sights or optics does it come with?
A: The rifle is configured with a flat-top upper receiver featuring a Picatinny rail for optics but does not include iron sights. This allows you to directly mount your preferred red dot, scope, or backup iron sights—like those from Magpul or Troy Industries—without removing anything first. You’re building your sighting system from a clean slate.
Here’s the thing—for a left-handed shooter, a dedicated platform isn’t just a luxury; it’s a tangible improvement in function and comfort. This Stag 15 Tactical delivers that core advantage in a reliable, no-fuss package. See full details and availability at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
