Hey guys-
I'm an AK guy that recently got an AR15. I bought a Stag Model 1 and took it to the range recently to sight it in. Everything went well and the rifle was smooth and fun to shoot.
The only question that I have is about some chipping on the shell deflector. It seems that when the shells are getting ejected, they are hitting the base of the deflector and chipping off the anodized material and leaving the aluminum under it exposed. This was after only cycling 40 rounds through the gun. I stopped after I noticed the chipping.
I called Stag and sent them the pics and they said that it was normal wear for the weapon but my younger brother has a Stag model 3 and gets discoloration on the deflector after shooting that wipes right off without any damage to the deflector. Is there something that is not properly adjusted or am I just being too anal about this? I am a little "picky" about my weapons looking as good as they function.
