Most Helpful Positive Review Best and really only option for left handed ARs
this is my second stag left handed upper that I have purchased. Both have been well made and high quality, this one is no exception. I was able to put my rifle together with no issues and this thing is holding up just fine.

best forged lefty upper on the market

by Danimal, Verified Owner from SC, United States Written on June 6, 2026
I have four of these. The fit and finish is perfect. The machining and measurements are very precise with no wiggle on multiple different lowers. The 7075 aluminum is much tougher than other 6061 slick side uppers on the market made by KAK, KMT, WMD guns, DeltaTT, Davidson and the only other comparable 7075 lefty upper is made by PSA which is $30 more expensive and machining not as precise. Don’t spend the extra money to get a left handed proprietary parts kit from stag, upper parts are universal. There are plenty of options for quality ambi lowers my favorite so far is the Blem raw ambi lowers from ZRO delta for $40 when they’re in stock. There are tons of left handed BCG options on the market but my go to is the KAK chrome lined carrier paired with any of their bolts. Those things are tanks and the best bang for your buck anywhere. Trust me I’ve done a ton of research. I have 2 LH Toolcraft Nib BCGs and KAKs are better IMO and the chrome lined carrier lasts forever. Can’t go wrong with this upper it’s perfect. Just buy one and you’ll keep coming back. Don’t try to find them anywhere else, I’ve tried idk how OP keeps getting them in stock but no one else does and I’m not complaining. I currently have another one on order…happy building!
Pros:
  • Fit and finish, durable construction
Cons:
  • have to buy upper parts kit
Best Used for:
  • any AR15 build for left hand shooter
Would recommend: Yes

Lefthand struggles

by Yo Payly, Verified Owner from MO, United States Written on February 21, 2024
This Stag is a God send. Im ambidextrous in my shootings abilities, but faver my left side hold. This keeps the blowback out of my face while using my Suppressors.
Keep up the good work, both Stag AND Optics Planet.

Thanks,
Polly

Too much of a hassle

by Olowrin, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on November 18, 2023
I'm left handed. If you buy this, you will need to also have left handed everything. The BCG must be a left handed one (only made by Stag). The free-float rail also will not fit this since the ejection port opens from the top. I couldn't get it to fit into a vice block either
Would recommend: No

Great upper

by Frank, from CA, United States Written on November 9, 2023
Fit and finish is good with no scratches. Fits well with my lower without requiring tools to push pins out and separate. Forward assist and dust cover work as expected. Item shipped quickly from OpticsPlanet and I am happy with this purchase. I would buy again.
Pros:
  • Quick Delivery
  • good fit and finish
Cons:
  • None

Great Product

by RobB, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on September 9, 2023
Purchased the left-hand model for my wife's build and the receiver is durable and well-made. Did not know what to expect but would purchase again for another build but would also buy the lower receiver to complement. would recommend this upper for any build.

Stag Arms Left Hand Upper

by Max, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on November 16, 2021
My first experience with Stag. The upper is well made and no complaints. I do see that I will have to modify/shorten the ejection port cover rod to make the upper work with a rail that has anti-rotation that extends on the upper’s sides. Other than that, I wish Stag would contract Radian to make some “left-hand” charging handles putting the larger lever on the left side.
Would recommend: Yes
