OLY! because they're warranted and I know oly made them, all the rest are from parts houses they just finish and assemble.

I would take the Stag first, over the RRA. Let me explain the difference, both are machined by CMT, but RRA has a slightly different spec from Stag, Stag makes a small modification to make their lowers easier to work with, RRA lower receivers are milled slightly undersize in the rear lug area, I'm guessing that they spec that for hand fitting at their factory, Stag receivers are relieved in that area, simply put, they go together easier.
Some might think tighter is better, but it really doesn't make any difference at all, the fit between the upper and lower on an AR has no effect on accuracy at all!
For the person assembling an AR, the Stag is easier to work with, quite a few first time AR builders complain their new builds using RRA receivers don't fit, and they don't want to go grinding on their brand new receivers!
I've built AR's on both Stag Arms and RRA lower receivers, I'll take the Stag any day over the RRA.

I've been real pleased with my DPMS lower. No complaints with it at all, but it is the only lower I've ever had (couldn't get anything else without waiting for 6 weeks at the time).
This is a good point, the RRA stripped lowers are 90+ days back logged. Some would say that's because they are selling boat loads of them. Complete lowers are stocked at many places.
Stag is a good unit no doubt. Certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings to have a few.
RRA is known to be tight, some like it some dont.
I think everyone would agree that if you use/shoot a gun, it will loosen up? So IMHO tight wears in to right.
Their lineage from CMT is noteworthy. Not to mention both of the companies ownership are good folks.
