It was mostly a pleasure to build since the bolt catch and magazine release are factory installed. I dug through my parts bins and scrounged up most of the remaining parts for the build from parts kits leftovers. Aside from a a few springs, detents I had a Battle Arms Development fire control selector, Magpul MOE+ grip and UBR stock and a recycled Geissele SD-E trigger ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+Much ambidextrousness.<br\/>+Good ergos. The support side mag release on many ambi lowers lack leverage and can be tough to operate. Not on the STT-15.<br\/>+Tight tolerances.<br\/>+Fits tightly on DDM4 upper.<br\/>+Massive magwell.<br\/>+Has an American flag on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Rear takedown pin spring was a PIA to install. It needed to be shortened and it&#8217;s captured with a nano-sized socket head set-screw that has to be installed under pressure from the spring. I felt it was a miracle the tiny screw wasn&#8217;t lost during installation.<br\/>-Hammer pin fit was very tight. I can&#8217;t blame San Tan since Geissele pins are\u00a0close tolerance, and I think the STT was also on the tight end of the spec.<br\/> -Sharp edge below right side mag release could use chamfering.<br\/>-Has a damned iguana on it.<br\/>-It has an auto icon on the fire control selector but no accommodation for an auto sear. Kinda mall-ninja.<br\/>-Flag is backwards (or on the wrong side of the receiver.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~It&#8217;s got a finger ledge in front of the trigger guard. I&#8217;m used to resting my finger above the trigger guard, on the mag release. I find this a little gimmicky. I may change my mind with some use.<br\/>~It has rotation limited integral flush cups behind the takedown pin. I&#8217;ve never used a setup like this but have heard from guys that the sling mount can get in the way when working the fire control selector. We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m leaning back toward the simpler manual of arms and parts commonality found in standard lowers. But, if you&#8217;re lefty&#8211; or really like ambi lowers, you&#8217;ll dig the STT-15. It&#8217;s one of the best setups for southpaws on the market. At $280 MSRP, it&#8217;s an expensive lower. But, based on the quality of the machining, its unique\u00a0 features and the relative ease of assembly, it&#8217;s not a bad deal. I paid $600 for a complete Knights SR-15 lower. While KAC is it&#8217;s own animal, the point is that there is a place in the market for premium AR parts.\u00a0 These are just impressions noted during assembly. We&#8217;ll have more on the STT-15 soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-Rear takedown pin spring was a PIA to install.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":90,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[90,15,16,88],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1908],"class_list":["post-72676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gearscout","category-news","category-off-duty","category-your-military"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"TEZJOZFF3JGD5N5QTMRCBB37JY","arc_canonical_url":"\/off-duty\/gearscout\/2014\/07\/03\/building-the-iguana-initial-impression-of-san-tan-tactical-s-stt-15\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Building the iguana;
