My First AR-15: CORE 15 M4 Piston. A Keeper????
Last week I picked up my first AR15. It is a CORE 15 M4 Piston model. I went in my LGS looking for a Colt and they suggested this as they did not have any Colts in stock. It was listed for $1120. I didn't know much about them but I couldn't pass up the deal and goodies the guy was offering to go with it. I ended up buying a weapon that I know nothing about the make, which is extremely rare. Can we say impulsive?
I have since been doing some research since. What I have found about CORE 15 is that they are manufactured by a company that builds Airboats, Israel Anzaldua, formerly from Bushmaster, is their VP, and they are guns built by shooters. They are built to Mil Spec or tighter tolerances, 1/7 barrel chambered in 5.56x45mm, Lifetime transferrable warranty.
Seems like a good deal and it is a gas piston system. The gas piston system is an Adams Arms system and they have a proprietary bolt that is suppose to alleviate some of the issues that can be associated (bolt tilt I think) with piston systems.
What do you guys think? Good deal for a piston rifle? Sell it and buy a Colt 9620?
Here's What I Have:
