    It does not do my heart good to hear of a guy walking into a store looking for a colt and walking out with a core because they threw in a bunch of "goodies". That's salesmanship at it's best and I wouldn't buy guns from them.

    When you take out your Core shooting, id use the shittiest ammo i could get my hands on (Tula, Wolf ext) and run the gun with little lube. If you get a malfunction id bring it back to the store, make a stink and see if they'll give you your money back or exchange it for a colt when they get one in (paying the difference, as a 6920 should not sell for near what you paid for the core). Normally I am not a fan of this type of thing, but they got one over on you man.

    I don't know what the future holds for this country/world (maybe you do). I prefer to buy quality so I don't have to wonder about such things. On top of this, the better name brand AR's sell MUCH better than the lower quality ones do. On top of this, what we are talking about is usually $100 dollar price difference (if that). So the question I was always ask is, why bother???

    This exactly. Plinking is never a mindset for me. I go to the range with a training mindset, even when I'm testing my hand loads. But, I get it, not everyone has this mindset, that's why they buy core, del-ton's, and ptac....

    Plinking rifle or not, you might have to depend on it. My first AR is mostly a range toy, but I still want it to be quality in case I ever need it for more than fun.

    Wow. I guess honor and integrity means nothing here anymore. You are suggesting that the OP be dishonest and try to screw the rifle up and then take it back to the store and due to his intentional acts, make such a stink that the store gives him a Colt 6920 and the difference. Remind me never to buy anything off EE from you. But then again on the internet anyone can be an Alpha Male.

    To Father of 3 if you have any questions about your rifle contact either doug@core15.com or justin@core15.com. They are aware of this thread but again the owners of this site have refused to give them advertising space.

    To Father of Three.
    Don't be discouraged just learn from the experience and move forward.
    I took me 6-8months to really figure out what I wanted in an AR. I shot a lot before then and my military experience didn't give me any indication to what the civilian market was like. I ended up with a DD for my first AR and that was only after shooting a Bushmaster, Sig's, Core, and etc. Your Core might do what you ask of it, but I liken the AR debate to cars, your on a Forum dedicated to Performance Cars and your talking about your Camry in the Sport model, it might have 4 wheels and an engine, but not the same thing. Best of luck in your endeavors, I only hope this opens you up to the wonderful world of AR's.
    I perfer black coffee in the morning, bourbon in evenings and spending money on sh*t I probably don't need.

    Totally agree with Dan here.

    Also, many folks here are speaking from zero experience with Core rifles or any info about the company. Well, I've seen them shoot under range conditions, and all operated fine.

    And just in case anyone wondered, below is the warranty copied and pasted from the Core-15 web site:

    "The rifle you have just purchased has the simplest, most plainly written warranty you will ever read. This is no fine print. There are no exceptions. This CORE15 rifle has been manufactured and assembled with painstaking care and precision by proud US Veterans, trained by the best there is. If anything is not up to your standard, accuracy included, if anything goes wrong, gets bent, broken, cracked, misaligned, tweaked, snapped or otherwise, simply contact one of our professionals and we will work to make it right. If you are the 5th owner and the rifle has seen 40k+ rounds, it simply….doesn’t….matter. We stand behind our products and we take care of our customers. That is our promise and your assurance.”

    So y'all want to run this company out of business and put vets out of work?
    Lifetime warranties are and have been a sales gimmick in this industry for as long as I can remember.

    Should we go out and buy an Oly Arms AR because of their warranty???


    I don't know of anyone that wants to see Core Rifles go out of business. Good on them for making AR's, providing jobs and being supporters of 2A! With that said, there are a lot of OTHER AR manufacturers that are just like they are (Noveske, DD, BCM, KAC, etc). Does this means that they are all equals? No.

    The main theme of this thread is if the CORE is the same quality as a Colt LE6920? I think the answer is pretty simple.....

    The owners of this site have the right to determine who and what gets.advertised here. Whether you or someone else likes it is irrelevant.

    We also don't need you act as a CORE rep. If you have information to pass to the OP you can simply PM him.
