How good is CORE 15?


The one you listed at the top of this page is pretty good from the looks of it. I'm a fan of the slim handguard.

When spending a bunch of money on an AR, generally you pay for:

1. Brand
2. Testing standards (for the bolt carrier, barrel, etc.)
3. Accessories (handguard, stock, trigger, grip, etc.)
4. Finish
5. Sights

If you just want a basic reliable rifle, I would say you've made a good choice.

For general plinking for distances under 50yds and HD just get some iron sights.

I have a EO Tech on my 5.56 with BUIS (back-up iron sights). I really like the set up as I can co-witness the BUIS with the eo-tech.

I like iron sights, scopes and rails add too much weight for a truck gun imo. Only issue is you can't see the sights at hog:30.

What are the brands of your 3 rifles?
I am going by Warrior Ranch Training Center in Brookwood, AL since they said that they can custom built them. Plus, they have shooting ranges.

Lots of answes and options. Too much for me to get into. Lots of good mid levels.
I would buy a BCM and be done. 16" mid length.


I own a palmetto state and love it. For what I paid years ago I could buy a BCM today. Not that anything is wrong with Palmetto state.

Same. Love my PSA but my BCM is a way better gun. PSA is a good, not great, rifle. I've killed hogs with the PSA, and have yet to do so with the BCM, so it will stay in the family.

Uhhh, 300blk is expensive to feed. 5.56 is fairly cheap. .300blk is superior in ballistics in terms of energy downrange even though your holdovers will be higher. If money isnt an issue, .300blk is the way to go. For $2000 and .300blk, I would pay the $200 and SBR it. Arsenal Democracy is bouncing back with a new owner. Here is thier pdw in .300blk. A setup like this would look slick. I would say start the build and fill out the form 1 and wait until they come out with the stock (should be 3 or 4 months)

It is not a issue. Thanks for the help. Want to get down as much information as I can.

We have problems with:
Coyotes
Armadillos
Swamp rats
Snakes
Beavers
