There has been lots of conversation regarding a $1000 AR platform rifle. When we went looking for an AR of our own, it was not with a view to hit that price point,rather, to get a superior product. The fact that it did hit that price was nice,but not necessary in our decision making process.
Below are some of the reasons why we chose them.
Mil-Spec (see below)Forged 7075-t6 lower receiver,type 3 class 2 hard coat anodized finish,beveled magwell, machined chevrons in the front strap and bullet pictogram safety markings.
Mil- Spec forged 7075-T6 M-4 upper reciever, M-4 feed ramps and a dry lube internal finish.
16 inch M-4 profile stainless steel match grade, grade 3 polygonal groove barrel with 1:7 or 1:8 twist.
CORE 15 gas piston assembly
Proprietary monolithic, melonite coated bolt carrier.
magnetic particle inspected bolt assembly.
Picatinny flat top gas block
But the feature we liked best....lifetime warranty
Mil-Spec and Mil-Standard Explained
In the firearms industry you hear the term Mil-Spec thrown around quite a lot. Let’s talk for a minute about exactly what the term means. A specification is a standard to which the end user, in this case the US military, wishes something to be made and held to. The primary reason for this is consistency and interchangeability. Within that realm, and for what the Military Standard covers, there still remains a vast span of places and areas to “tighten up” if you will.
Let’s take a look at a few of those places…
The barrel arguably needs to be very consistent and well-tuned part of the rifle. The Military Standard here, for 14.5” and 20” M4 barrels, requires consistency of .0010 from front to rear. Here at CORE15, nothing less than .0003 will make it through our inspection process which is twice the Military Standard in tolerance. Indeed, that inspection process itself is 10x tighter than what the military requires, which is a 10% inspection rate. We inspect and test fire 100% of our barrels and in turn complete guns, no questions asked.
Beyond the barrel, in getting to the action, simply keeping within the guidelines of Mil-Spec conformity is not enough for us. Going above and beyond, both in the in the fitment, finish quality and internal parts, we do everything possible to take the AR-15 platform to the next level.
