Inexpensive AR Mossberg MMR hunter vs Norinco CQ

[kwjkwjkwj]

Hey all. Looking to get my first AR. Mostly for a fun range toy but I've been thinking about getting into 3 gun for some extra fun! I want to keep it under a grand with an optic.......I know I'm cheap. I've read a great deal of mixed reviews with Norinco quality. So I looked around and found a Mossberg MMR hunter for $599 from a site sponsor. Pretty good reviews especially for accuracy. Probably need to upgrade the trigger but it seems like a solid platform. Anybody have any hands on experience?

Ok I checked the Oracle out too but what does it have over the MMR?

 

[drifter dave]

They are well known, Dpms makes a gazillion AR's.
Mossberg arent known for their ARs.

 

[kwjkwjkwj]

Yes ok. That doesn't always mean they are better. I was kind of hoping for some in depth input with some first hand knowledge about the gun.

You won't find any first hand knowledge on the Mossberg as no one bought one. Maybe someone will speak up.
Most people want an established manufacturer of AR's.

From cheapest to more expensive:
Norinco
DPMS
NEA
Colt, S&W, etc etc
Daniel Defense, etc etc
etc etc etc etc
