Customer Reviews for Core15 M4 Scout AR-15 .223 Rem/5.56 NATO Semi Auto Rifle

I shopped for quite a while to find a quality AR-15 that I liked at a reasonable price. Bud's Gun offered exactly what I was looking for with easy shopping and an easy purchase process. The shipping was fast and everything worked exactly as it was supposed to. I am very pleased with Bud's and I will shop here every time I am looking to purchase a firearm. 5 Star Review!!!

Clean, functioned well, standard govt ar15 set up. Nothing fancy. Ate all the ammo I gave it.

This Core 15 Scout is an excellent carbine. It's trim weight makes it ideal to bring along on a camping trip. An added plus is that when I was breaking it in, it actually enjoyed steel cased ammo, with not a single malfunction or failure to feed or eject during the whole breakin period which was 500 rounds. My wife has adopted this carbine as her own, and enjoys shooting it.

This rifle was great purchase. Good AR for the money

Great service from Buds.....This is a very good AR-15. Affordable, accurate at reasonable distances....dependable....Very pleased with the weapon so far.

The core 15 scout rifle was the perfect introductory rifle for me I've since modified this rifle heavily to be my own and I did not pay $700 for it so I'm very pleased that I got it so long ago when it was offered at a lower price by far but I will say that this rifle is perfect I have zero malfunctions after 5000 + rounds as being the guns only owner and it being fully mil spec i haven't had any issues with aftermarket parts not fitting and overall just comes at a good package. Thanks buds

This is a great rifle! I did clean it when it first arrived. I have put about 300 rounds through it, and I did have two rounds jam on the first clip. After that first clip, I have not had any other problems with it. I put a red dot sight on it and 4 rounds later I had it sighted in. At 50 yards I was getting a 3" pattern consistently. This is a well built rifle and I really enjoy shooting it. Buds service is great and I have, and will purchase from them again.

Horrible... What a complete piece of garbage.. Failure to fire first round out of box. 3 different ammo type don't waste your money

This is absolutely the best bang for your buck AR-15 , whether you are a beginner shooter or intermediate, this rifle won't disappoint you, this rifle has eaten everything I put through it from cheap steel ammo to brass ammo, never had any issues so far

I'm a little late on this review, I swear I had already reviewed it. Well here I am. This rifle is amazing. I was in the Army and even though we had old, beat-up rifles, they were FNH. They were not as tight as this rifle. It has VERY LITTLE, if ANY wiggle in its parts. I am currently finishing my build. I changed the standard grip to quadrail, I have a grip-pod, flashlight, laser sight, and I am running Bushnell TRS-25 with a UAG 3x magnifier. It works like a champ. I haven't had any issues whatsoever with this rifle. I started off with Wolf Polyformance Ammo, and then bought some Federal 5.56 loads, Silver Bear HP loads, and finally PMC green tips. NO FAILS. when I was using my steel GI mag, I did have one hiccup with a WPA round. But I credit that to the bullet being bad, not the rifle. It failed to load the first round. I took the mag out, rechambered it, and it worked perfectly. Maybe I didn't seat the round properly. It is very accurate, very easy to maintain, and has proven durable. I strongly recommend this rifle as a starter AR15 unless you can afford a Daniel's Defense, or HK416. I couldn't, and I probably wouldn't dish out 1000 on an AR15. An AR10, perhaps. But not a 5.56. Go and buy this one, get yourself a few PMAGs and some bulk ammo. Winchester works fine, PMC, Federal, Silver Bear, Wolf Polyformance Ammo, TulAmmo, ZQI, and even cheapo Brown Bear worked great on this rifle.

WOW! Bang for the buck. Unbeatable warranty, tight,tight,tight tolerances! Eats EVERYTHING from (HATE sending $US to Puty-Pute) new Tula 55gr steel case to reman Freedom Munitions (!!!) 55gr brass case to new Lake City XM855 62gr. ZERO FTF/FTE 700 rds through Magpul Gen2s at Ben Avery. Zeroed out a TRS-25 red-dot @ 75 yds - 2" group - then added a Blackhawk quad forend ($20 closeout Walliemart!). $675 out-of-pocket - did I mention WOW? The 1:9 handled the 62gr jus' fine @ 75yds, as if I'm a 1000yd special operator... Buds is painless and Arrow Security FFL 85306 is equally painless - highly recommended!!! Core-15 is doing it right over Ocala way! JUST BUY THIS M4GERY (#100425) from Buds, you will absolutely NOT be disappointed! NufSaid...

Bought it July 1st, and it reached my FFL dealer the next day. I'm more than Happy with product the only downfall is it did not come with the hard case or the Pmag. I also bought the combo product which is the KCI 100rd drum and it's very nice fits nice and tight a little bit of a struggle to get it out the magazine well but it's not a major problem. Thank you buds this a amazing product at a low price I will be back to buy more weapons from you all! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently got this AR and all i can say is WOW! Went through 100 rounds quick with no issues. Very accurate out of the box and i can't wait to shoot more. I highly reccomend this to anyone looking for a nice entry level AR at a great price. Thanks Buds!

After months of researching my purchase I decided on the CORE 15 - Scout - 100425. The lay-away was available so I took advantage of it and paid my weapon off in about 6 weeks. Once it was paid for the shipping process was fast and sent to the FFL recommended by Buds - turns out it was only 3 miles from my home. Picked up the CORE and even the guy at the FFL Dealer was impressed with the weapon even more after I told him what I paid for it with shipping and warranty. The CORE came with a front site and 1 - 30 round magazine. It was late January so shooting my new M4 in western Pa was not an option with the snow and cold weather. So I did what any red blooded American would do and I popped off a single round in the back yard. Don't worry I have lots of land. With the new CORE 15 cleaned up and well lubed I took to the range last week with 300 rounds. What a JOY to shoot and not a single jam or issue of any kind. What a great weapon, what a great price. I served in the US ARMY in the mid 70's and used the old M16 with full auto option, a rifle made by Colt that I fell in love with. Fast forward and my new CORE 15 is every bit as sweet. I did add a rear site, scope and sling for less than $125.00 and I was hitting dead center from 75 yards with just one adjustment on the scope. I told my son about my purchase and he went right to Buds and got a CORE M4 but a more dressed up version and he loves it. He spent 4 years in the USMC with 2 Combat Tours and he told me that the CORE was just as nice or better than the M4 he used in Afghanistan. The CORE 15 - SCOUT gets a 5 Star rating from me ***** / every aspect of the weapon exceeded my expectation and I will buy another CORE when needed. For the money I spent I got more than what I paid in the quality weapon I now own. Oh yea my CORE 15 SCOUT came with a Lifetime warranty. How can you go wrong. Buds is great to deal with and their service is also 5 STAR. So if you are thinking about buying a CORE just do it and I can assure you, you will love it. Buds will not let you down. Thank you Buds, it was a real pleasure and you will hear from me again when I need another weapon.

only shot about 100rds of tula thru her. 5 stars.

Awesome weapon. I've run a couple hundred rounds through it without any problems. Really fun to shoot, great gun for the price and you can't beat Cores warranty. Great entry level AR-15 Out of 10 stars, I give it 11

Got mine today. Nice looking gun, nice weight, well balanced, quality. I read about no magazine so I was prepared for that but now they have eliminated the case. mine came in a brown cardboard box. Still very happy.

Buds was great as always, Exactly as described besides as others have mentioned which is the mag you receive is different than the one pictured. Also I thought it came with a hard case but it does not but those 2 aren't a deal breaker for the price. If you are looking for a good quality AR for a GREAT price you cant go wrong with the Core-15 Scout

I was highly satisfied with my new rifle I love it the only thing is I was expecting the magazine in the image and didn't get it.

I bought this weapon a little over a year ago.I have ran only 90 rounds through the gun without a problem and at times i was squeezing the trigger as fast as i could, Awesome gun.This is my fifth purchase from buds and the service is consistently great

This gun is worth every penny...Ive already put 300 rds through it without one hiccup! CORE 15 is just as good as any Bushmaster or colt that Ive shot. This thing is a tack driver right out of the box! DONT BE AFRAID OF THIS ONE! Sometimes it really is just a good deal. Gun is super tight only one thing I don't like is the butt stock. Just seems kinnda cheapish but that's an easy fix! Great gun , great value for the money!

I put this gun on the 90 day layaway program.Helped my budget.Anyway,I finally got out to shoot it and was not disappointed.No rear sight came with the gun but it did come with a fair hard case.This AR is very dry when you get it ,so take some time to break it down and give it a good oiling.Ran about 100 rounds thru it on the first trip.The steel jacket ammo is o.k.,but the brass jackets are much better.If you want to add some extras you will need to change the heat guard and then put your handles,flashlights,and whatever you want on it.Bud's delivered on time as expected.

The rifle looks great with no issues described to perfection. Shipping was very fast received within a few daysdays of payment. A great gun dealer to deal and buy from with great prices

Enjoyable firearm. This is my first time using an AR15 and I thoroughly enjoy it. The action is smooth and it fired every round I put into it - I fired TulAmmo as well as Federal and it had no problem cycling both brands of ammunition. I elected to purchase a Magpul rear pop up sight and it worked well, but swapped it out for a carry handle with a built-in sight. After minor adjustments I have no problem hitting the center of mass at 100 yards, I don't know that my eyes + iron sights alone can do much better, but that's not the fault of the gun :) Overall a great deal considering it comes with the ejection port dust cover and forward assist. I have no experience with other AR15s, so I can't comment on how this stands up to others, but I am satisfied with my purchase. Arrived at the FFL within a few days, pleasant purchasing (and FFL) experience all around.

This gun rocks !!! Core 15 I am a new fan and love this M4 ! Went to the range with my father in law and we had a great day with a flawless performance with this firearm ! GET ONE this gun does NOT disappoint!
