Customer Reviews for Core-15 TAC UL II 16" 5.56 30+1 1:7

I have owned this rifle for a while now. I really like this gun. Fit and finish is great. No problems so far what so ever. Good features at great price. I will be honest I am an AK guy myself. But that being said if you are looking for an AR you will be happy with this rifle.

Perfect in all categories. Smooth fast easy transaction

Great gunnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A fine rifle! You can't beat core's warranty, or the fit and finish on their rifles. As always, a great transaction with buds and my ffl.

Read the other reviews and decided to go w/ this AR. Finally shot it today and I agree w/ all the others. Nice, solid gun from Core. Very happy and happy w/ buds, all my purchases have came in a timely manner and professionalism when I have contacted them.

A lot of research went into the purchase of this rifle. Having been in military police and being a firearms' enthusiast, I can tell you that the one I received is top quality. After getting it home, I took it down to the last spring and built it back with some upgrades (Geissel trigger with ambi safety, Magpul stock and sling, BCM ambi-charger, and some quality sights both scope and iron). Being a left handed shooter, this is necessary for a rifle to function properly for me. Throughout the process working with the rifle was simple and easy. It is properly milspec'ed with good fit and function. other quality products were easily interchangeable as you would expect with a good AR. Didn't take long to lock it in at the range. First I just had fun with rapid fire of various ammo types to see how versatile it would be - NO problemo. Using standard Winchester 55 grain 223 it zeroed in quickly with the iron sights and the scope. At 100 yards the rifle puts rounds in a three inch square easily with a bipod and table rest. Since then I have put many rounds through it and have thoroughly enjoyed this rifle. I have read some bad reports on this product and can only imagine that either the buyer doesn't know what he's talking about or it is a crap shoot as to what quality you will get from them. Since these things are mass produced by assembly line, I would tend to think it is the former reason. Purchased this when it was super cheap. Sorry you can't get them that cheap now. If I had to make all the changes to one at the price it is listed today, I would just start with a fresh build from scratch. But if you just want one that you don't plan on tweaking, buy the CORE 15; you will be happy and have a lot of fun with it.

Didn't know what to expect with this brand rifle due to it being fairly new to the industry. All reviews were good so I took a shot. The stamping is not the best but for the money this rifle is excellent. I slapped a detachable carry handle sight on it and went to the range. Mine luckily came with a 1/7 twist Gov Profile barrel, It took about 5 rounds to zero @ 50yrds and once sighted in I was able to shoot around 2 MOA 5 shot groups all day using American Eagle 55gr 556. Zero feeding/firing issues. I'm very pleased with my purchase. This is a very nice rifle for the price, also coming with what Core calls a NO BS Lifetime Warranty. Highly recommended for the bargain shopper looking for a no nonsense M4 type rifle. Thanks to Buds also, took a lil longer this time but it's the holiday season and I know they're swamped. FYI ordered on 11/30 delivered on 12/11.

Great and quick service. Thank you

Originally, I was leaning towards the M&P15 from Smith and Wesson, but after reading reviews on the Core 15 Tac UL 2, I was impressed. The rifle came in about 1 1/2 weeks. Well built and very solid. Took it to the range a week later and was right in the money with iron sights. I was able to get less than 2" inch shot groups without any trouble. The rifle shot well. I would recommend changing the butt stock to a Magpul, but other than that I am very happy with this rifle. Well made weapon and very accurate right out of the box. I would recommend Core 15 products to anyone. Bud's was very quick and efficient also.

Love this AR. Everything is tight and smooth on this rifle, and it fired everything I fed it through the aluminum mag that came with it, and the 3 PMags I got from Buds. At the time I ordered this, my friend decided to have "a guy he knew" build him a custom AR. $1500 later we hit the range together. After numerous FTFs and jams, he put his piece up and told me he wished he had bought one of these CORE-15s instead. This is a great rifle for the price.

This firearm is treating me pretty well. Glad it came with a quad rail and an open rail on top for me to put whatever I wanted on it. Which in this case is a typical RDS. The firearm came with a very cheap aluminium magazine, made the mistake of not going with PMAG first. I bought another cheap mag and would jam when it would get to 4 or 5 rounds remaining, but I blame the cheap mag on that one. PMAG is definitely the way to go, haven't had any jams or problems since. The only thing that made me raise an eyebrow about this firearm is when disassembling, the charging handle doesn't drop down into the open chamber as it should when it a key on the handle fits into a groove. It isn't really needed to for a proper cleaning, but it's just the one thing I found wrong with it, other than that it's a fantastic firearm for the price.

excellent firearm very nice gun and tight just as described

Great Rifle!! Core lifetime warrenty!1

Purchased this gun from the website and picked it up at Buds about a month ago. I've put about 300 rds off Federal .223 through it and this thing is awesome! Very tight fit. A solid gun, Midwest Industries quad rail, dust cover, forward assist, 1:7 twist barrel, a sufficient hard case and awesome warranty at a steal of a price. Stop thinking, start buying. In the few correspondence I've had with Core they've been prompt and helpful. Plus, if you live in Kentucky and pick it up from Buds they throw in 30 minutes of range time too. Great purchase all around.

Nice clean gun, exactly what I expected plus the warranty is one of the best there is. Only complaint was supposed to have 1:7 twist and received 1:9 twist instead.

I have shot about 300 rounds, I know that's not alot, but shot flawlessly. I love the grouping I'm getting. The riffle looks good the way it is. Put a iron sight on the rear And that's it zeroed it in, buying rounds too shoot. I really like this riffle. I would recommend it to all my good friends.

I've had my core rifle since oct,2014 at least over 2100rds. I've taken down bolt & stripped completely for lube as well as just basic barrel cleaning & upper receiver ( lower suprisingly looks flawless) twice. im no expert rifleman & this is first one i owned to shot. little recoil added a descent muzzle break (sounds louder & recoils softer) off amazon rapid shots with 30rd p-mags go fast. barrel heats up pretty good after 100rds straight mag dumping but functions. i typically shot 5.56 xtac or american eagle. used 223 pmc, steele case mfs 223, lake city it eats it all. only 1 failure when mag dumoing 1rd did not go bang dumped mag pull charging handle what do i see a american eagle 5.56 rd chambered wrong during feeding that canted the projectile at least 90degrees on the rd (glad it didnt go bang)! shots accurate when cold, mild or hot in 25 to a 100yds due to range distances where i stay. painted bevells in red & white which makes it stand out more than a basic black rifle on the cheap with crayon looks awesome on range than those madeup magpul furniture riles. only problem with the rifle is my problem which i should have got a mid-lenght instead of carbine with my arms being so long & how i shot the rifle unless than that didnt break my acct, works properly, accurate, durable!

This was my first AR purchase, but not my first purchase from Buds...who always scores points with fast shipping and great prices. I am extremely pleased with the rifle. Took it out this past weekend, ran 300 rounds of reman Freedom Munitions through the gun without one single hiccup. Currently I am in the process of removing the front sight in lieu of a low profile gas block so I can use the snappy red dot sight I purchased separately. The metal magazine that came with the gun was nice, however the 30 round mags from Promag bought separately ran without a hitch. Again, I am no AR expert, but I was shocked at how little kick the rifle has, how accurate it was just eyeballing the target at 100 yards, the stock flash suppressor works perfectly. The only disappointment I could express was I did email Core 15 to ask a couple of questions and never got a response. In summary, I would highly recommend this rifle for those on a budget...a great first AR purchase and you will not be disappointed. It came with a nice, hard sided case as well.

Love this rifle, I have had no issues whatsoever. I've spent a lot of time with AR style weapons, but this is the first one I've actually owned. I've put about 300 rounds down so far with many more to come. Before I shot this rifle the first time I did what any competent rifle owner would do and took it apart, cleaned it out (not that it needed cleaning) and lubed it up with some CLP. I was a little hesitant about buying a CORE 15 as my first rifle as they seem a little new but this one hasnt disappointed at all. I read a lot of reviews that were good and a couple that spoke about bolt/failure to fire issues but I havn't had or seen any of those issues as of yet based off my experience. Shipping was fast, had some small technical issues with the tracking but buds cleared it up ASAP. Thanks BUDS!

Awesome rifle! Very impressive for the price. Runs any ammunition I feed it with no issues. I will buy CORE products in the future. A note about Bud’s customer service, they are second to none. Thank you!
