This was my first...
This was my first rifle purchase almost 3 years ago and I caught the bug so I have like 8 now, all of which I built at least half of except this one. If I were to give this a rating on value alone, it would be 5 stars, hands down. As others have mentioned, its not perfect, but it is as good as most anyone would ever need. Ok, so the reasons I did not give it 5 stars are as follows...The rail attachment method for this one is not the best, as such, the installer over-torqued it and bent one of the pins that lock it up (Only 2 nubs are used for locking, it seems rock solid, but this is a bit concerning to me) and there is a gap between upper receiver and rail, very common when you do not use a matched set. Also, the barrel has been nitrided, NOT chrome lined, when I called CORE to inquire about this, they told me that they decided that their nitriding will last just as long, while being more accurate. Maybe that is true, but I'M supposed to make those decisions, how hard is it to change the model number and give it an accurate description, which they still have not done to this day on their web site. THAT is the biggest reason I am not giving it 5 stars, I probably would over-look the rest since it is not ENTIRELY their fault the rail leaves a gap. I say entirely because they are selling a complete rifle, they made the decision knowing all the facts going in. Everything functions flawlessly through about 500 rounds and the trigger is amazing for a stock trigger in this price range that comes with a free float rail, unless you are a professional, you will not need to replace it or customize or nothing, its exactly as it should be in my opinion. A word to the wise though, while I appreciate this coming with ALUMINUM sights that have been great so far, I do not believe they are Magpul MBUS. I bought an offset pair of MBUS Pro (meaning the aluminum, not polymer), and they appeared very different. I thought maybe it was a different generation at first, but I've looked it up and none of them look these sights and their is no branding of any kind on them. Still glad to have them, saves me more money, but I do NOT believe they are MBUS.

The fit between the...
The fit between the upper and lower were okay, there were quite a few blemishes like burs, pin punch mark on bolt release, the bcg sat crookedly in the upper, the mi gen 2 ss rail was a little off alignment with the upper, the right trigger housing wall on the lower was thinner than the left side. I don't know, maybe i just got a bad one, I don't know if i should send it to core15 to be replaced with a new one or not but the rifle works and still looks nice.
