StogieC Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Posted August 19, 2014 I got a call this morning and It's shipping back to Core tomorrow for them to take another crack at getting it right. Stay Tuned.
StogieC Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Posted September 2, 2014 Just got my rifle back again. Everything looks great except that it came back with the wrong barrel. The Core30 Tac LR is supposed to have an 18" Stainless Match barrel. The new replacement is a 16" Chromoly barrel. I'm sure it is Chromoly because there is surface rust all the way around the barrel just in front of the gas block.
edgecrusher Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 Holy shit batman! How the hell do you forget what barrel goes on the rifle?
Microgunner Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 Thank you for the education on Core. There's money I won't waste now.
FaRKle! Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Core sure loves digging that hole deeper...
blue109 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 holy cow. I thought the POF stories we're bad. they clearly don't give a pewp.

unforgiven Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 When someone asked " where's the barrel for this thing,what do we do?" answer was " put something on it and ship it.So they did.... <dontknow>
Robocop1051 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 I'm not going to lie.. despite the issues you've had... That is still a SWEEEEET looking rifle.
survivalshop Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 That Carrier Key looks like its hitting the gas tube . Make sure the Carrier Key screws are tight & staked correctly ,
StogieC Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Posted September 4, 2014 I spoke to Sam from Core Rifle Systems today. I also got an email from the armorer who worked on the rifle explaining what happened and taking full responsibility for his screw up. To say that they were apologetic would be a huge understatement. To make a short story shorter... They are sending me a new upper. More importantly, they have vowed that new QC procedures are being implemented to stop these issues in the future. It's obvious that they are committed to becoming a first rate rifle maker but are having some growing pains. New review and range report coming soon.
98Z5V Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 You get to keep the upper that's in your hands right now?
sketch Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 Hopefully with the correct barrel. I'd buy one for two ?
FaRKle! Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) More importantly, they have vowed that new QC procedures are being implemented to stop these issues in the future. It's obvious that they are committed to becoming a first rate rifle maker but are having some growing pains.Uh, yeah I'll take their "vow" when I see it. They've already broken their promises a few times with you... There are no exceptions. This CORE15 rifle has been manufactured and assembled with painstaking care and precision by proud US Veterans, trained by the best there is....That is our promise and your assurance. Edited September 4, 2014 by FaRKle!
blue109 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 I get it now...military armorers started a gun company. all makes sense.
Boerboel guy Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Wow. I would have returned it for a full refund and gone else where. Great parts or not I'd never trust anything built by them with my life after seeing those pictures. My money is definitely better spent in the hands of someone who actually knows what they are doing.
StogieC Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Posted September 10, 2014 They were more than responsive and it looks like Core really went out of their way to make this right. The new upper came in today and so far, everything looks really good. I'll be doing a full "first shots" review on my Core30 TAC LR Redux this weekend provided that the weather cooperates for a range session.
98Z5V Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 Holy shits, that thing is nice. <thumbsup>
blue109 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 gorgeous. hope it runs like it looks.
survivalshop Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 gorgeous. hope it runs like it looks. From the previous posts of the problems with this rifle , I hope so too .
StogieC Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Posted September 13, 2014 The new upper functioned flawlessly today! Very consistent ejection resulting in a neat pile of brass. I got the zero roughed in today and I'll be back on the range tomorrow morning to finalize zero and really see how it groups for me.
