Hello all new member to the forum.

I went to the gun show today and shopped around for an AR, i had in mind a few different options for a AR that  i put a little bit of research into, i still have a California drivers license so i needed a private sale, lived there for 4 years because of my wife, hated every second not alot of options for private transfer so i was limited in what i could pick up

I was disappointed once i got the show that there weren't alot of AR's for sale in my price range $1000, i looked at the booths and bypassed a few different AR's A New Frontier and  Olympic a couple Bushmasters with polymer lowers, i was talking to a guy who had a few different ARS for sale a couple Moores and a bushmaster, the Moores were 725 the bushmaster was 850, i asked him about the Moore rifle he said that they were a old machine company out of NC that had been making ARs for about 5 years and that they had recently really started to produce a good product, i was kind of skeptical but he actually suggested the Moore over the Bushmaster because of the polymer lower, even though the bushmaster was more expensive, i bought the Moore and he threw in 2 aluminum mags and pulled the carry handle off the Bushmaster for me, i bought 100 Rounds of PMC and the total was 800$ out the door private sale.

I headed home 60 mile drive, and hit up the google and did a search for Moore Machine Co ARS and my heart sank, nothing but bad reviews from numerous people about them, not a single good review to be found almost always the same complaint, feed issues and bolt carrier issues. i tossed the rifle in my truck and sped to the hills to empty a mag and try it out, the entire time i was driving had a knot in my stomach thinking i just got screwed for 800 bucks, not alot of cash but no one wants a lemon, i loaded up a mag, Slapped, Pulled, Tapped and Squeezed, first round out no problems, kept firing emptied the mag, zero problems.

so long story for a short question, did  i get lucky with the rifle, are they as bad as people say? was that mag i put down range just a fluke? i know a single mag isnt much, but i read a review where some guy claimed he had to eject  every round by hand when he took his to the range.

Thanks for any reply or info

Moore does a ton of shit for Caterpillar and other big names non firearm related. I've only heard the same bad things although it's my understanding they will work with ya to fix it.
