Black Forge BF15 Tier 3, looking for advice

[espacef1fan]

I'm in Clarksville and a local shop is selling a Black Forge BF15 Tier 3 for $649 and they also provide a 15% military discount. I've done LOTS of searching on the internet and have come up with nothing useful. I'm trying to see how these are performing int he real world and who is having problems and why as I am considering purchasing one. I'm not target shooter, but I would like an AR for a jack of all trades gun because well I'm familiar with the platform from being in the military. 

 

Anyone have any feedback on these?

 

Most of what I found on the internet is just advertisements or people saying dont buy it, its not expensive enough to be good.

I've never even heard of this manufacturer. That said, recent times have all kinds of folks jumping on the AR wagon.

There's nothing particularly compelling about that rifle - even at $551. It looks like a basic build with basic spec-grade components. I'm sure some others around here will chime in, but you could likely build a similarly spec'd rifle and maybe save a few bucks.

On the flip side, you wouldn't save too many bucks building one yourself, and for the price, it might provide a good platform to build on later.

I'd probably save my money and put it towards a more tested system with a known warranty behind it. Maybe a M&P15 Sport or something at a similar price point.

In the current naming scheme of AR rifles.......that Tier 3 makes me wonder. Most people use Tier's to show quality and worth.
