Can You Trust a $350 Rifle?

This review looks at the Andro Corp ACI-15 as a true budget AR. We focus on what matters to an everyday shooter: how it’s built, how it shoots, and how it holds up. The rail is a strong point with full Picatinny up top, M-LOK around the handguard, and QD sling points. An ambi safety is a nice touch at this price. The basic M4 stock and A2 grip feel dated, but those are easy swaps. Accuracy landed a bit over 2 MOA in five-shot groups across mixed ammo, which is on par for the price. Reliability is where our sample struggled. Around the 500 to 700 round mark without cleaning, we saw feeding issues and heavy brass shavings. After a thorough clean and lube, it ran several magazines without repeats. Based on this sample, it is a workable starter you can build on, but it did not like running dirty and sits lower in our sub-$500 tier. Your results may vary.
