Anyone use a complete JP Rifle?

FlashAndPoof · Dec 22, 2016

I've heard nothing but praise about their parts and service. Still a ways away, but I'm thinking about treating myself to a complete rifle and it seems like JP would be the most recommended suggestion for a 3 Gun rifle.
I was browsing their match ready rifles and it seems like http://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=RR-JP-15MRR would be a nice choice, but then this http://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=RR-JP-15ULRR caught my eye. Anyone have experience with either of them?
I know it's probably smarter to just get the main parts and build my own rifle. I'll probably still wait until after SHOT 2017 just in case JP has some new stuff in store.

JP makes fantastic 3gun rifles. If your interest lie in JP, You can't go wrong with either of those.

Go for it. JP has a good name in AR15'S for a reason.

The first complete rifle I bought was a JP. Awesome guns!

Once I learned more about their low mass system and the sport I sold it and built a gun using a lot of the JP parts for less money with the features I wanted.

I'm not a fan of their handguards and their stock and grip selection is limited. Their hand guards are super heavy!
I'm also not in love with the extra weight of their Billet receivers.

The side charging system is cool but I'd prefer a handle that doesn't fold. Theirs feels slow/hard to grab in a hurry.

You could buy a JP silent capture spring, bolt carrier, bolt, trigger, etc. and build around them. I have never had any trouble with any old cheap mil spec reciever. And like Jesse, I don't like their handguards.
