Jard J48 Hands On

[Deckard]

So are they now available?

I don't believe they are currently available. I got this one NIB off the EE.

Driller212, I have a lot of Norinco ammo to use up. What do you think it would take to get this to reliably cycle Norinco ammo?

Anybody run em hard yet
The one I had almost fell apart

I would try it first and see what happens. I had a malfunction 1/10 rounds with it. Your rifle may differ.

How did it fall apart? There is not much to fall apart on these....

The small charging handle came loose

Ah yes, I have heard of this, mine was replaced by the first owner with a proper replacement.

I ran 2000 rounds of Norinco through one of my j48s and the ammo was not the problem, and another one had 1000 rounds of a mix of worm reloads and AR223 black box and that ammo was not a problem ether.

Should note the jard ran fine with some norc ammo today, just a different batch, so nothing saying it won't work in your rifle.

Yup, she is chugging through ammo faster than I can keep up!

Accuracy is allegedly pretty good with half decent ammo eh?

Very good for a semi auto. I haven't spent too much time trying for accurate groups, but got a sub moa 5 shot group with a 3x sight (crazy!). It was a fluke for sure, but I bet I could reproduce that with a better optic and making an effort. It seems DI guns are inherently more accurate than piston guns.

Took it out for the first time yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised with it. Cycled every round flawlessly. Shoots pretty tight and has an awesome trigger.
