Jard J180 Build Kits, $1299, in stock ,version for .223, .300 Blackout, not 7.62x39mm

I checked with Jard, and the second shipment will, whenever it arrives, still be smaller bolt face kits, for 556/.223, .300 Blackout, etc. They will be bringing in larger faced bolt builder kits in later shipments. Longer term, they intend to bring in some interesting additional Jard projects, like a J180 lower that takes AK mags, and something in 9 mm.
 
I was seriously contemplating buying one of these receivers to convert my DPMS panther from a safe queen to a NR tool that I can use. Problem lies in the NR part, to be NR the barrel has to be 470mm (18.5" )or longer. The barrel on my DPMS is 406 mm (16"). So that creates a new problem. Instead of having a prohib in my safe that I can't use and have to await it's fate come April 30th 2022, I have an unregistered restricted firearm in my safe. Bein in possession of an unregistered restricted fire arm would not be a good thing should LEO com knocking at my door.

You could probably order the build kit and either send your parts to Sylvestre or have a local gunsmith do the install and handle the registration for you. The J180 has an FRT entry. The only negative is the government would know you have your restricted J180, and of course it would be a range queen. Or buy a non-restricted barrel with the same gas tube length and use your other parts in an NR build.

I guess I could do that but that Kind of defeats the purpose. I could just as easily buy a completed J180.

It's hard to tell from the photo's but does the top of the receiver not match up with the top of a "mil-spec" handguard?

If you put flip up sights on, would that variance be OK, {adjust for it?} or is there a higher/riser type front sight that would need to be used?

The third shipment will have complete firearms, but if you don't want to wait, I'm sure ATRS or IBI would be happy to sell you a high quality Canadian made barrel.

As you seem to be in the know..........

Is there a time line for the larger bolt face to arrive. A none-restricted in 7.62x39 is appealing to me.

Thx

Hi AbH,

If you look at the original post and click the link, it would seem that they already have a bolt face available for 7.62x39. :)

Thanks for making time to reply, however perhaps I was not clear.

I appreciate that Jard makes a a J180 receiver set with a 7.62x39 bolt face............

However my understanding is that there is none in Canada yet, and I was wondering when they might appear here.

I hope that is more clear.

regards

AbH

They said the next shipment was going to be small face build kits(.223, .300 Blackout, etc), with .223 rifles to follow. They said specifically they were initially focussing on the .223 crowd first. If enough people call or email them, maybe they can be convinced to bringing some larger bolt face kits for 7.62x39mm for the fourth shipment...

No larger bolt heads yet. In the works.

Good to hear. 7.62x39mm piston 180s are hard to come by, with people often seeking availability on the forum, and the other option with a full M Lok handguard that takes AK mags is notorious for very inconsistent reliability between their individual firearms. There should be a market for the larger bolt face kits, assuming one can find the appropriate barrel. People may be interested in the Type 1 Grendel option from it as well.

When Jard gets around to producing an AK magazine lower, please pass along they may want to do an alternate upper or make adapters for some common folding stocks, like a Magpul Zhukov AK folding variable length of pull stock, or a picatinny adapter to use MCX/BRN-180 stocks. Hopefully the ergonomics of the lower can be improved while they are working on it, as well.
