JRA 1903A4 - Going rate?
- Thread starter ArmedGinger
- Start date
I've had two of their M-1's. They were both well finished and fitted. One functioned perfectly from the start and the other required hand operation for the first two clips put through them.
I've had two of their M1942 USMC sniper rifles. The first one I bought directly from them, importing done by Irunguns. The scope, stock and receiver had small blobs of grease, which stained the parts when removed. Questioning JRA about it, I was told to use Kroil on it to no avail. After I suggested some compensation would be in order, I got no answer. The second one looked very nice, and eventually became a good shooter. However, the front nose cap was pressed onto the stock very tightly, and it was to avoid any fitting. The band screw was 1/8 inch in diameter, but its hole was 3/8 inch. There were other signs of sloppy or incomplete fitting. I also bought one of their 03A3's which was also sloppy. Every one of my 03's required fitting of the bolt handle to the stock. They all touched. On the one I ordered from JRA, I was told I was getting a new Criterion barrel, but it was a NOS milsurp barrel.
So, I like my 1942 and won't part with it, but they seem to need some tuning from the start.
