Jw 105 value ?

[jdmoores]

I found a new one at a small store for 300 plus tax. Are they worth that price ?

Marstar sells them for 329$
What can you buy for 300$ these days?

If you are patient, something much better then a JW105...

A member had one blow up on him, the barrels are pinned on, and by the looks of where it let go, the chamber was drilled through where the pin goes.

Check reviews on the jaw 105 before buying. Just because something seems like a deal, doesn't always mean it is.

783 "much" better. Come on.

Yeah....much better made in every way shape and form lol. Better stock, better mags, better trigger, smoother action, made in USA vs China.... It's a long list.
By design it's much much better... Forward locking lugs and threaded barrel vs rear locking with pinned barrel. The Nork is basically a disposable throw away rifle.
For what can be done with the 783 take a look at mystic precision's blog

Thanks for the info guys. I will probably pass on this deal seeing they have a pinned on barrel. I worked the action on it and it was terrible to say the least

I have one, it shoots quite well, but the worst quality action that I own. Maybe for $200, that's all I feel it's worth...
