Buy a JR and don't look back. Th thureon has not arrived.... I am sure it will, because armseast has a solid rep..... But it isn't here now! The highpoint is a cool looking gun, but restricted. The storm is restricted, expensive, and will cost you an extra 5 bones to convert to non restricted, but a good gun by reputation none the less. That K-Tel folding job is is a toy, fun no doubt, but still a toy. I own a JR, and it is fun, inexpensive, reliable, and very customizable, and solid like rock, with all aluminum build! It is accurate too, very accurate at 15 yards......LOL!! As far as breaking down to clean, I can have it apart in 5 minutes, and it is a snap to clean. Yes, you can't pop a couple pins to clean it up, but it's not a battle rifle, and we are not trying to clean up our carbine with rounds snapping past our ears on the battlefield, so this is a non issue to me! If it is to you, perhaps don't consider it as your zombie defense choice...lol! Otherwise for the range shooter, or casual field plinker, or hunt camp pop can killer, it is an excellent choice for the money!
