Once in a lifetime James River opportunity!

[John Rambo]

Oh man what do I do!

Last time they got james river K98s i gave it an hour to think about it and they sold out.

I think i'll skip these though.

 

[mjay22]

Are these inferior commercial reproductions?

LOL i just pissed myself thanks alot

 

[BBq_Woa!]

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but how is 1899$ for a rebuilt Garand supposed to be exciting when the current average for Garands is around 1500-1800$?

I may be missing something glaringly obvious so apologies in that case.

JRA are awesome... Thanks... JP.

 

[Shooster]

Hmmmmmmmm...

Regarding the barrels the James River website says "We utilize very good to excellent condition GI barrels but those desiring to shoot in the CMP Garand Match can substitute a new Criterion barrel." Your website states "...and new manufacture Criterion barrels". I take this to mean that all your Garands will have the new Criterion barrels. Is that correct? I'm keen to pick one of these up but I want to know exactly what I'm getting.

Thanks.

Just got off the phone with JR and we have confirmed these guns are all original using standard GI barrels that are guaranteed 4 or less in the throat and 2 or less at the muzzle using original armory specifications. Only things not original are the springs internally and the stocks.

will more be coming after the first 100 are sold out? Or is this it for a long time?

Hrm...sitting on the fence on this one. Would have preferred the new barrels though.

Any chance you can get some with the Criterion barrels? I don't mind some refurb parts but for $2200 (with tax, etc.) I would really like a new barrel. That could be the deal breaker for me which would be unfortunate because I would really like one of these.

Thanks in advance.

Shipping to L6k 1x7? Also when are the batches supposed to arrive? And what guarantee do pre orders have?

 

[charlesquik]

Thought it was 750$ and I was like WTF im buying ASAP then I saw The remaining $1149.99 will be charged when the rifles arrive.

 

[maifire]

Still allowed the cool 8 rds too aren't we?
Awesome iconic rifle. Nice work getting these.

Yes, there is a historical exception for the garands.

We won't likely be seeing more of the re-barreled criterion versions for a while now. These guns are all original using standard GI barrels that are guaranteed a factory rating of 4 or less (out of 10) in the throat and 2 or less (of 5) at the muzzle using original armory specifications. This guarantees you that the barrels will be at less than half of their life for even the very lowest rated barrels, all others don't make the cut, even if you're looking purely for a shooter here and not a collectors rifle these barrels have a lot of life left, and if in 10 years you want to replace it with a criterion barrel that option will be there still.

Too bad. That's a deal breaker for me. I was just breaking out the credit card but back in the wallet it goes.

I remember 4 Garands for $800. Sigh.
