There's a guy on ARFCOM from the Springs that used one of those for a build. He's supposed to do a follow up this week on how it ran. I'm getting ready to do a build and was waiting for some reviews on these uppers. [Beer]
I will post a review of it when I get it.
I might be the "guy" on ARFCOM. The guy I'm going shooting with was moving last weekend so the review will be posted this Sunday night. It is a review of their 7" pistol upper ($365) if you want to look it up on ARFCOM. Their products look great and somebody else posted on my thread that it shot fine. I will be posting some groupings as well. I'll also be sighting in a new 7.62 upper, a 1891/30, and my new Nikon scope on my 20" RRA A2 as well that day so look out.
[AR15]
Your the "guy"-looking forward to your review [Beer]
So is it "guy" or "espos1111"? You know ve hav rules about this kind of thing. [Coffee] Just making sure you feel at home. [Beer]Quote:

The JSE shot very well, once I got the red dot sighted in. It was pretty hard with that wind. It was blowing me around, hard to keep it on a 12" target at 50yds. I had some slight ejection problems. Not short cycling or anything like that. It just needs to be broken in some more. I'm going to put a #60 o-ring in and see if that helps. I could probably take it out after 100rds or so. If not I have a spare (new) RRA chrome BCG up in the safe I might use. Had so much stuff with me I forgot my spare parts kit. I'll probably buy/build another one from them later but in A2 styling. I'll post again and let you guys know about round #2 this week. I have pictures posted on ARFCOM in the pistol section if ya want to see it, unless you want me to post some here as well, I didn't know the rules on that. Look under JSE complete 7" upper, on ARFCOM.
Pictures are always good and allowed.Quote:

This thing is great to shoot. Some people said noise and muzzle flash were an issue, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Using XM193. I might buy another one for my left hand:D From what others have posted these seem like a mix of parts. None bad it seems. It looks like when they run out of one part, i.e. gas block, they will use a comparable part from a different manufacture to get them out the door. I had one on order from RRA but after talking to them about lead times I canceled. I figured for $200 less I could start with this and see If I like the AR pistol platform (I do!). They also had this to me in 3 days from time of order, minus a weekend and a holiday. Also see my post above.
Got my jse upper yesterday. I ended up upgrading to the chrome bcg, magpul handgaurd and four rail gas block. Total was $408.00. Slight scratch on the barrel from when they installed the gas block not bad. The barrel finish is a little flatter than the receiver. Other than that looks good. My sights didn't arrive yet so will just put some rounds through it to see how it cycles. Will update after shooting. Will post some pics when I get home
