Dyroe Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I have read pages up and down about the JP CTR-02. From all I've heard it is an excellent choice for IPSC Rifle or 3-gun. The problem is that the bureaucrats at Dept. of Justice here in Norway is in no hurry for giving the rifle a quick approval. April 30th was the last time anything happened and I am not sure how many more months I am willing to wait. Therefor I am considering a DPMS lower (one of the few legal lowers over here), JP part a sun devil upper. Are the JP Rifles THAT much better? Do the Sun Deveil upper come with a forvard assist and/or ejector lump by the way? I Appreciate any helg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro2AInPA Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Are you able to get just a complete CTR-02 upper in to your country? If so, GET ONE, it's an amazing setup. Put it on whatever lower you can get your hands on. Then, move to the US, we could just more gun lovers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schmitt Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 If you can wait, hold out for the JP. As a new JP / CTR02 shooter I can attest that I was 100% impressed with the functioning of the rifle. The smoothness of the action is incredible. All the components of this rifle make it a great package. It really has it all. You will not be dissapointed. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Just chuck john's barrel on any good upper and it will freak you out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro2AInPA Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Just chuck john's barrel on any good upper and it will freak you out! Don't forget the adjustable gas & low mass carrier - that's what makes the JP system so special to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I have a CTR02 upper and it absolutely rocks, regardless of the lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSI Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Go for both. My bet is that you can't lose. 2 rifles are better than one and you could probably make a buck if you sold one. Assuming that is legal of course. Good luck with the bureauracracy. (Whoa - my spelling is off. Brian- we need spell check on this site!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle O Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I myself am waiting on a full meal deal CTR-02! Oh, the anticipation! I placed my order on, Sept. 28th. Good luck on your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon9 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 The JPs are very nice. If you can't wait, the Sun Devil uppers come in two styles. A slick side style and another with a forward assist. If you only get a JP Upper the Sun Devil Lower has a very well designed tension screw to reduce any play you may get with using other uppers. Good luck.

All the components of this rifle make it a great package. It really has it all. You will not be dissapointed. Jay Jay and I got our JP rifles at the same time, but I went with the LRP-07 .308 as I shoot Heavy Metal. They run pretty much the same components, just different sizes. Just like how Jay described how impressed he was with the CTR-02, I am equally impressed with my LRP-07. The adjustable gas matched with the low-mass bolt and low-mass buffer makes the rifle well balanced. If you can wait, you will not be disappointed.

I purchased a CTR-02 and have no regrets. There is nothing to do other than add an optic and sling if needed. I liked it so much that I also got an LRP-07. I've only shot the .308 twice in the last year, but I shot my LRP-07 faster than most everyone shooting a 223 at a recent 3 gun match after never having had much trigger time with it. Try and find someone who has one nearby and send a few rounds downrange see what YOU think though. Edited October 18, 2010 by DMAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowdy-Finn Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I have had my CTR-02 for maybe 8-9 years now and love it! It is the best shooting rifle I've ever owned and I want another JP upper to put on a Bushmaster lower I've got sitting around here. Of course I will send the lower to JP for innard's.

Jaxshooter Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have 7 AR-15s. My JP CTR-02 is without question head and shoulders above the rest and they are all custom builds. When I bought mine the wait was about 3 months. I would do it again regardless of the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle O Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Oh, the suspense is killing me. Over the last 3 weeks waiting for mine, I have prepped 3,000 rifle brass for realoading.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
