nick romero Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 getting ready to pick up a new upper for 3gun, i really like the JP platforms but have been reading up on loki and actually shot one a couple days ago and was really impressed. which would you guys recommend?

co-exprs Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Loki and Samson both make outstanding products, especially when you consider thier price, but JP is the best. They've put the most engineering, design and focus into not only every part in the rifle but also the balance of all those parts. They don't just assemble the best parts into a rifle, they make most of those parts themselves. Since most of the parts are made by them (or specifically for them) to be assembled into thier platform, they have the freedom to tighten up tolerances to make everything work especially well. Can someone else make a better rifle? Sure, but JP is making it tougher and tougher to do every day... and still make a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike21STI Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) I thought AR uppers were a dime a dozen, then my friend let me shoot his JP, needless to say I now have a JP rifle on order. I have heard good things about the other companies too but I voted for JP since I have used one. Edited July 13, 2012 by Mike21STI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 If your budget can handle JP, then do it. Otherwise, I'd say look at Loki. Not sure what the price differences would be between those two brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Take a look at Barnes Precision Machine. www.usamade-ar15parts.com. Barnes makes quality uppers and rifles and his prices are great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have a Vltor upper which is excellent. They are the same price almost as a JP. JP makes several different models of uppers, from $160-$800. I cannot decide on a Vltor or JP. I will be ordering one next week since I found out my Bushmaster upper is out of spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the Vlor and JP are excellent quality, and you couldn't go wrong with either. Tar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki are well built and really nice, but in the end, i got another CTR02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overwatcher Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 JP and Vltor are top notch. Also ever considered building one yourself? I built my gun and got exactly what I wanted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
