1911luvr Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 So my JPSCS9 blew out during a match the weekend before last, and I need some help finding a replacement part. I found the O-rings are the same as for a faucet, but the retaining ring has been hard to find. Before you say to call JP, I've already left messages and called several times with no luck, so I'm done waiting on them. I'm trying to find this retaining ring: Anyone know where to find one? I also noticed some rounding of the channel edge where the ring sits and wondered if anyone else has had this issue: Thanks for your help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hello: Wow, where did all the "O" rings go? I have around 5000 rounds through the one buffer and it still looks new. The other has about 3000. Both of these are lightened and use a lighter spring. I don't think the split ring will hold even if you get a new one since there is a worn area that used to be the groove. The split ring should still work but the weight carrier may not. I hope you get it figured out. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
BigBamBoo Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Maybe call JP and talk about warranty? With the call IMHO. Link to comment

Only one stayed on, but was torn up badly. This one has nearly 10k rounds on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment

L9X25 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I hate to say this but, I would guess that the O-rings got chewed up, fell out, and allowed the weights to slap back a forth (for a while) until they were able to defeat that circlip/groove. I would recommend that everyone with an SCS inspect them periodically to make sure the o-rings are still there and intact. Link to comment
BlackBuzzard Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hmmmmm.......it set me back $400, but I keep a spare JP bolt and buffer in range bag. https://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPBC-9SP-SCS2 Whatever happened to the much vaunted JP service dept? Link to comment
L9X25 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 If I leave a message, they usually call back within a day or two ... Link to comment
1911luvr Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 If I leave a message, they usually call back within a day or two ...I sent an email yesterday and they just sent me the parts today. Email seems to be the hot ticket. Thanks everyone!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hello: JP is a standup company, that is why I buy their parts. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
