PistolPete Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) Well my JP Rifle arrived today and I'm obviously excited. It is the CTR-02 receiver with the SS low mass carrier, 18" 1:8" twist, Bennie Coolie comp, SoCom adj. stock, heat sink etc. You'll notice that there isn't any sights on the gun. This is only because the scope mount and tactical sight were on back order but will be shipped out tomorrow. It will have the scope on top with the short range tactical sight on the side. I'll post some new pics when the mounts arrive. I can't wait to shoot this gun and I must say it is an absolute work of art. The trigger is so crisp and breaks at 3.5#. My pictures don't do this gun any justice.... Pete With scope and tactical sight: Edited April 20, 2006 by PistolPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Provan Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Will it look something like this? I added the 1/2 riser for the STRS so I can actually use it. I cannot get low enough without the riser. I enjoy shooting mine. Recoil is a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistolPete Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 When's the shotgun showing up??? I got the shotgun about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Only had a chance to shoot it once so far. Are you going to Bass River this week end? Unfortunately I won't be there this weekend because of my wifes birthday. She turns the big 30 so I can't miss the party or I'll be divorced... Now I just have to figure out how to shoot a rifle... LOL Can't wait to test her out. I may even shoot it this weekend without sights. We shall see...

PistolPete Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Thanks for all the kind words. I can't wait to shoot this thing. I'll prob. try it out tomorrow without the sights. Just do some close range shooting. I can't recommend using JP enough. I called them up and told them I didn't know much about rifles. I explained what I was going to use it for and that I lived in the North East. He spent time with me and gave me a few options. When I was ready to order I called him back told him what I wanted and he went to work. I even changed my mind about one option on the rifle 1/2 way thru the build and he said no problem and made the change. They were great to deal with and do such great work. I'll give a full range report when I shoot it. Pete, which shotgun did you get. I remember the queries as to the JP Remington, or a Benelli. Middle Age Moment is blocking the answer I ended up getting a Benelli M1. Seems to be a great gun. I just need to get used to the gun kicking the crap out of me...

GTOSHootr Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) I see you made the change. Gets confusing being on two forums, doesn't it? Edited March 30, 2006 by GTOSHootr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I ended up getting a Benelli M1. Seems to be a great gun. I just need to get used to the gun kicking the crap out of me... LOLPete In another life I used to port the Benelli's and add a mercury suppressor in the stock. This was when the M1 was the only thing available. Also, there were no different classes for shotguns....you run what you brung. If you're going to shoot tactical, you're kinda screwed. Ammo selection will go a long way for managing recoil. I don't know if lightening the bolt will help you. Talk to Benny Hill, he seems to be the Benelli Man. Good luck with the new toys. Hopefull will run into you at some matches here in New England.

PistolPete Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Dan, Since you no longer use an M1 what are you shooting? Did you not like the M1? It may be something I switch in the future but for right now it seems great. Time will tell though. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be something I switch in the future but for right now it seems great. Time will tell though. Pete Pete, I never owned a Benelli. I used to be a a gun plumber, hence "in another life" I shoot a Wincester Super X model 1. Production of these were stopped in the mid 80's I think Typical of Winchesters in days gone by, it was all machined, the bolt rides in slots in the reciever, not on sheet metal rails. They are smooth shooting, have a faster cycle speed than a Remington. But, they are heavier than other autos now out there. The trigger group is also all machined. The carrier release is a button on the side, like the Browning Gold, Super X2, and Benelli. The only drawback, is the button must be pushed to release the carrier for loading. Practice helps overcome this minor drawback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Well, the scope mount and tactial sight came in today. Put them on and will give it a run tomorrow after work. I'll post a range report if anyone cares. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
