Brian Payne Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I am running a DPMS 20" flattop w/BC comp. and RRA two stage trigger. Hogue free float tube is the only other option on the rifle. Shoots great and has never malfunctioned. A friend borrowed it for his first 3-gun shoot and now wants to purchase it from me. I have found a replacement in a used (less than 1000 rounds) JP-15 with 20" barrel, BC comp., JP trigger, JP adjustable gas block, all in excellent shape. $1300.00 for the used JP-15. In your expert opinion. Should I give a new shooter a chance at a known rifle, then take the chance on trading up to a JP? I have no complaints on my DPMS, but I have got to say the JP really looks nice. I am also curious about the adjustable gas block, and if it will really assist in recoil control or not. Any thought appreciated. Payne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'd buy the JP and keep the DPMS. A - You get to add another rifle to the family. B - You don't give up a rifle that you know and know that runs! Seriously though if it's a financial issue, then I'd trade up. Why not? It's a win-win all around. As for the gas block, it's not so much for recoil control as it is for smoothing out the cycling of the rifle. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
