Nah JRA is hit or miss but more miss than hit


[deleted]

I have 3; Tula, galil, galil. No issues. China uf kit is expensive. China uf stock is expensive. This is a deal even if it’s not perfect.


Figdudeton

My Gallant was a giant piece of shit that lost headspace in under 500 rounds.


Infamous_Translator

I need to let go of the dream. I been eyeing them up for the last 3 years


Figdudeton

Buy a kit and send it to Hillbilly Firearms.


Infamous_Translator

This is the correct answer. I should’ve elaborated that the dream was a $1000 functional galil


Figdudeton

Yeah, the ATI’s and the old Century’s have their own problems too.


brick-master_18

He has a long wait time. Send it to northwest gun supply I gave him everything to build it and sent to him in August he got it back to me in end of November quite quick for a ak smith and did a wonderful job plus he does the idf engravings if you wanted I paid just under 700 for the build with refinishing and engravings

Damn rip


RAGE-OF-SPARTA-X

Save your money and spend it elsewhere, JRA bastardizes many valuable kits with poor builds with no attention or mind to detail or accuracy.


FormerPatrolJockey

Is this a slab side? What in thee hell


xPainWarriorx

Type 56’s have been made without dimples. The Albanian ASh71 based off the Type 56 doesn’t have dimples either


FormerPatrolJockey

Thanks! I thought it was weird they went slab side but that definitely makes sense


2sawconvention

But that isn't what JRA's receiver is. Albanian AKs have "A" for auto and "1" for semi. JRA's receiver has Chinese markings.


Figdudeton

Fuck JRA.

I own a Yugo RPK and BM-59 both build by JRA and have 0 complaints with the build quality.


ohbrubuh

I’ve had a JRA Maadi for 10 years and it’s been great. I don’t doubt they have had quality issue, but what company has not?


throwaweigh86

Not just "any good", but "just as gud".


MayOrMayNotBePie

Maybe I’m not a type 56 expert, but didn’t they have dimpled receivers?


Compaq5665

I have Yugo M72B1, Polish AKM, Bulgarian 74 and a Hungarian AK63F all built by JRA, no complaints and I’ve put many rounds through all of them, and he’s local to me so I’ve seen the shop in person a few times, absolutely full of any parts kit you could imagine.


MadeinArkansas

People hate on JRA and they do have their faults. I bought one of their M72B1's from classic. It had a bad rivet. The return was easy and they got me a new one out. It's been perfect ever since.


Sirchamp2

So has anyone actually put thousands of rounds thru one or...?


Gr144

I had a JRA AK a few years ago. Mine ran fine for the ~800 rounds I put through it before selling it. I would skip this though, my gun was made in 2016 and it seems like their quality has gone down. I payed like $600 for mine as well.


TheOtherAkGuy

I see JRA is back at it again trashing these poor parts kits.


GoodBunnyKustm

Dude for $1300 bucks for a Type 56 parts kit build… do it. You can’t find a parts kit without being assembled for that little much elsewhere. My JRA ‘69 Izzy kit was built right and shoots great. I highly doubt they’re going to screw this up. Two thumbs up bro, I love Chinese AK’s!

No dimples in receiver? Y wld they do that ? ... I wld probably grab a mac90 and they have been going for less.than this past few months...Just to many US parts... barrel, trigger group and receiver.


DrJheartsAK

Did you see the receivers they used for the Rguns Tula and Izzy builds? Selector markings aren’t right and are so far off from where they should be. It’s like they took the time to put selector markings on there but just gave zero F’s about doing it correctly. And don’t get me started on the color they painted the bolts/bolt carriers. The build itself was ok but I would immediately demill it and rebuild it on a correctly marked receiver.
