I am considering buying a 16" M4 style upper minus bolt carrier and charging handle for $235. My question is how is their quality? Track record? I ran a google search but only found one review (which was positive). Price seems great. Anyone have any info/experience?

I bought one of their uppers with a free float quad rail hand guard and BCG for $350 about a year ago, and it's been an absolute blast. No problems whatsoever. You can't beat the value. I already have three AR's in 5.56 so I don't need another, but I do want a 14.5" w/perm FH upper to add to my collection, and I'm hoping JSE offers the same deal except in the 14.5" version, hopefully .... JSE is GTG. |

I've been thinking of one also. I like the gas block, but not being chrome lined is what's holding me back. I would say save your money and buy a better upper. Aim surplus usually has Spikes LE uppers complete for $479.95 shipped. They sell out fast, so you have to keep checking.

I have 2. I bought the uppers with BCG and charging handle. The one I bought for my dad has a few hundred rounds through it and it is shooting sub 1" at 100 yards. The other one I used for my "dissapator" knock off but I haven't shot it yet, just finished painting it up tonight.

| I am rather new here. But I just purchased a JSE upper, it came with a 4 rail gas block, not the single like it the picture, and a DPMS bcg (they had complete ones up until last week), with MOE handguards for 368. Seems like a good shooter. Super fast shipping. A week later my dad purchased an entire M4 style AR from them for 545 dollars. It was a mix of YHM, RRA and Del-Ton. Seems like a nice rifle for the money. |

I bought a barrel with a gas block from them. They did not include the gas block. I called them and asked about it. They basically said "tough!'
As far as I am concerned, I bought something from them they refused to give me. I think they are a bunch of crooks. Save your money and buy from a reputable company.Do not buy from JSE. |

My Delton barrel assembly is in transit right now from JSE. (1st order) This post peaked my curiosity. |

All reports have indicated that when the customer called JSE to inform them of the oversight, JSE refused to send the missing parts out. All the reports of this I have read where concerning Del-Ton kits. |

Got the upper on Xmas eve. It is definitely good to go fellas! Shot her yesterday and she shoots very nice @ 100. Seems to like 62 grain fmj. It has been slightly modified by me now, nothing major––

The fella next to me that day went through a couple hundred rounds of AE. I never seen him dick'n with his rifle at all. Sometimes smaller shops building rifles pay more attention to lining up gas blocks/ports and other small details. Some actually take pride in their work. |
