Ordered a 16" post-ban A-3 kit from Model-1 on Thursday of last week. Did a phone in order. The guy took all my info and said it would take 3-4 days. Just called to get a tracking number, and they said they have no record whatsoever of the sale. DAMN!!! I was counting on it being here by now. Now I'll have to order, all over again. Screw them. I'll order from J&T instead. I thought I was saving 30 bucks. Now I'm just pissed!!

Long ago I picked up some parts from Model 1.  They were ALL government reject parts.

I will never deal with them again.

When you buy from Model 1, you get what you pay for - or less.

These guys set up at some local shows.  I avoid them like a bad disease.  Arrogant, rude employees at the shows were my first clue.  It went downhill from there.

J&T is fine as is Sherluck, IMHO.

I agree. The young lady from Sherluk at the last show sold me everything I needed, then when I was under my [self-imposed] dollar limit and went back for a few more small items, she gave me a very attractive discount. Good quality; good prices.

They'll get a lot more of my business.

I recently bought an Model one upper. It was an A2 had an A1 front post and had the wrong detent the post could move 1/8 turn with the detent engaged. The trigger was defective and wouldn't allow the safty to be placed on with the bolt back. It also required more windage than most.
I concur with the rudness complaints
I have never tried J+T, but maybe it's time I did. How is their lower parts kits?

I'm a repeat buyer at J&T can't say anthing better than that.

Complete rifle kit comes with extra indent and spring. They only use the best of best no Cu springs and Colt triggers.

edit: Oh yea, I forgot.  The lady who does customer service is an angel.  Gary the Armourer works the gun shows and learns what we expect and want.

I have a very similar experience, only it was with J&T.

I purchased a kit from J&T in January using phone order.  I asked that an email be sent to confirm the final credit card charge since the guy taking my order seemed to be in a hurry for some reason.

Three days later I had heard nothing so I called back to confirm the order had gone through and to get the final price.  They could not find my order.

This story has a little nicer ending though, because the guy was very nice and took my order again.  It shipped out probably that day and I got it in about 4 days ground shipping.  Unfortunately, I had asked for a post-ban M4 stock and received a CAR stock.  I emailed them asking how we could go about fixing this and was told someone would call me to work out the details.  Nobody called.

Oh well, all together not a good experience.  I am however very happy with the quality of the products I received.

I Dealt with Model 1 years ago. The guy I used to deal with is no longer with them.
He was the guy you needed to talk to.
He set me up.
My M-4 Type upper was all great quality stuff.
Insulated handguards and the little blue ejector thing was installed to help ejection and just little extras.  I see at shows now what they pass off as the same kit I bought and its a big quality change.
Mine had a chrome lined barrel to. I deal with Sherluk in person now.
