| okay i've been hearing a lot of crap AND good things about M1S and only good things about Del-Ton and J&T...now i want to know which one has the best quality of the three...vote above. thanks! |

I like J&T the best out of the companies you have listed. They have added a ton of new stuff in their new catalog plus they have some Colt parts (which I like) M1S sells Chicom crap......."buyer beware" I have never purchased anything from Delton so I can;t comment on them. |
| I got an upper from J&T. The rear sight wiggled a bit. I called them and they said ship it to them, they'd ship it back fixed. Took only four days. Excellent service and no charge for it. Top notch crew. I've bought about 6 uppers/kits from them in three years. Highly recommended. I've bought one M1 and had no problems with it. However, they never once notified me that the kit was on its way. I called and asked where it was, they said on its way. Showed up two days later. |

Well, here is something bad about J&T for you then. I ordered one of their kits and the barrel rusted around the FSB! The finish was too thin or something because it was not abused and never got wet. It was nasty rust that build up fast. The bolt carrier they sent me was roughly machined and had lined and dimples all over it and the key screws came loose even though they were staked on. When I retightened them they went far past the original stakings so that means it was staked on when the screws were finger tight. The FSB was also severely canted to the left in relationship to the upper. I have also ordered several things from Bushmaster and M&A and RRA and beleive it or not the carrier assembly from RRA and M&A both look tons better than the J&T and Bushy. Both the M&A and RRA carriers are chrome lined and enhanced with a shrouded fireing pin and a longer M16 like rear area. Everyone says J&T are the gods of the kit world but I have gotten shit from them too. Their customer service is good though however everyone is usually if you are not an asshat to them. My 2 pennies. |
