On Target

Bolt Carriers made by JP Rifles have been in very high demand over the last few months and this has led to some shortages in supply.  As many shooters know, JP Stainless Bolt Carriers are of very high quality and superior design.  They have increased bearing surfaces to improve stability and alignment within the upper receiver, plus they have a special surface finish that is very tough and very smooth.  This surface treatment turns the stainless to a matte black color and reduces wear and friction.  Their tactical carriers are good for military, law enforcement or self defense applications since they are full weight and have forward assist notches.  But the light weight carriers are great for maximizing controllability in fast paced shooting applications.  Right now due to high demand and some production delays, the light weight AR-10 bolt carriers will not be available until the late April 2009 time frame.  The AR-15 carriers are currently running about 3-4 weeks behind and this could get longer.  So if you are interested in one of these, be aware that you may need to wait a bit to get one.  With the high demand for AR rifles and parts across the nation, that is just the nature of the business at this point in time, especially for high end custom parts.  But if you do place an order for one of these earlier rather than later, it does put you in line for one as they start coming off the production line.  Plus, it allows the manufacturer to better plan production quantities.  So if you place an order for a backordered part now, you will get it a bit faster than if you wait until April or May to place your order.  Its just something we want our customers to be aware of as they plan their purchases.  Happy Shooting!
