So, before any of you start harassing me, let me promise pictures later. ;-)

I wanted to take a few moments and post my experiences with my LRP-07 (.308 w/ 20" barrel and PRS stock). I've spent quite a bit of time lurking about, reading, learning, and for the past month, bringing my LRP-07 into an operational mode. First off, the ordering process and helpfulness of Ben at JP was amazing. The feedback and information from all of you here has been exceptional and very appreciated.

I ordered my rifle based solely on feedback from this forum, JP, and other reviews I read. Until I received my rifle, I'd only seen one of their 5.56 rifles in a store. When I received mine, I was immediately impressed with the build quality and it far exceeded my already high expectations.

I planned a break in process of 300 rounds, all M80 ball. I chose this ammo because of relatively inexpensive cost, it would create good brass for reloading, and it was something that I knew would provide a great mechanical break in. I followed a similar process for breaking in my 1911.

I followed a good cleaning regimen, and employees JP's recommended barrel break in throughout this process. During this process, I took the time to mount, re-mount, adjust, level and zeroed my scope (Bushy HDMR H59); installed and zeroed a JPoint dot site at the 10:30 offset (I'm a lefty); mounted and remounted and adjusted an Atlas bipod, and fidgeted around with a few more things like a VTac sling. One of the biggest challenges was getting my adjustable gas block set, this was partially due to my stupidity and the guys at JP patiently helped me extract my head from my rectum.

I just took the loctite to all of the screws I didn't want loosening up and gave the gun a detailed cleaning and inspection. During the process of the 300 rounds this not only let me really tweak all of the little adjustments, but the mechanics really have smoothed out nicely and it feels and shoots even better.

My next step is to take some steel out to my 600M range along with my next batch of ammo, a bunch of 168 gr. SMK HPBT, and see what she can really do. This will be done on Sunday and I'll start a sick paint job I have planned. Expect some range pictures on Sunday, and I'll be sure to post before and after painting pictures.

Thanks again for all of the help and feedback thus far. Feel free to ask any questions, my opinion is always worth what I charge... nothing. ;-)
 
I for one cannot wait to see pictures and hear how good it shot. You are absolutley right about BEN @ JP, he was the man I dealt with when I bought my LRP-07 last year. Ben was not only extremely polite and very helpful but he went way beyond to take care of my needs. I must have called 4-5 times after I placed my order to make changes and add something and every single time Ben seemed even happy to do it, what a concept make your customers feel good about buying your product. My experience with JP Enterprise was one that will have me going back to them for the rest of my life, now that is how you run a company. Have fun and enjoy that stick. Oh I almost forgot, even after I got my rifle when I called Ben for help or had a question, he again was more than happy to help and did.

I have encountered the exact same experience with my dealings with JP customer service. I will continue to go back!

Same experience here too. Great purchasing experience.
 
Couldnt agree more with the previous statements. Will be a lifetime JP customer as a direct result of the stellar products and the above and beyond customer service experiences. Ben is truly a great guy to deal with.
