JP/Wilson

[800mZero]

Guys I remember a thread a few months ago showing wilson being the supplier for JP rifle barrel blanks? Any help woild be great

I would suggest calling them and asking. Else, I can call 'my guy' there. I do know they sell them as their own.

I just purchased a JP barrel Kit. While I was on the phone with one of their reps, I asked and he did confirm that Wilson makes them to JP's specs.

Yes they get their barrels from wilson unfinished, then JP does all the hard work.

What does unfinished mean?

Yes, but it is Wilson Arms. Not to be confused with Wilson Combat.
Wilson Arms Company

Just in case anyone is making that assumption (I sure did).

Unfinished means the barrels are oversized and not completed. John Paul is serious about quality and making sure everything is done right the first time. I was told that is why they would much rather finish many of the parts themselves and put the parts together. You very very seldom here about a JP rifle that had to go back because of a problem.

The barrels are short chambered. JP sets head space and cuts and threads the muzzle for the break.

Did not know this, very cool info.


When someone says "Wilson" I think of Wilson Combat.

Thanks.
