    I´m not sure if I agree OA Black Label is necessarily the best bang for the buck.

    I like what I get with a Black Label. but the €1380 becomes 15900kr @ the store... And if You want to upgrade it (trigger etc) You are quickly moving toward 20000kr.

    The JP-AR15 (not the CTR-02) starts at 23000kr (gprifle) and then You can specify alot right from the start.

    I´m no AR15-authority but for me the JP name weigh more than the Oberland Arms. And €1380 was a nice price but 15900kr is a bit steep.

    Not being a fanboy, just thinking out loud.

    Hard to beat Colt quality if you can find it. Especially in comparison with your other choices. I only have experience with the LE models (6920/40) though.

    Of course, and I'm not an Oberland fanboy either - I was just giving you my thoughts on the subject based on your original premise that you wanted a rifle that looked as "original" as possible (ie not an "spaced-out-racegun"); which the JP-15 most definitely does not.

    Regarding the price; 15900 kr is the €1380 plus MOMS (Swedish sales tax: 25%). If you have your own company and you can do the tax write-off you'll get pretty much the same price here too.

    Do note that unless Gustav has a JP-15 in the exact configuration you want, you may not get it at the price listed (since some upgrades come with a price tag - just check JP's Order Form) or you will have to wait until he gets one delivered.

    That said; the JP-15 is a very good competition rifle and I think Gustav has an attitude towards his business that is often lacking with others (just the fact that he ordered 30+ rifles with his first order when most dealers here will settle for the bare minimum).

    However, if you truly want a "service rifle" then go with Magic_Salad and turdbocharged's advice and get a Colt (which I suspect may be the same price as the JP once it get's here).

    I´m not saying nothing on my gun may be race-looking

    That said the plain vanilla JP-15 is a standard AR15 lower/upper, only thing race-looking on it is the handguards and after seing them in real life I dont like the looks but they felt very nice. And if whatnot I can just sell them

    The CTR-02 and the side carging uppers I dont like, though they no doubt are good guns and will shoot great. Not just for me.

    Colt will work, if anyone sells them.

    So then you need to get a new barrel nut, a delta-assembly, a front sight assembly/gas block, and a handguard cap. Hopefully the barrel profile will work with these parts, not being mil spec and all... Also, hopefully the gas block is longer than the standard front sight/gas block, so there will be no issues with not enough clearance for the handguard cap.
