How old is SN JT 004228? Is this from the gen 2 production that had issues?

Thanks,

Mine is a JS0354XX that was born in June of 2009, if that helps. I believe this run had issues based on comments here, but my 556 has been a perfect machine with 0 issues through 1,400 rounds.

I believe the ones that had issues were JS 22xxx to JS 30xxx and a few early JT serial numbers. Others, please chime in if I'm wrong. Check SigOhio's thead "Check your 556 for wear/damage to the carrier." It lists specific serial numbers.

The last SN reported with bolt ssues is JT001200 range, so this one looks to be around 3000 newer.

If I win the auction, maybe I'll report back no problems, maybe I'll be adding another SN to the bottom of the list of known issues ...

THanks for the lead.

Mine is JS 028xxx and I have zero issues or problems.

There's a used SWAT model at my local Gander Mnt. for $1499. It is SN JT 0077 XXXX range and the bolt carrier is the newer light colored finish. It appears the carrier has a bevel to it that looks factory machined in the area where people had contact. The stock tube is plastic with a MAGPUL CTR and a weird looking sling attach plate. The quad rail has the hook on the right rear to catch a floding stock but this gun doesn't have a folding stock. I'm guessing this gun is a modified ER with a quad rail and stock added. No rear sight but a hooded front installed. I am a little leery about messing with a used gun that doesn't seem original. What do you guys think?

Low 30k JS30xxxER here with zero issues after 3000+ rds! Zero canted rail, same for carrier peening, had a bit of excessive upper/lower wobble beginning at around 1500rds but Zurich Wedge corrected and included improved accuracy. Shoots MOA with Leupold VX-R 1.1-4 on a GG&G mount benched with Lake City 62gr M855 ball believe it or not, with repeatibility,

There's a used SWAT model at my local Gander Mnt. for $1499....I am a little leery about messing with a used gun that doesn't seem original. What do you guys think?

I believe the Gander gunsmith checks out the used firearms they buy and Sig will fix their products...and can send them back through Gander as Gander is a Sig retailer....so buying a that used firearm would be about as low risk as buying a used one can be.

I don't know if that's a good deal on the rifle or not, but for me, I prefer the longer gas systems, no matter what weapon it's on, and this is the longer one....
