Cannot get thru a 10 round clip w/o a jam, extraction failure, dented ammo, etc. Sent the upper back to Para: 5 to 8 weeks to diagnose. Plus God knows how long to repair. Mike at Para customer service won't return phone calls or e mails. My advise is STAY AWAY. Oh by the way...with 55 grain ammo, the kick is only reduced from an AR-15 by 20%.....our guess. The Weapons Mag's got this totally wrong. I am having the same problems as Lee. Cannot get thru a 10 round clip w/o a jam, extraction failure, dented ammo, etc.

I have one of these. I'm so furious I could break it into pieces. It jams, miss fire, hangs, missfeed, scratch and dent to the brass, you name it. This is a disappointing PARA TTR upper receiver.

One thing about the design is that it wouldn't be possible to use a full-auto lower receiver and have it fire on full-auto due to the chopped bolt carrier. Not that it would be a negative to the casual plinker. The thing that would worry me about this design is that little part which connects the recoil spring to the bolt carrier (in the video the person doing the narration called it a C-clamp). It's likely to get lost and if that little part isn't installed properly or works itself lose, bad things are probably going to happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fmY13xYUkc

I would miss that sound. ;) “The recoil spring is over the op-rod so there is no “twang” in your ear as your head rests on the rifle’s stock while the bolt cycles between shots.”

It's a Z-M Weapons LR300 NXL. Aldo Zitta invented it about 20 years ago and YHM was manufacturing them. I bought the upper only. Aldo sold the manufacturing equipment to Para and now they are making them with the new marketing spin. The rifle is nice and with a muzzle break the barrel does not move between shots. The design keeps the bolt a little cleaner too. The pricey part is the folding butt stock. That alone is about $350.00. The upper part that I purchased was around $1400.00 with BUIS. That's about the price range of a higher end Noveske. I have a skeleton stock for it since there is no buffer needed. I have one of them. It’s a Z-M Weapons LR300 NXL.

I would consider one in the $1500-1600 range, but for $2200, i can get 3 or 4 different custom built AR's in different calibers. They wont sell a whole lot of them if they keep the price that high.

Yankee Hill Machine was selling them for a number of years. Now YHM is NOT selling them, so i guess they either where not manufacturing them in the first place and where just distributing them, or something else happened. I wonder if they price is going to go up? That’s a ZM weapon systems rifle. Yankee Hill Machine was selling them for a number of years.
