Yep, around a long time. Bought a C&P 
Big Bore kit from them back in the late'70's. Several local shops warned me I would probably get crappy parts because the price was low. Got NPR 92's which were same stuff the locals were selling for 50% more $. Shortly after that, JCW went bankrupt. They reorganized. Some months later, the  rest of my order arrived.
