JR Carbine who has one?

**Code13** · August 27th, 2013, 12:59 AM

So I am set on getting a JR carbine soon after a long and drawn out battle over what was better. A cmmg ar build, lone wolf lover glock mag build, and the ddles pulling teeth to get a lower build, or buy a sub 2k, jr c, or tnw. and even a 5.7 upper

So who has one, what have you done to it, do you like it and what would i need for it?
or even some opinion in to the matter.

Second link is my JRC. Up to 1700 rounds of fun. I added a third 33 round mag.
It is my SHTF go to gun.

Thank you guys and yes i have and i am still reading over them like a bible to see if there is anything i missed good to know. I am hoping all the new guys that got in to the firearms or got a jr can chime in on how they are to and what they like about them. Why they bought them. So why did Toxicodendron11 and priell3 decide to get a JR?

I wanted an AR type gun that was inexpensive to shoot but more powerful than 22LR which I already had. The JR got my attention and was affordable. The ability to customize it to my style with readily available accessories was another bonus. It is reliable, accurate and fun. Eats any ammo.

Run one suppressed, have probably 500 rounds through it with no problems. Very cool weapon! Would like to sbr it and have barrel chopped to 8".

I didn't read the two linked threads, so sorry if this has been covered elsewhere. but my local shop has had a ton of problems with the .45's, the 9's are supposed to be good.

It's cool I like to think this is an open thread where we can even make suggestions to improve some thing new. I would like to see pins put in over threaded screws and maybe a piston conversion, and internal buffer spring to put a folding stock on it.

I have the 9 version and love it. I have been having a great time shooting steel plates at 100 yards. I have been shooting nothing but reloads through it without issue. I started with lead rounds that were only like 4.5 grains of power pistol. It shoots the lead well. It shoots better with Hornady HAP's and a whole slew of jacketed and plated rounds fired. I likes more powder. I know it was better with 5 grains of PP but even those were soft. I need to load some heavier charges but these hare all been just regular target loads I had been using in Glocks, M9 and a shield. It shot and cycled every load I put in it.

As for the 45 a friend just picked up the 45 he is having issues FTF
