JR Carbine Second Generation?

[cbabes]

I recently purchased a JR Carbine from Epps that I haven't received yet. I just read on the US forums that the first generation had extraction problems and a second generation was made. From seeing some of the videos posted on CGN in which there weren't any extraction issues I presume the second gen. are in Canada. Anyone know if the ones Epps are selling right now are second gen.?

TIA

I don't think there is actually 2 seperate generations, but more like production runs. The very first batch had some issues, as noted in a couple infamous youtube videos, but the after that all the problems seemed to be ironed out.

Similar situation with lots of guns, and just a matter of getting over the initial hurdles in the production, and QC.

Rem 597 VTR - extractor issues
Sig Mosquito - cycling and feeding issues
Ruger SR9 - firing when dropped
S&W MP9 - mags dropping when fired

They eventually fix the issues, but not necessarily an official next generations.

I believe the changes were only in the bolt and the extractor if any.

I could be wrong but this is how I understand it.

As far as the guns EPPS has, since they are special made for our barrel restrictions, I can only assume they were made much further down the line than the first few batches.

Just rolled over the 200 round mark with mine and only had one stovepipe but it was with a kci mag so some of it could be the mag as the glock has been flawless. It is a fun little plinker and have been smoking the few gophers that are out with it.

I just checked Epps and yes they are gone from the website.

When I got mine Epps said the fifty they got sold right away.

I am putting together a range report.

sorry to hijack but are all these restricted? I thought they were but I saw one on the EE that said it was NonR.

I should have grabbed one while I was there. I was looking around for something to buy and the guy stuck one in my hand, looked like fun but I hadn't heard of them at the time so I passed

What were they going for? Hope they get more and I don't mind the wait I need a few reloading bits and then in the fall a 9 mm or better yet a 40 carbine would be cool!
