I just thought I would share my new rifle and the fun I had this morning at the range. First off thank you SFRC for the fast and great interaction for supplying me with my new JR Carbine. From the time your received payment until it was in my hands it was 5 days. From Ontario to BC, thats pretty good service.

So before heading in for another exciting nightshift I decided to get my ass out of bed early and head to the range. Took my fine shiny new rifle with its nice new optic and 300 rounds and off I went.

Took five minutes and 15 rounds to dial in the red dot and I have to say, this Lucid HD7 friggin rocks.

The rifle:
Standard out of the box JR CArbine 40 Cal 18 inch barrel (Non-restricted)
Drilled out that stupid pin in the stock to make it adjustable.
I loaded up all my G22 mags and decimated some paper. I was absolutely blown away at the accuracy of this rifle, and putting 10 rounds within a quarter size hole at 30 yards was easy from an unsupported position.

Rapid fire the rifle is easy to control and double taps easy and accurate. I unloaded three 10 round mags as fast as I could pull the trigger and at 30 yards all the rounds were within 5-6 inches within 3 seconds per mag.

I ran this rifle hard today, putting 300 rounds through it and had 3 fail to fires, and that was likely crappy Winchester 180 Gr white box ammo. I had zero FTF or FTE and running the rounds as fast as I could through the rifle it ate everything up.

I also found out that it will fire a chambered round without a mag in it.

I have to say I am extremely happy with this rifle and cant wait to go hiking and have some fun.

My only knock on this rifle is the fact it doesnt lock back on the last round...but I can just suck it up I suppose.

The Lucid HD7 optic is a multi reticle red dot and is by far the best red dot I have ever used on a rifle. Easy to zero, and bang on and easy to use.

Next week I plan on heading out and doing some long range stuff to see how the Lucid does its job, and with all the reviews I've seen it should continue to kick ass.

Now I just have to order in some accessories for it to fully trick it out.

This package cost just a little over $1300.00 taxes and shipping. For a non-restricted rifle, I think that pretty damn good.

This rifle may not be everyones cup of tea, but after today, it is a great fun and accurate rifle.

a little eye candy, but nothing too cool yet.

I handled one of these and it felt sturdy but looked strange to me. Your pics have me changing my mind, that looks great. I forgot it was NR too. Really nice carbine man!
 
I don't think you can go wrong with a JRC being NR and all. I can imagine how nice it would be to take one of these out in a field..
 
Great review. Thanks.

Not trying to nit pick but doesn't it have at least an 18.5" barrel since it is a semi-auto (you mentioned 18")?

Too bad it doesn't come with a longer front handguard.
 
I was looking at the JR's but after handling it, there was just something that didn't feel "right" to me. so I put it down and bought a SUB2000 instead.
 
This review is encouraging considering some of the negative things I have read about the 40 and 45 versions. I am on the waitlist at half a dozen places for the 45 version that takes 1911 mags. I only hope I get it before my visit to the gopher fields of alberta in august!
 
Nice write up.

Im on the fence for one of these in .40 SW to match my Glock, or a Ruger SR-22.


Matching this rifle, with a Glock, witht he same ammo, lots of mags, and say a plate carrier, is a win-win combo in my books.

That's petty much what pushed me towards the 40 cal. I have a G22 and already reload for 40, so can't go wrong. Just picked up another 5 G22 mags. Just looking to get a sling attachment, sling, rail covers and change out the grip. Down the road I'll maybe pick up a longer railed forend and a barrel shroud to give it the real bull barrel look. So far very happy with it.
