I dont currently own a JR carbine. The reason being I think they look quite ugly. Something about the shape of the gun throws me off. However, at the same time, to get a rifle that takes AR furniture, looks *somewhat* close to an AR, and is unrestricted in a cheap pistol caliber is awesome. So I got to thinking, and wanted to figure out for myself why the gun - in my opinion - looks so ugly. After much staring, I think ive narrowed it down to the stock. Something about the tubular AR stock tube on the blocky upper/lower looks wrong. Which led me to thinking about the ACR stock. So ive done a little photoshop mockup with an ACR stock (and also an ergogrip, and longer quadrail). I think it looks pretty amazing, the angles on the ACR stock even tie into the glock mag angle (which was another look killer). I am considering designing and manufacturing an ACR stock adapter. If anyone has a JR that they want to measure up for me (accurately) the rear of the upper and lower receiver, I can start mocking one up in my CAD software.

You may not agree, but I think this is a pretty epic looking gun, combining the looks of an AR with an ACR, along with the advantage of a cheap caliber and no restrictions.

Aesthetics... I'll be posting by mid-next week; I received notice that my barrel has been sent back to me. First notice was Friday, then I got an updated notice for Monday :(.

At any rate, I've never seen a JR Carbine which will look like how mine is going to look. I'm getting excited.

Stay tuned.

Short barrel? There was a post about one of the dealers potentially offering a short barreled JR.
 
A longer quad-rail is without a doubt the best thing you can add.

The Canadian barrel is just way too long for the rest of the gun.

What about an ACE Skeleton stock?

That would look nice.

I had the same idea, but the ACE gas tube is not as compatible with the JR as the m4 stocks gas tube is .
The M4 stock gas tubes have a castle nut , this make removing the stock easy.
( you need to remove the stock to get at the bolt )
The ACE gas tube did not have a castle nut , and is more difficult to remove and replace.
If anyone has a good idea on how to install an ACE skeleton I am interested in hearing about it?
 
i didnt know it took ar floating rails. that looks very nice. an a2 buttstock with that config would look amazing.
