JR Carbine: To Buy or not to buy!?

I am only interested in this because I want a nr for blasting in the backyard but can't afford the rob arms! If I can get an inch or so at 50 yds and it goes bang every time you pull the trigger it will serve its purpose.

@ 50 yards you should be able to do clovers . My 9mm will do clovers @ 75 yrds . I bought mine cause of my G17 , didn't have to buy any other special mags .
 
That gun is useless past 100 yards, 9mm pistol round is not an ideal round for 200yards, I'm sure you can hit your target fine that far but I like too hunt too and don't trust that round to kill a predator humainly that far
 
Waiting for my new PAL/RPAL, then I am going for a JR in 9mm. Cheap to shoot, no ATT required, cool as all hell, can dress it up like an AR, and when I decide to get a handgun, I go for a Glock 17, same mags, same ammo, just in case the SHTF.

V.A.
 
I have a JR Carbine in .40. Initially, I wasn't impressed. FTF, FTE, on every magazine, throwing debris into my face :mad:

Tore it down again and cleaned it, especially the feed ramp. This thing gets really dirty, fast. Switched to light coatings of Frog Lube - now it's perfect. Functions fine with Winchester and Federal 40 S&W ammo.

My Thureon Defense carbine is another story. Although it functions fine, it will not feed the top round of a 10rd Glock mag with a closed bolt (proper way) or an open bolt :mad: Have to run a 9rd mag for it to function perfectly. I think this is a result of the mags pinned too tight compared to one pinned to 10.5 or the spring is too tight??? Anyway, I think it's the magazine.

To summarize, JRC is pretty damned good in my opinion when you keep them clean and lube them properly.
