J R Carbine 9mm

looks like for 115 gr 17 inch barrel is the way to go for sure. but at the same time it seems that ur only losing like 10-20 fps. which imo is minimal

That is great.
Without all the export paperwork and licensing we here about so often, it should be really cheap if made locally.

Won't be cheap. (Or as cheap as you think.) It will probably be quality and for Canadians. Pricing and market saturation South of the border will probably mean no exportation and smaller runs than most operations down there. Which means more money per head to pay for machining.

Still interesting, though. Any idea on when we can hear more, Deckard?
 
Will whoever intends to build the Canuck pistol caliber carbine please give us some info. I'm getting the shakes over here.

Sorry fir the extra post but what would be the velocity lost in a 18.5" or 19" barrel with the 9mm? I once read that the optimum barrel length for a 9mm carbine was 11" and you may(this I don't know for sure) actually lose velocity with even a 16" barrel with standard velocity 9mm. So would you not have to buy or reload your 9mm to +P pressure to gain and not lose velocity and energy?

While it is true 11" is the maximum benefit you get you don't lose that much with the longer barrel. Of the loads tested to date, the longer barrel, mine is 16", gives me on average about 150 - 200 fps gain over the same loadings in my 4.25 - 4.7 inch 9MM pistols using lead bullets. The gain is somewhat less for plated and FMJ. 124 gr lead truncated cone bullets that make 130 PF run 155ish out of the longer barreled gun.

Incidently to date the best accuracy I have achieved is with 124 gr LTC bullets. I haven't found a plated bullet load that shoots as well. Generally speaking and it is general, the 9MM favours a 124 gr bullet over either the 115 or 147 gr variety for accuracy. Somewhat gun dependent.

Take Care

So just got off the phone with Epps and was told the restricted version is going to be here in a couple weeks and then if they sell well with no issues they will be importi g the non restricteds as a special run. Obviously the non restricted will take time as it is a special production run but seems like things have already been worked out with EMF.

Now for the really exciting part, the price; he said under $900 and they have some aftermarket Glock mags for $25 a piece that they have tested and run perfectly.

Fingers crossed the Restricted sell well.... I think people are more interested in the Non-restricted version anyway... I know I am... I'd rather buy a true AR style with a Glock receiver if I was to own any 9mm restricted rifle...
