So the wife and I were in Wholesale Sports to look at some shotguns when we got distracted by the Tavor and Just Right Carbine 9mm non restricted http://frontierfirearms.ca/just-right-carbine-9mm-non-restricted.html. I was wondering if anyone has one and what they think of it. My wife and I are new to firearms and recently tried handguns for the first time. She didn't like them too much and I was thinking that this might be more comfortable for her. Its not the recoil or anything as she had fun with the 12g shotgun with slugs. More that she prefers rifles to handguns. I like the idea that it's customizable with a good selection of AR15 accessories. Just looking for others input on the rifle.
 
Guess i missed it, thank you for pointing it out. Funny thing is when I searched for Just Right Carbine i got nothing, apparently i was using the wrong Term and should have been using JR Carbine.
 
Lol....yeah the search feature I noticed is a bit finicky. Hopefully you find all the info you are looking for in that thread.
 
Pistol chambered carbines a lot of fun to shoot.

I know you posted here asking about the JR carbine, but I'd urge you both to look at the Beretta CX4 Storm and Kel Tec Sub2000 as well. Cheap (ish) ammo in 9mm, low recoil, light, can be easily accessorized, they really make for great guns in my opinion.
 
Do your research extensively on this rifle! lots and lots of issues! I had one, learned how to go around the issues, couldnt get over how frustrating this rifle was, then I sold it.

I thought the 9mm version was trouble free?
The other 2 calibre versions have been troublesome as far as I've read.
 
I have the 9mm and I've had absolutely no issues with feeding, firing or ejecting.
It is a little ammo sensitive but only in that it does not like ammo that is loaded "long" (reloads).
I assume it must have a short throat (kinda like CZ pistols are known for) and this can cause a live round to stick in the chamber. Once I tightened that up a couple thou I have had zero problems and factory ammo ran fine.
 
Huge headache to get my .45 JRC running well...luckily received excellent support from the manufacturer. Now that it's running well, it's such a nice, soft-shooting and very accurate carbine. Strange how some of them work well right out of the box, and the ones that need tweaking don't even all need the exact same fix as the other...even within the same caliber.

x2 mine shoots everything I load. I have the Glock 17 gen 3 It's a blast to have the carbine and pistol with the same mag. I put a Bushnell 2x Red dot and I can hit metal plates at 100 yds all day. A little lock tight in the bolt handle fixed some issues
 
lol, nope I have had problems feeding, problems ejecting and problems firing with a stuck live round in there with my 9mm JR

Edit post: My JR is a 9mm

I've had a JR for over 2 years, approximately 2,500 rounds through it, both factory and reloads. Not one single Fail-to-Fire or Fail-to-Eject. Cheap to shoot (stock up on Factory Ammo during the odd "sale" then keep the cases, usually Winchester, Remington or S&B for reloading), I reload to 124 grain plated with TiteGroup. Tried Unique, it's a slow burn powder and tends to get the receiver pretty dirty very quickly. The Titegroup is better for clean burning.

Biggest beef? It's a real pain to take down and clean the first couple of times until you figure out the process - then the pain is bearable and the rifle can be cleaned barrel/bolt/action in maybe 15 minutes. I usually only give it a good cleaning every 2nd or 3rd time out with it, around 300 rds or so.

I tried Titegroup under a 125gr bullet from 4.0-4.4 grains.
4gr seemed to be the tightest group while 4.4 starting blowing out primers.
I plan to test a batch starting at 4 and working down to 3.5.
