I picked up a Thureon Defense 9mm carbine 19" non restricted from the good folks at Arms East today, thanks to Walter and Steve.

Carbine came with 1 10 round pistol mag, cable lock, parts list, instructions. The carbine setup I bought came with 2 short and 1 long rails to attach to the free float hand guard for whatever you want to attach. There are other configurations being brought in, please call Steve or Walter for more details.

Initial impressions that this a well made rifle and not a toy, it certainly has some heft to it. Grip looks like a standard AR type, as is the trigger group and buffer tube. the buffer tube is commercial. One thing I noticed was no FH,but I think that really no big deal.

Disassembly is relatively simple, come apart in 6 pieces. Fit and finish for the firearm is really nice, no rough machining marks evident, very solid and well made.

Can't wait to get up to the range and try it out with a optic and I will post a range review.

Thats about the ugliest thing I have ever seen?

The handguard is too thin IMO. With that rail on it it is just terrible.

Any reason to buy this over the JR carbine? I think it looks tons better.

9mm AR mags?

And obviously price is gonna play a big role.
 
I still think Thureon needs to get their head out of their ass and stop cheaping out on the aesthetics. I've always been a function over form person but it's like they just got lazy. They put some design effort into the lower, and then the upper was just an after thought slapped on there.

Buy some corner rounding end mills for christ sake.
