Why?
because they jam!
On the JR I had failure to feed, failure to extract, failure to eject, failure to run into battery, out of battery discharge.
The TNW wasnt much better, brand new i shot 3 mags it jammed twice.
Did you try different types of ammo?
yep, federal, blazer, blazer brass, hornady
Did you buy the jr new or used?
new at wanstalls, and yah i did call the jr guys in new york and dealt with their dillusionnal madness till I gave up and sold it.
If you look around you'll see people complaining about the same issues among other things, or claiming it's the best thing since sliced bread...
Personally I decided to go with a Beretta CX4 for my 9mm carbine fix. Reliable, easy to maintain, and cool space-age styling all in one package. Of course it comes down to personal preference as well. If you want an AR style then I'd probably suggest a Thureon Defense Carbine over the TNW and JR, I haven't had a chance to play with one myself but from what I hear it's a pretty decent alternative.
tons have had problems, TONS
Hey thanks man. I never heard of the Thureon Defense Carbine. Thanks for the help, I think ill use that for my 9mm carbine fix lol.
thureon has had problems with firing pins, lots of issues with firing pins
Google thureon defense firing pin issue
I dont want to be a party pooper but Ive wanted a nice pcc for a long time and so far they are all sh!t, the storm seems ok but the sights are a real pain in the ass, stupid italians.
Then what the heck do I buy?
like i said save your money, get a rpal if you dont have one and buy an ar15 daniel defense mk18 or a black rain ordinance with an 8inch barrel, 556 with a nice muzzle device will shoot as soft as a 9mm
it simple you stop listening to the other do your homework and buy what ever you want , you will always find somebody that say they got trouble with something
if a guy comes on here and asks for an opinion before he makes a purchase its important to let him know exactly how youve experienced that firearm first hand.
I would have not made some stupid purchase decisions if people had helped me, instead of saying do your own research, which I did but still wound up with 2 firearms with issues up the wazoo.
Christiansen Arms = fantastic reviews everywhere, it was a complete piece of rotten racoon crap
JR carbine = reviews said oh the 9mm had issues in the past but new rifles are fantastic, WRONG, jammomatic!
Lots of reviews are biased, forum threads get removed, locked, and all you see are the shills.
just take an example the chiappa m1 carbine in 9mm , lot of guys say they got trouble mine has over a 1000 round shot throw it and the only thing i got once in a while it the last round faill to extract in the same mag and that the only isue i have ,
you might just be unlucky with some of your purchase .
on this forum you always heard first of the guys that had some trouble but never of the 99 other that dont have trouble with
