I bought mine at P&D in Edmonton, and they had some Pro Mag magazines there for around that 35 dollar range, vs the 80 bucks for the Beretta ones. Only downside to the ProMag ones is they don't have holes in the side of the mag to see how many rounds are in it. The spring isn't as stiff in the PRoMag ones, compared to the factory Beretta ones, which makes them easier to load.
TNW or jr carbine?

Beretta Storm.
5 colors is what i thought based from their website. But then ive come across this color aswell... which looks different, and by my definition, would describe as "dark earth"
But it sounds like "dark earth" is the tan color, and that is what i'll keep my eye out for on the market

I prefer the traditional look
I shot 200 rounds through the CX-4, trying to convince myself i needed it. Couldn't get around the chunky thick hand grip and fore end. I don't have monster meat hooks, so grip is important to me.
I borrowed my friends JRC 9mm zombie wacker to try it out and ran 100 rounds of hand loads through it, no troubles at all, easily upgradeable with AR parts, cheap KCI glock mags work superbly.
Ended up buying a used JRC and have since been shooting the hell out of it using various factory as well as hand loads with cast lead. First installation was the Take down tube, much nicer to hang onto, i'm not a vertical foregrip guy as it seems to get hung up while walking though the bush way too easily. I like the fact that it can be taken down and packed away in a small package.
It is surprisingly accurate for what it is, haven't had any failures at all and have passed 700 rounds in the last month.
With a 30 year old aimpoint it can hit moment of muskrat at 100 meters quite easily, moment of beaver out to 150!
It is easy to clean if you have any skills at all.

Hey love that......that is how I tend to shoot.
I saw the take down JRC and the fore grip has a thicker shroud than on the TNW which is nice for your hand I will admit. On the TNW you would be gripping the barrel directly. Not a fan of the vertical grips myself, but I tried one out on the TNW and it feels better than just gripping that short little stubby section.......really I think either or make a great fun little gun, and we can shoot them whenever and wherever we want just makes them that much sweeter.
^^^^ This.

Seems to be the case with almost all new guns released these days .
My JR took some tuning up to get it to work correctly but it was an early one .
No issues now but it would not be my first choice in a defense situation.
Did you just have to polish some parts or was there a different issue?

I had to do a little modification to the bolt face because JR can't send bolts to Canada .
Did the mod as per their instructions & they did send me some updated small parts free of charge .
They have the best customer support I have ever dealt with .
Too bad they didn't iron out the bugs before they released them.
Do you think the newer ones will have any problems?

Have to wait for someone with a new one to answer that
Serial numbers JR015000 TO JR016391 (Gen.1) are eligible for upgrades.From what I've heard if you have problems with these JR will replace with Gen.2 receiver no-charge.
