New Purchase - Just Right 9mm Carbine

[IndyBeerman]

Well after seeing a thread last week in a post about the Just Right Carbine, I decided to abandon my carbine project of purchasing a MechTech CCU upper and a Glock 22 and using the frame from the G22 with the MechTech because after some thought with the way used prices on Glocks are, and the cost of getting the CCU the way I wanted, it was going to run over 900.00.

That was a price I was not wanting to shell out.

Sooooo....

Today I stopped in Bradis and pick up a newly shipped in (Thanks Shooter521) Just Right Carbine in 9mm, with the intention of buying the .40 conversion kit for it later.

I'm planning on equipping this with a holo sight and later on a 3-9x30 for some farther (100 yard) plinking and also planning on getting a different grip for it.

Hopefully a full AAR will follow if I can get out and shoot this for function and fun either Sat or Sunday morning before the Super Bowl.

But for the mean time here's a small sampling of pics (sorry about the quality).

I am looking forward to your report after you get a chance to shoot it. This looks like a smart package.

Whats the price of this thing? Im interested

Mine is in the shop right now because it was having trouble going fully into battery. I suspect the chamber is a little short or maybe a little oval shaped, so any crud at all is a problem.

Aside from that (which I expect will be fixed soon), I really like mine. It shoots really nicely and I can get good groups with iron sights (Magpul MBUS) at 25 yards offhand without trouble.

You will like this gun.

Ultimately, I think these carbines might be ideal for going the SBR paperwork route, adding a supressor, and making it a really nice home defense weapon. This is especially so for people who already shoot a G-Lock in the same caliber.

Same here if it's anywhere reasonable.

Hope it gets fixed soon for you Rhino, I've seen a couple of things on the interwebz but nothing really disappointing with any reviews about it.

How long have you had it, and how many rounds has it ate?

Besides outfitting it with a holo sight and maybe something a little stronger to tackle 2 liters at long range, I'm really thinking of getting the barrel threaded and getting a suppressor for it.

I'm also thinking of throwing a Magpul angled forward grip and maybe a Hogue overmolded rubber grip if it will fit. Along with them, I have a spare sling that I no longer use for my AR since I went with a single point, so I have the pic rail sling mount I can throw on there with the old sling if I decided I want to trudge around in the woods with it.

Trick it out a little.

Have you thought about any of the conversions for it?

I'm leaning towards getting the .40 cal if I like this as much as I think I am.

Just because Google lists it, does not mean that is the price.

If you click the links you'll see that the cheapest of the 3 is 599.00, and it is out of stock and you'll have to pay pay additional FFL fee's.

On most occasions it's just better to support your local GS.

That thing is begging for a Primary Arms Micro. . . .

Will it accept a Magpul grip and stock?

My records say 402 rounds. I think that's pretty close to it, although I may have missed a day when G-Man and I fired quite a few 33-rd mags through it.

Have you thought about any of the conversions for it?

I was unaware of caliber conversion! They don't really interest me, though. This project is about shooting less expensive factory ammo and having reasonably similar controls and feel to my AR. I also like that it will use the same mags as my Glock 9mms.

If it runs well after the chamber gets sorted out, I'm probably going to shoot the crap out of it for a while, then think about doing the SBR thing with a can on the end.

It should. The grip and stock/buffer tube are AR parts.

The only accessories mine has are Magpul MBUS sights and a quick release Tango Down short fore grip that I got for $50.

I only stumbled across the conversion after going to the JR website to look it over. I'm only thinking of the .40 conversion because I'm thinking of just how fast I could push a 135gr .40 cal out of it.

You know pics will be required!

This could get interesting!

I think after we get these tricked out, we need to grab some gangster style hats strike a pose and take a classic pic.

Eat your heart out Kirk!

Well because of where my buddy lives and it being wet it was a no-go for being able to shoot today. So I may look into either heading to maybe Indy Trading Posts new indoor range or hope for better weather next weekend because tomorrow is out of the question. I got a Super Bowl party to attend and help out with tomorrow!

So I dug through the safe/closet area today and found an old Sight Mark Holo that I may have fixed it's intermittent on/off problem (won't know until I get recoil on it) and attached it, along with my old pic rail sling mount and my 3 way sling that I'm not real fond of and it's looking like this for the moment.

(crappy cell pic, lighting was bad)

Even though I like this foregrip, I've grown attached to my multiple angle grip I have on my AR. Still going to buy the Magpul AFG and check it out.

JR sells a threaded barrel for $95.00.

I have one and have a problem with it going into battery also. I found that the extractor was cutt too deep in the bolt and hitting the case end instead of sliding over it. I still need to send mine in. I only have about 15 rounds down her....

Was yours stopping just short of going fully into battery? That's how mine was. You couldn't tell if you didn't look really closely. It was out just enough for the firing pin to not hit the primer (or not move at all).

Guys you're giving me an uneasy feeling, I'm hoping that if I can get out and shake it down this weekend that there will be no problem.

Meanwhile, she's strutting the new Magpul AFG2 and a NC Star Holo, really like that AFG2, has a great feel to it. Also the NC Star is about 5 times brighter than the SiteMark that I had bought real cheap.

I wish they had a M&P mag version. I still like it. It just cries out to be a SBR w/suppressor though.

 

[andfc]

I'm interested to hear how you like it. I've been thinking of an pistol-caliber carbine instead of an AR, since I'd be able to actually shoot it in at ranges in Indianapolis.

Without having actually seen any in person, I am kind of drawn to the Thureon Defense carbine Thureon Defense Model GA in 9 MM Semi Rifle New in Box [GA] - $789.00 : Arizona Firearms - Online Gun Store - AZFirearms.com more than the Just Right, although the price is a bit too close to a decent AR to take seriously.

 

[Dwight D]

I sure hope these turn out to be decent rifles. I like the look and feel and actually found a used one at a local shop, was looking it over considering it but it obviously had some problems. The whole bolt assembly was so tight, it was bound up somehow. Not just a lube issue, this sucker was so tight I wonder if it had ever worked right. Made me wonder if that was the reason it was back up for sale again. Kinda sittin on the fence now to see how these little carbines pan out.

 

[smythe012]

I just picked up one of these last week as well. Having a 9mm carbine that takes the same mags as my G17 was too tempting, and I haven't had the best with Keltec. I'm planning on shoveling some rounds through it in the next few days, I'll let you know how it goes.

If all goes according to plan then this is definitely going the SBR/ suppressor route.
