I wonder if the Slide Fire stock would work on that thing?

How do you like the JR Carbine? Trying to find out what versions are available. Cannot locate their website.

I think the manufacturer is EMF from New York. I was on their website yesterday and you have to look on the left side for the JR carbine because they make a bunch of old revolvers too. I can't link it from work for you sorry.

I like the concept, but they're only doing three of the five calibers that Glock makes. If they made a 10mm version, I would be all over it. Think 155gr JHP at 2000+ fps.

Which do you prefer, the S2k or the JRC and why?

I like the JRC better. I like the weight of it and the fact I can accessorize it. From what I can tell they both have the same accuracy.

Thanks for the answer. I think that the JRC looks better.

One more Q: do you think that price difference is worth the "weight and accessories" difference.

These do look pretty cool and that they take Glock magazines is a plus.

How do they compare to the Hi-Point Carbines other than being twice the cost?

There are a few accessories available for the Sub2K, and if you put all of the bling available from KT, it would still cost less than the JRC. I'd get the JRC's .45 ACP version, as KT doesn't have one.

Hi Jim.

Our carbine is a straight-blowback design. The bolt is entirely inertial and doesn't lock when in battery, and the barrel breech does not depress upon firing, so there is no mechanical action to absorb some of the recoil energy as there is in the 1911 or Glock, for example.

When the gun is fired the bolt's mass is not enough by itself to sufficiently slow the bolt's recoil, even when using the standard AR-15 aluminum buffer with its own internal sliding weights. In order to adequately slow down the bolt in the JR Carbine we developed a solid steel buffer to augment the mass of the bolt. Our buffer is significantly heavier than the standard AR-15 aluminum buffer, and is sufficient for the energies developed by the 9mm, 40S&W. and 45ACP.

Unfortunately, the full power 10mm generates too much energy for us to accommodate through increased buffer mass within the limited confines of the buffer tube and still permit sufficient fore-and-aft bolt travel for the gun to function. We might be able to accomplish this by using some significantly denser material for the buffer - like tungsten, for example - but it would be cost prohibitive. Using reduced power 10mm cartridges might work, but then the performance would be much like the 40S&W and the advantage of the 10mm would be lost. For these reasons we do not plan to offer the JR Carbine in 10mm.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks,

Miranda

Please call us toll free at 1-877-778-8452 so we can make whatever arrangements are necessary. We'll need the serial number of your carbine when you call. You can speak with either me or our General Manager, Dave White.
