AbH's JR Carbine Build in 45 Acp

[harbl_the_cat]

I have 3 JR Carbines 9mm, 40 and 45. They were all bought used and the 45 had the stripped screw issue and sent it to Elwood Epps and they fixed it up for free. The only issue with the 45 I have is that it will only feed round nose plated or jacketed rounds and will not feed SWC or cast lead rounds reliably. Other than that they are a bit heavy but shoot great.

Will it feed cast bullets if they're powder coated or very hard?

I have tried cast round nose and although better still gets caught on the feed ramp and have not tried coated rounds but that may help.

Are your cast round nose bullets pretty hard?

[Elmer Fudd]

I'm not sure of the make of them as they were given to me by a shooter getting out of the sport and they were not labeled as to who or where they were made or if they were a home casting lot.

What I hated most was shredding the castle nut on the stock every time I wanted to take it down to clean it. Bad way to design a gun if you plan to clean it more than once every 2000 rounds.

You clean your guns?

This rifle platform scares me the most...
Back in the day I purchased it and had nothing but issues and ended in me almost being sent to the hospital. QC is not in this company's knowledge base.
I hope you have better luck in the future than I had with this in the past.
