Dear FTF Members,

Forum member Glasshartt asked whether Just Right Carbines would offer an FTF member discount on purchases at our online store. We considered his suggestion and I am happy to announce that FTF members who purchase a JR Carbine, Combo Kit, or Caliber Conversion Kit through us online will now receive a 5-percent discount on those items. Just enter coupon code FTFMember at checkout and your discount will automatically be deducted from your total.

Many thanks to Glasshartt for the suggestion.

Best regards,

Miranda

Sounds good. But Glass is of the female persuasion. That, or the only dude I ever heard of with a pink AR.

Oooooh - MY BAD!!!.......Sorry Glasshartt I don't like it when that happens to me (a frequent occurrence in phone conversations despite my feminine first name), and I especially hate doing it to anyone else, too.

Thank you for your generous offer to our members Miranda.

When do you plan to bring one out in 10mm?

Hi Freefall,

We regularly receive inquiries asking when we will offer the JR Carbine in 10mm, .357 Sig, etc. I have copied the response we posted on our website's FAQ page below. It applies equally to all of the higher powered pistol cartridges. I hope this answers your question.

Thank you for your interest in Just Right Carbines.

Best regards,

Miranda


Q: When will you offer the JR Carbine in 10mm?
A: The JR Carbine is a direct-blowback design. The bolt is entirely inertial and does not 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 the JR Carbine's bolt down the bolt in the JR Carbine it has 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 (37,500 psi) 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. Using a significantly denser material for the buffer - like tungsten, for example - might accommodate the higher power of the 10mm, 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 (or other high power cartridges such as .357 Sig, .40 Super, or .460 Rowland, for example).

Thanks for your prompt reply. I guess I'll just keep longing.

Not a problem Miranda, I'm used to it.


I just placed an order today. 9mm with a 45 acp Glock conversion kit. Can't wait 'til it gets here!

Hi Glasshartt,

Thank you for choosing a JR Carbine. Just let us know who your FFL is (if you haven't already) and have them fax or email a copy of their license to us and we'll get it out to you right away.

FYI - since I am told you have a pink AR, you might find interesting a new custom coating we are prototyping. It is a pink-based camo pattern called "Muddy Girl". You can find images of the design if you do a google search.

We are expecting our first 20 prototypes back in about 10-15 days. Once we have some pics I will post them on our web site. We understand from our coating vendor (who coats a lot of firearms for different manufacturers as well as individuals) it is becoming very popular. I have seen it on a display panel but not on a gun yet, but so far I think it has a lot of appeal.

Thanks again for suggesting the member discount. It was a great idea.

Best regards,

Miranda
