Now That's What I'm Talking About...
The carbine designed for me.
New ARish patterned .45ACP Carbine that takes 1911 mags. Only out a month. It's not perfect, but it may be close enough. It can even be converted to throw brass to the left for me.
Gotta ask the Cooper question; "What is it for?" Seems a bit long and heavy to launch 230-grain pistol bullets. I have a shorter piece that takes 1911 magazines - it's a 1911. Given the additional money, space and weight required, wouldn't 1911 mags and ammo be a better investment?
Oh, you want the Thompson Mags, because you can shoot more Zombies before you have to reload. Fire 7, drop it, fire 7, drop it, fire 7 drop it, gets BOOOORRRRRIIINNNG!
Oh, wait a minute, I forgot. You live in Maryland. Never mind.
I would like to note that my .40 cal carbine is kick ass at 100 yards. There is no way I could tap a ten inch gong every time with the matching handgun.
BTW, you can hunt with that in VA, but not a .223.
The HiPoint Arm's Carbine in .45ACP is doing fairly well as are the newer 9x19 one's. If they just weren't so ugly I could find better to say about them.
The JR Carbine look's a little better but I haven't any experence with one. The fact it uses's a 1911 or G21 mag is a plus in my opinion.
I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.
You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
One of these that takes Glock 21 mags is next up on the purchase list.
ReplyDeleteChange the Mag Well to take Thompson Sub Gun mags, and put on a Suppressor....
ReplyDeleteThe version I intend to get will accept my 27-round Glock 21 mags and will have a suppressor that I can use on my Glock 21 and the JRC.
ReplyDeleteWhy, Les? I have no greasgun mags. I do have lots of 1911 mags.
ReplyDeleteWhat is not perfect about it. The price point is excellent so unless it's crappy like a Hi-Point carbine I may have to buy one as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat features wo you want that are not there?
sights might be nice.
ReplyDeleteIf it was a regular lower AR assmbly, but that's just wishful thinking, is a feature that would be perfect.

Setting aside the ease of hitting further out with a shoulder gun, going out to 16" can do good (though maybe not amazing) things for many .45 loads.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking .45 Super-level loads might have show a more impressive improvement.

What's it for? It's for me to BUY!!
ReplyDeleteThey make 1911 drums that would be great in that thing: http://www.centerfiresystems.com/ProductImages/mags-drums/DRUM1911-25-B.jpg

Can we call it an AR-11?
ReplyDeleteHere is my post about it:

100 round drum mags would be sweet with that:

Reliable drum mag or a different design to take a Thompson stick mag and this is a winner.
ReplyDeleteI'd make my go to gun for USPSA multi-gun
