I recently picked up some PW arms 33 rnd Glock 9mm mags. These are made in Korea similar to KCI and Kahn. The KCI and Kahn mags seem to be hit and miss. I had used some previously in my Kel Tec Sub2k and Glock 19 and 26 with no issues. I decided to pick up a bunch as I got them very cheap.
I took the JRC to the range today with the mags loaded to about 25 rnds. I had read online to disassemble the mags and lubricate the springs. I did this with some Rem Oil. I'm happy to report I had zero problems with the mags in over 100 rounds! I was expecting the worse. Turns out the mags where very reliable.
However, my JRC had a hiccup of it's own. One nice feature of the JRC is that you can swap the charging handle to the left or right side. Well the allen scew that screws into the bolt to allow this broke off in my bolt assembly! Luckily I was done shooting the JRC.
I called justrightcarbine's and without a question they are sending me out a new charge handle and screw. Looks to be an easy fix, and the tech said they have had some other issues with this on other guns. We will now see how fast there customer service is in shipping out a new part.
Oddly enough the Korean part ran without issue, where the American made part failed. I would usually say that would be reversed. Stay tuned...
UPDATE! Got the part from JRC in not time at all! Impressed with their customer service. Had to break down and buy and AR15 stock wrench. The only way to break down the JRC is to remove the buttstock. Not my favorite feature and differs greatly from an AR15. It was very easy to install the new charging handle. I opted for the right hand this time.
Took it too the range and had no problems that where gun related. I did however have an issue with one of my PW arms mags. It was the mag that I tried to modify to drop free, so I'm sure from my dremmeling that it weakened the magazine. It cracked up by the fee lips. The other two mags performed flawlessly. I mounted a Bushnell TRS25 red dot and I really prefer this over the Magpul sights. Overall this is a great little carbine.
