Crowman... Is the TNW caliber convertible? I have a Just Right Carbine. They ARE caliber convertible. The JRC has a removable mag well and that's how it accepts different mags. Looking at your pics, it looks like the mag well on the TNW is integral with the trigger guard. The JRC also uses AR trigger components, and I upgraded the trigger with ease. I cant tell if the TNW uses an AR trigger...? JRC now has a 10mm carbine, and I have been thinking about one, but would only consider the TNW if it has the features the JRC has.
Yes, they are. There are two frame sizes...small one for 9 mm, 357 SIG and 40 S&W.
Large frame, which I have, is for 10 mm Auto, and 45 ACP.
There is also a 22 LR conversion kit as well.
To convert between calibers within the two frame sizes requires only a bolt and barrel replacement...in other words, I can convert my 10 mm to 45 ACP with a bolt and barrel change, in around 5-6 minutes. Can do it in the field.
TNW also sells their carbines in convertible packages. They also offer an expensive bug-out pack with pockets designed for the gun, ammo and magazine storage. They also offer a ballistic plate that will stop heavy 10 mm bullets, that slides into a pocket in the pack’s back compartment. Another feature they offer is to thread the barrel for a can. Thread pitch varies by caliber.
For my purposes, I only wanted the 10 mm model. The carbine comes without sights, one 10-round magazine and one rail. I bought two more rails from TNW’s website. I bought five 15 round 10 mm Glock mags from Gun Mag Warehouse.
The ASR’s are intended to be compact break-down carbines for travelers, hikers and bush pilots. Great woods carbine. In that role, the 10 mm made more sense to me. The basic gun is around six lbs., the more junk ya add, the heavier it gets. This does not replace my 357 & 44 lever carbines, but does open up options...
