Trimdad,

Your carbine looks really nice, but... shall I hold your pictures as blackmail?  I'm sure our "retro land" brothers would find this most troublesome.  

Good job!

I sent it in August of last year and got it may of this April,, I think.
My dealer told me that a lot of the high ups at justice have retired and their positions
Have gone unfilled, now I hear the wait is getting close to a year!

Oh that is gorgeous. I'm in the middle of building a 7.5" 5.56 and a 10.5" 300 BLK.

I sent mine in the first of June. Well it started out a 7.5in 5.56 and I am in the process of building a noveske 300 blk 10.2 in barrel, vltor upper rainier evolution 9in rails ace arfx-e stock on a rock river lower Wilson combat single stage trigger. I am still on the process of putting the upper together. I'm sure I will have it done by the time the paperwork gets approved

Thanks for the nice words guys.
A bit of advice for you regarding you're 7 1/2. Build.
If you are ever planing on using a suppressor on it
Don't do a 7" barrel, do a 10"
I didn't learn that till after I had built the gun.
In fact I might trade off my barrel and rail in the future for 10" parts

Sounds like we are in the same boat. Mine is on the EE

I will keep that in mind. I haven't got any of the gas parts yet, debating on the Adam Arms piston like you have or a pigtail tube. If I do do a suppressor it will be a 30 cal can to use with the 300 and maybe use with the 556. I've been chalking up a convertible idea for a form 1 just haven't had the time to run any simulations with it.

I wish I would have know  about over suppressing when I got  mine.
I would have bought a 30 cal and used it on my 223
What is a pigtail tube?  I'm sure that was a dumb question

Nah, it's not a dumb question. I don't see them on here all that much or at least mentioned that is.

It's pretty much a longer gas tube that winds around the barrel to add length for lower gas pressures.

Oh ya, I have seen something along those lines.
On the one I saw e gas tube forked . Ya it's supposed to make the action
A little less violent correct?

One thing you could do to help out your suppressor is put a brake instead of a flash hider on there.
Supposedly this acts as a sacrificial blast baffle for the suppressor.
$60 here

It will be annoyingly loud without a suppressor though.

Right. Supposed to lower pressure with added length, help with the action with a longer dwell time and I would guess probably help with recoil since a lower amount of pressure is hitting the gas key.

I've been looking at the AAC brakeout since it is supposed to be both.

The problem is actually the barrel,  putting a Suppressor on a 7"
Barrel is not recommended by any manufacturer that I know of. And most will void you're
Warranty
The reason, as explained to me buy gem tech,
A 7" barrel is to short for the 223/556 round to stabilize, which could
Result in the bullet hitting the suppressor baffles inside
Also 70% more energy is released at the muzzle on a7 than that of a 10"
and that put a lot of abuse on a can.
A7" barrel is also not enough long enough for the powder to effectively burn off
Putter more stress on it.

All that said,,, I have still put 400 flawless rounds through mine
