Ruger PC Carbine Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

 The Ruger PC Carbine is a take-down rifle chambered in 9mm. It comes standard with innovative features such as a custom "dead blow" tungsten weight which shortens bolt travel and simultaneously reduces both felt recoil and muzzle rise. It also has interchangeable magazine wells, one which accepts Ruger SR-Series and the new Ruger Security 9 mags, and another which accepts Glock mags. The bolt is machined from heat treated, chrome-moly steel to ensure strength, structural integrity and durability. Takedown is as simple as locking the bolt back, verifying that the rifle is unloaded, pushing a recessed lever, twisting the sub-assemblies and pulling them apart. Specifications: Special Feature: Threaded Barrel Model Weight: 6.8 lbs. # of Mags: 1 Rate-of-Twist: 1-in-10" Sights: FS: Blade/RS: Adj Ghost Ring Additional Info: Includes GLOCK Mag Well to accept Glock 17 9mm mags Additional Info: Ships w/SR-Series Mag Well Additional Info: Ships w/Security-9 Mag Well Drilled/Tapped: Yes

Fun and Accurate

Very accurate right out of the box! Shot from 85 yards and hit a bottle of water with no problems. Very fun to shoot with the glock mags of 30 rounds. I shot about 300 rounds of Federal Ammunition and didnt have any issues with round cycling. Definitely w

Fun Little Shooter

It's not the most accurate thing in the world, but then again, who would expect this to make one-hole groups at 600 yards? Rather, it's a fun little plinker that can send lead downrange quickly and with minimal recoil. I had no jams or failures wi
