New Ruger Pistol Caliber Carbine?

Baldman · Dec 27, 2017

I saw this link earlier this morning and read some info on it. Looks like a built up 10/22 takedown and you can get mag wells for a variety of mags not just Ruger. The link now gives a 404 error. Does anyone know if this thing is real or just vaporware? Most AR style pistol calibers are a little on the expensive side, I'd like to see Ruger make this and sell it at a reasonable price.

Any thoughts?

Depending on how it’s made it would be what a lot of folks have been wanting

I was able to grab this picture

I got an old Ruger marked Ruger .44 mag carbinee, discontinued in mid 80s, looks like a 10/22...I love mine.

John_R · Dec 27, 2017

Interesting, much better ergonomics than my Sub2000.

BigBore44 · Dec 27, 2017

Sure looks a lot like the Ruger PC carbine, just in a takedown.

Sistema1927 · Dec 27, 2017

Also looks like interchangeable mag wells. A Ruger PC Carbine that takes Glock mags? Take my money.

John_R · Dec 27, 2017

With M&P mags I may be interested.

Blkhrt13 · Dec 27, 2017

Oh wow. I may need to start saving now.

BigBore44 · Dec 27, 2017

Make it in 10mm and I WILL buy one. But it will most likely be a 9mm, .40, .45 gun just like the Beretta’s. And then, I’ll just have to pass.

I wish it weren't a takedown, and the interchangeable mag-well looks like it locks you into the factory tupperware, but if this thing hits the streets without sliding sideways and rolling in a fiery blaze of fail, I'll own two of them!

Hmmm, it has my attention at least.

Hmm, got all excited with the title, thought it might be a lever action.

I recently bought a Sub 2000 to fit this role. Consider my ears perked.

Panzerschwein · Dec 27, 2017

Broken link in OP.

My ears are perked with extreme intensity. I'd love a Ruger carbine.

+1...in 10mm.

+2 other wise not interested

I also have no use for the takedown feature

everydefense · Dec 27, 2017

I'd say they used the takedown design so it can (more or less) directly compete against the Sub 2000, which Kel-Tec hasn't been able to make enough to satisfy customer demand ever since they began production.

Assuming they make a 9mm CZ-compatible mag well (or one that is close enough to work for CZs), I am looking forward to buying this, too, and comparing them.

Take down so you can switch upper to whatever caliber you want and removable “mag block” to use whatever mags you want...if that’s the case, they are going to make a lot of money on this one.

I wouldn’t bet on it ...be lucky to get one or the other. Leaves the door wide open for aftermarket though.

Looks like a lot of plastic, maybe just the photo (hope).

RedlegRick · Dec 27, 2017

I'd be interested in it, for the take down feature alone.

Give me one in .45ACP and I'll have a suppressor built around the barrel in no time. Marlin Camp Carbines are rare and expensive, PC:s were never available in .45 so this would be a perfect "silent carbine" project. I wouldn't mind having one in 10mm either, though.

This is what I was thinking. It looks awful plasticy...

I would be interested in one if it took M&P or Glock mags, but I have a feeling it will take the American and SR mags. That may be what the different mag wells are for.

On second look, that magazine on the right looks to be a Magpul magazine, who only makes pistol mags for Glock as far as I can tell.

Panzerschwein · Dec 27, 2017

I only see two rails... I am a bit upset this isn't very tactical. A firearm needs at a minimum 5 rails to be truly tactical.

John_R · Dec 27, 2017

One day they may sell an integrally suppressed barrel unit...

My god you're right, that's exactly what it is, the long awaited internet prophecy is true!

All hail the Glock Carbine!

.... By Ruger.

I had been saving up for a totally different type of rifle, but Ruger really doesn't leave me much choice here. And I'll need to go ahead and put in some paperwork on a .45 can while I'm at it.
