A little help with new Ruger PC Carbine

Did you fully unscrew the hex bolts? That would be the first thing I would check. Mine was a bit stiff to get out of the stock initially but it will come out.

I've yet to see one that didn't come out of the stock when the two bolts are loosened,

Did you remove the barrel first?

No insult intended.....magazine is out yes? Barrel removed? Bolt forward?

And you are talking about the reciever assembly being stuck together correct? Once that it is off you have to depress the mag release AND press on a little lever inside thh sr9 magwell simultaneously to remove the magwell.

Sounds like your stock is out of spec so it is really tight and the assembler brute forced them together. Just pull harder.

I dunno George, sounds like it is rubber or rawhide mallet time.

throw the thing in the freezer for the evening then let it thaw, sometimes that can separate a stuck stock, other wise break out that mallet. Clean it real well, then while pushing down on the trigger guard tap around the action and see if its moves any. If you have longer screws you can thread in you can do that then tap at those, as well as on the trigger guard.....
From what i can see thats a straight wall stock it shouldnt be able to mechanically lock in there.

Called Ruger first thing and get right through. Unfortunately, the girl had no answer. After I left call back info I decided to just give it a whack with the palm of my hand. THAT WORKED!
So all is well in BLM preparedness land

Thanks to all for the suggestions

Glad you got it disassembled. I think I would rather have a tight fit than a loose one.

Glad you got it apart. My PCC has become one of my most fun range guns.

My only additional suggestion is a dab of blue Loctite on the fore end hex bolt once it’s all together. Mine had a tendency to shoot loose, as did two others that friends bought. Once I did this it’s been rock solid.

I kept mine without a scope or dot. I painted the front sight white-then-blaze orange and it really stands out nicely on the ghost ring.

I think these are fantastic rifles and I’m sure you will enjoy yours!

Stay safe.

Mine runs great and is a family favorite. During the initial quarantine I took my family up to our desert house to get them away from the city. I still had to go to work during the week so I had to leave the wife and kids alone. Although it is very safe up there, I still wanted them to have a firearm. I had been trying for months to get my wife to shoot the Ruger and finally circumstances forced that to happen. After about 10 rounds she turned around with a huge smile and said, "This one is mine!" I put an MCarbo trigger, extractor, and pins in just for fun and it now it shoots even better.

Glad you got yours in order and it will protect you well with the 33 rounders in place!

LOVE my Ruger PC Carbine. It's one of my favorite rifles. Dead reliable for the few hundred rounds I've shot it, 4 or 5 different ammo types and not a single issue.

I'm using 21 round Magpul Glock Mags, I have a Burris 1-5x scope and at 50 yards any coke can, clay target, or small rock isn't safe.

I have it ready and setup for my wife to use "around the house" if she ever needs to. My short 12 gauge just kicks too much for her to use. And 21 rounds of hollowpoint 9mm isn't something to sneeze at.
