For those complaining about it's aesthetics, the Sub2K ain't pretty, and the HiPoint carbine is legendary in its hideousness. I think this thing looks fine.

That's what I was wondering. There'd be no reason at all to make the magwell that much longer than a 9mm magazine if they didn't have something else in the works... you'd think.Looking at both of those, it's clear the new one could take a longer (front to back) magwell adapter. .45 ACP would be obvious, but what else could fit?
While the mechanical sights on this PC Carbine work very well, for accuracy testing, I mounted a Leupold Mark 6 target scope, to evaluate the accuracy potential of the rifle. The PC Carbine has a section of Picatinny rail integral with the top of the receiver, so mounting the Leupold was quick and easy. I fired five-shot groups at fifty yards for accuracy, and the PC Carbine shot much better than expected. Every group fired, with every type of ammo tested, grouped five shots into less than one inch, every time. The Buffalo Bore 125 grain +P load grouped into half of that, every time. This little PC Carbine is accurate!
He had a picture of five holes touching, I think it was from Buffalo Bore +P?I wanted to quote this from the gunblast review. These were 50 yard groups he is talking about. If there is any truth to this then it becomes infinitely more interesting to me. I have been looking at this for the role I bought my hi point for, a steel plinker to take advantage of cheap 9mm range ammo. If they truly are capable of this kind of accuracy that moves it up into being a varmint control and small game hunting rifle that I am currently using a 22 rifle for.
I wondered about that, but would they feed reliably? I like my Rossi lever gun for that.357 and 44 mag! Use the desert eagle mags! And new weights? And a new bolt! And new barrel! And new gun!
AgreedMSRP of $650 ; I can buy the Ruger AR5.56 for $460 or a Colt for $650 that is the same overall length and near 1/2 lb lighter. I like the Ruger company and have many of their firearms. But I can't think of a single reason to buy this one at this price. Now if street prices are in the $350-$400 range like the Ruger American bolt guns I'll buy one.
