U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is excited to introduce six new PC Carbine configurations including three free-float handguard models chambered in the popular 9mm Luger and three standard models offered in the highly anticipated .40 S&W chambering. These new PC Carbine models are offered in varying magazine capacity and threaded barrel configurations to ensure multi-state availability.
With improved utility for home defense and competition, the 9mm free-float handguard models feature a hard-coat anodized aluminum handguard with Magpul M-LOK accessory attachment slots on all four sides for easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible accessories. The appeal of the popular PC Carbine is further broadened with new models designed to accept the powerful .40 S&W cartridge.
All of these new models boast the hallmark features of the original PC Carbine. Uniquely designed for use with a variety of magazines, the PC Carbine has an easily interchangeable magazine well system that allows the rifle to accept common Ruger and newer Glock magazines. The PC Carbine also features a dead blow action with a custom tungsten weight that shortens bolt travel and reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise.
Similar to the popular 10/22 Takedown rifle, the PC Carbine is designed for quick separation of the barrel/forend assembly from the action for ease of transportation and storage. Takedown is as simple as locking the bolt back and verifying that the rifle is unloaded, pushing a recessed lever, twisting the subassemblies and pulling them apart.
The rifles also feature a reversible magazine release and charging handle to accommodate right- or left-handed shooters. The bolt is machined from heat-treated, chrome-moly steel to ensure strength, structural integrity and durability. The cold hammer-forged, chrome-moly steel barrel with ultra-precise rifling provides exceptional accuracy, longevity and easier cleaning, and some models feature a threaded muzzle to allow for use of standard muzzle accessories.
The accurate sighting system features a barrel-mounted, ghost ring adjustable rear aperture sight and a non-glare, protected blade front sight. The durable, glass-filled nylon synthetic stock features a soft rubber buttpad with spacers to allow the rifle to be adjusted for different sized shooters or varying levels of outerwear. The PC Carbine ships with the SR-Series magazine well installed and an additional magazine well that accepts newer Glock magazines. A 9mm Ruger American Pistol magazine well is available separately at ShopRuger.com.

I love this rifle, but come on Ruger, no 10mm? Give the people what they want. We need a 10mm carbine that’s not a Hi-Point.
Sorry for the typo, recently purchased a RPR, not rmr. Gun is junk,(see prior post). Bought a mini-14 a few years ago. Also junk. If you just what to pull the trigger and have it go bang, buy Ruger. If you want to be able to shoot what you aim at, buy something better. I learned. NO MORE JUNK RUGER GARBAGE FOR ME
Still waiting for more magazine compatibility. I don’t own a Glock or Ruger pistol. I would like to see Beretta 92, Sig 226, or Cz75b magazine capable. Until then I will keep using my Kel Tec Sub 2000. With CZ mag catch it’ll use S&W m&p, Sig 226, and Cz75b mags.
I have been waiting since Ruger came out with this rifle. I’m beginning to think that they don’t want my money.
I have a Ruger PC Carbine. The MCarbo springs I put in it reduced the trigger pull down to 1 pound, 6 ounces average. I’d really like to see somebody like Magpul introduce an aftermarket stock for the PC Carbine. As far as the 10mm goes, I’m not so sure we’ll see that right away. Perhaps Ruger learned their lesson when they tried to make a decent 10/22 in .22WMR. This may be why we are seeing a .40 S&W instead of the much desired 10mm. Having said that, I certainly would love one to go with my Glock 20… Read more »
I would buy a Ruger carbine if they made it in 10 mm. I had the 9 mm in my hands and it felt great. A very well built weapon.
Please bring back the 44mag carbine. Great hunting caliber and fun the shoot.
