Ruger PC Carbine - Take Down

[Opie]

Hrmm, I do have an extra RMR sitting here...

Although I know an AR platform makes more sense, there is something cool about this one.

Kudos to ruger on this one, that's a hella great little rifle, and speced really well

The gun looks decent but I really wish they design the mag well to have a bit more aesthetics. Maybe a shrouded design like the Kriss Vector.

Yeah, it's a bigger mag well than the original PC9, but I assume it is because of the interchangeable inserts. They should have at least made the underside of the inserts "flared" so if you miss the hole in the center it would help it slide in (instead of flat across the bottom). It's nit picking something I haven't held of course, so it might just be fine as is.

Anyone seen one in a LGS yet?

I wonder if some with design experience and a 3D printer could make a third party magwell insert to accept other manufacture magazines. Gears turning in my head.

Isn't it with the sub 2k you have to buy each insert individually from Kel-Tec? If so then Ruger has a one up on them.

That would be pretty slick if I could run my M&P mags in that little rifle...

I wonder how different the Ruger mags really are from the M&P mags. At a casual glance, they seem QUITE similar.

I'm lukewarm on this gun. What does it provide that a CZ Scorpion doesn't? Just the takedown?

And about 1/3 the retail price.

Low price, takedown, glock mags, 1/2x28 barrle threading, although not nearly as sexy.

Basically beating Kel-Tec on their own turf.

Bigtime.

I've been considering a PC9 for a few years now, watching prices climb. Now I have the chance to purchase a new one, cheaper than the used ones? Excellent!

 

[frenchiectfd2203]

So will the 10mm be the 10/10?

Thats a big 10/4!!

And there you have it. Why is the scorpion price so high. I had one and hated it, felt cheap and flimsy..

 

[ChalupaCabras]

I used to want one of the original pretty bad ... When I saw they were bringing them back, I got excited for 2.25 seconds - Right up until I saw the spec sheet has it as 7 pounds.

I thought that was nuts (same as an M4 / 5.56 carbine) so I looked up the weight of the original ... 7 pounds as well. NO THANKS... I'll just keep waiting for a .40 Sub 2000 Sig mag.

Ruger® Takedown Bag - Black-ShopRuger

Hmmm. When the 10/22 TD was released, the bag came with it. It wasn't offered for sale separately. Now it is going to be sold as accessory.​

Maybe Ruger heard that the bag was useless if you had a scope on your gun so most people didn't use them anyway

Many of us TD owners have scopes and use the factory bag. Just can't be a long scope. My 2.5-7 weaver fits.
