I bought the Ruger carbine a few years ago. It was accurate and did what it was supposed to do, but overall kind of clunky for me. Eventually I spent the money and went to the Beretta CX4 instead. It is less clunky
In these beholder's eyes, I much prefer the looks of "clunky" than I do the Neos-like "aerodynamic" lines of a Whitney Wolverine wannabe. But I am one who narrowly escaped the meteor that wiped out my kinfolk.
Is that an aftermarket stock or just a Ruger model I haven't seen?
Why the insults? What the heck did I do to you?
That looks very nice and useful. The Magpul's product overview indicates that there are two storage compartments but they only show a photo of one (the same one you have open in your photo). Where is the second compartment?Yes Sir, that's the Magpul Ruger Backpacker stock:

"We’ve also integrated two convenient storage locations. The first is a water-resistant grip storage compartment that provides an at-hand location for a small multi-tool, survival equipment, or cleaning equipment. The second is a compartment in the riser section that’s ideal for a single pistol magazine, fitting up to the PMAG 21 GL9."
If you have a 10/22 take down, they make one for it, holds 3 10rd mags in the stock.@drobs, I'm digging that Magpul stock ...
I guess that depends on your expectations, mine has been minute of milk jug or better at 100yds.I’ve had a 9mm PC Charger pistol for over a year now, not a really high round count, but so far zero issues or malfunctions. Runs 147 gr. just fine but at 25+ yards 115 grain groups best. Yes it’s a heavy beast, feels like my PAK-9 AK 9mm pistol, but recoil is surprisingly light for a blowback. And a better than average trigger for a pistol caliber carbine. Not yet had a chance to bench rest it to see how good it is.
and just FYI for anyone who doesn’t have a pistol caliber carbine, don’t expect rifle caliber accuracy. Most handgun ammo isn’t loaded to tolerances as tight as rifle loads, and a 9mm 147 gr. bullet is a rock compared to a 150 gr. 30 caliber rifle bullet in terms of aerodynamics so 25-50 yards is what I consider a practical range.
does anybody feel theirs is WAY too muzzle heavy? the one I handled felt like it needed a half pound removed from the barrel.
I bought the Ruger carbine a few years ago. It was accurate and did what it was supposed to do, but overall kind of clunky for me. Eventually I spent the money and went to the Beretta CX4 instead. It is less clunky and just as accurate. It was a few hundred more, but over the lifetime that's not much if you intend to keep it and enjoy it. My older eyes dictated a red dot instead of the iron sights. I also added a couple of the buttstock spacers for LOP. The Beretta works great with the red dot. It makes me smile every outing with it.
