I've decided if I ever see another Marlin camp 9 for a good deal I'm going to buy it. I saw one last fall for $500 but I didn't even know what it was. I went home and googled it and it was gone when I went back for it.
I see that the price for the Ruger PC Carbine has dropped to $489 + 19.99 S&H
Twenty bucks seems kind of high for shipping, but maybe I'm used to 10 bucks for shipping a handgun. I've never purchased a rifle online.
I'm hoping they drop below $500 - shipped.
Ruger PC Carbine and Ruger American Pistol, both in 10mm. Yeah, right. Dream on.
There's a locally owned chain of gun stores around here that advertised them last week for $599.00 before TT&L.
I understand "tax" is one of the Ts but title, transfer, or licensing ?
I just bought a Scorpion Evo to scratch my sub gun itch, but if Ruger drops a 10mm carbine I very likely will pick one up as a backup deer carbine for drives in the brush.
Nice. Congrats!
And this is interesting. I would imagine that some of the best carbine loads would be those that had moderate expansion and penetration in the 16-18 inch range from pistol length barrels.The 95gr +P cartridges would produce an even flatter trajectory I'd imagine.
Hardly anyone does gel tests from a carbine, maybe everyone just assumes that any SD ammo is going to perform awesomely from 16" barrel, but I'd like to see some tests. I'd really be interested to see how the 150gr Federal 150gr 9mm HST P9HST5S performs out of a 16" barrel. I'm also curious about the copper hollowpoints like Barnes and Corbon DPX. Those bullets open up beautifully, and they penetrate OK, but a couple more inches of penetration would be great. I don't know if you get that though by making them go faster... Sometimes the extra speed ends up creating more expansion but not that much more penetration.
That's oing to be a very hot metal handguard. The stock handguard on my carbine is already almost too hot to touch after a few hundred rounds.And speaking of further developments, it looks like the aftermarket for the Ruger PCC is gearing up.

I have no idea what causes the issue. When I get a moment I'll take a closer look.Is that due to a distance from the barrel issue with the Ruger forend?
Since Pistol Caliber Carbines are often derived from sub machine gun types, this is an interesting development.
