I have a Ruger American rifle in .300 Blackout, which is great, but having a 16" barrel for .300 Blackout is silly. Registering as an SBR is another cost and delay, as is cutting and threading the barrel. Other semi-custom makers are producing short .300 Blackout pistol-braced bolt actions at high prices. There is a more mass-market niche for a light, handy, more affordable version that Ruger would be perfect to fill. Pistol-braced 8-9" barrel, threaded, 1:7 twist AR mag compatible I know you can do this after doing the 10/22 Charger and PC Charger. Alternatively, more expansive but semiauto, a stretched PC Charger in .300 Blackout would be a great modern version of an M1 Carbine. And it goes against my light, handy argument, but thanks for offering factory integrally suppressed 10/22 TD barrels. One of those would go well for the RAR too (.300 BLK, tight twist). Thanks and keep up the good work, mPisi Edit:: Cursed typos!! Like this but $450: Remington 700 CP |

I'd like to see a Mini-30 made for M-1 Carbine ctg. If not that, will reluctantly accept a decent bolter with decent 10 shot mags--preferably more rds.
I'd also like to see Ruger offering at least the option to feed some of their rifles from the top, via stripper clips. |

Make an inexpensive and reliable platform that will shoot .30 Carbine ammo accurately, and reliably. If at all possible, allow the platform to use GI magazines.
Think about a syn-stocked, rifle with multiple optics options. Either a decent bolter, or a semi-auto would do. A modern-day substitute for the M-1 carbine that is reliable, accurate, and affordable. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Sputnik556: Yes, but in a more available/cheaper cartridge like 9mm or .45ACP. Not saying to make such a rifle for the rimmed .357 Mag, or .44 Mag, but with some clever designing of the bolts (and extractors) might be possible. Do whar Ruger did way back when. They designed the P-90 pistol, originally, for full-house 10mm ctgs, and when that bubble burst, re-designed the P-90 for .45 ACP. It's heavy and clunky because it was over-built for the 10mm, and modified for final .45 ACP version. OTOH, almost an indestructible pistol. I have multiple critical spare parts, for my P-90, and haven't touched one. Also re-built OEM Ruger P-90 mags with Ruger kits that allowed an extra ctg in the mags. Sadly, most of these parts/kits are no longer available. Ruger P-90 accuracy? I have a very nice S&W Custom Shop 625 .45 ACP revolver that shoots nicely. The Ruger P-90 does just as well in the accuracy dep't as the revolver, which is saying something for a self-loading pistol. Now that Ruger has investment casting and CNC machining down pretty well, perhaps future long arms can be built to best serve their intended ctgs without undue added weight. I'm guessing that a lot of Ruger's in-house talent is being devoted to their recent acquisition of Marlin, so some other projects in the pipeline have been slowed down a bit. Understandable. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By psegnatelli: Me too. It's kinda a mystery. Unless there is something stopping those that try. Design within the constraints of the PC family magwell is difficult. Making a business case is impossible. I talked to one guy who said that Ruger should make M&P magwells. He was even realistic about the involved costs, so by his calculation Ruger needed to sell 10,000 M&P magwells to break even. I came to the same number. Only he thought it was a realistic to attain number and I thought it was nuts. The total production of both Carbines and Chargers is probably about 200,000. The reason why Fraurem can sell the P320 magwells is that it's a hobby business - a guy with a 3D printer in his bedroom. It's not making any profit, even with free labor. |

The only way to make M1 Carbine reliable is to switch it to another magazine. Cleaned GI mags, with new springs are almost always GTG, in my experience. Unless the mags have been damaged somehow, then all bets are off. I re-habbed some WW II 15-rd Carbine mags with rust holes, through the body of the mags, with new springs and followers. No problem with them whatsoever.; just cleaned the inside of the body of the mag, really good, and used new springs and followers. Given all that, Ruger supplying a single 10-rd, RELIABLE factory mag with such firearms ought to tell everyone that maybe their old GI mags need some spring replacement. Not hard to do. |

...some Hawkeye rifles.
I have been looking for a Hawkeye Hunter in .308 for probably close to 2 years and I haven't found one anywhere. I do see plenty of Americans so I'm guessing that they are using limited resources to pump out the top sellers (assuming they sell more of the Americans than the Hawkeyes) but that's just a guess. I tried calling but they don't have an option for general inquiries and probably don't want to field a bunch of calls like that anyway. Anyone have any inside knowledge? |

The magazine capacity was pitifully small. The trigger was nothing to marvel about. The actual quality of the magazine was bad and the gun felt cheap. They want $699 for it. This is kind of my feeling on Ruger products. Lots of real good ideas that almost come together but just don't quite make it into the total package. Nasty triggers for the most , barrels that are kind of hit or miss. The potential is there but mostly they just don't pull it off. Don't get me wrong , I own several Mark I , II, and III models and several 10/22s that I have fixed up triggers to make them resonable decent shooters. Also one nice M77 with aftermarket trigger in 25-06 and a old army along with several single actions Of course I have dumped a Ranch Rifle, a original PCC a bolt action 357 and several other Rugers that try as I might wouldn't shoot worth a darn |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FightingHellfish: I thought that too. Great opening for the aftermarket. Two things are in the way of magwell adapters for PC Carbine. One, the technical challenge. It can be done aftermarket, but the result tends not to have a ton of slack in it. For some types of magazines it's almost impossible (e.g. Beretta 92). Two, the low take rate. I already discussed this with a poster at Arfcom who wanted M&P magazines. His estimate was 10,000 sales. The reality is more like 100 sales across the whole nation. I'm pretty sure even Beretta would not sell more than 2,000, but more likely 500 adapters. Personally I think Ruger would do well to offer a complete, clean-sheet redesign of the chassis to take the CZ Scorpion magazines, with the relocated magazine release. It would sell in low thousands too, but it can be priced somewhere under a grand. They might be able to shake a million out of that project, could be worth it for them. |

I do understand why they went with support for Glock magazines. And the fact that reliable 33 round Glock magazines are common helped them a lot there. But some of us are weird and just don't like Glock pistols. |

I understand not doing the 416 Rigby, 450 Rigby, and 505 Gibbs due to needing a full length magnum action... but there's no reason they can't open the long action up just slightly to fit the 375 H&H, 416 RM, 458 Lott, and 500 Jeffery in it. I want the RSM back. Gloss blued metal, nicely figured safari style stock, quarter rib with express sights, barrel band sling swivel and front sight. Add a drop box magazine that holds 4-5 rounds down instead of 3 (not a feature of the original RSM, IIRC). Make it in a LH version. They could stick with the current Hawkeye action as you mentioned; bonus points since they have a LH version of that action, unlike the old RSM magnum length action. I'm sure they want to push their .375 and .416 cartridges, so the .375 H&H and .416 RM probably aren't in the cards, but they'd be nice options. I'd really like to see a .458 WM or Lott. The WM would be easy, probably just modified feed lips; the Lott would take a bit more doing. I'm good with the weight of the .375 Rugers I have (7.75-8lbs bare) but I'd definitely want to see them beef up the barrel profile and stock on either .458 to get the bare rifle in the 9-10lb range and reduce the chance of the stock splitting. I'm probably one of just a handful of people who wants a left-handed .458 WM Hawkeye "RSM," but I'd buy one in a heartbeat. The idea of having a .458 bolt action has appealed to me for a long time, and for no logical reason whatsoever. Given the rarity of LH .458's, current options are to luck into a good used one, or spend a fortune on a custom. Since it would be purely a toy, a custom isn't in the cards. Most of the older production LH models I'm aware of are awfully light for caliber, as are most of the semi-custom re-barrel jobs. The RSM definitely didn't have that problem; if anything the .375 versions of them were way too heavy, but weight on the .458's seemed pretty good. TLDR: Left-handed Hawkeye in .458 WM with all of the old RSM features, plus 4-5 down capacity. Make it weigh 9.5-10lbs bare. Ship one to my LGS, and I'd even test it for free. |

I have a few 30 rounders and they work as well as any other Beretta magazine; which is to say perfectly in my experience. They are a little goofy hanging out of a handgun though. Not sure about M&P high-caps. |

I'm pretty sure I've seen +3, +5, and +6 extensions, which would push you to 20, 22, or 23 rounds, respectively. As far as complete magazines go, the only company I'm aware of making greater than 17 round mags for the M&P is ProMag. They make a 32-rounder for the M&P. I'm uncertain about the Beretta. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By spydercomonkey: Ruger PC Carbine Bullpup conversion stock I looked into a bullpup conversion of PC Carbine aftermarket. It can be done, but not cheaply. It's not only a plastic shell, many new parts are required. Ruger are in a better position only marginally. |

Prior to Springfield bringing it back, I always wondered what Ruger could do with the Hi Power platform.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cherenkov:A 7/8 scale Mini-14 in 5.7 "Micro 14" I asked around and found that it may be feasible to make a PC Carbine/Charger in 5.7 on the cheap. The bolt bass required by a blowback 5.7 is borderline suitable. It is a little less than 9mm. So, they could trade some of the excessive bolt length in PC platform for increased action travel in support of a longer cartridge. Unfortunately, it requires the fire control to be re-formatted, because the hammer pin in their design must be located under the butt of the bolt, and as I mentioned we're making it shorter in this proposal. This opens a small can of worms because of versions without a pistol grip. But it's going to be cheaper than making all new castings for "Micro-14" anyway. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WI-2021: I want the RSM back. Gloss blued metal, nicely figured safari style stock, quarter rib with express sights, barrel band sling swivel and front sight. Add a drop box magazine that holds 4-5 rounds down instead of 3 (not a feature of the original RSM, IIRC). Make it in a LH version. They could stick with the current Hawkeye action as you mentioned; bonus points since they have a LH version of that action, unlike the old RSM magnum length action. I'm sure they want to push their .375 and .416 cartridges, so the .375 H&H and .416 RM probably aren't in the cards, but they'd be nice options. I'd really like to see a .458 WM or Lott. The WM would be easy, probably just modified feed lips; the Lott would take a bit more doing. I'm good with the weight of the .375 Rugers I have (7.75-8lbs bare) but I'd definitely want to see them beef up the barrel profile and stock on either .458 to get the bare rifle in the 9-10lb range and reduce the chance of the stock splitting. I'm probably one of just a handful of people who wants a left-handed .458 WM Hawkeye "RSM," but I'd buy one in a heartbeat. The idea of having a .458 bolt action has appealed to me for a long time, and for no logical reason whatsoever. Given the rarity of LH .458's, current options are to luck into a good used one, or spend a fortune on a custom. Since it would be purely a toy, a custom isn't in the cards. Most of the older production LH models I'm aware of are awfully light for caliber, as are most of the semi-custom re-barrel jobs. The RSM definitely didn't have that problem; if anything the .375 versions of them were way too heavy, but weight on the .458's seemed pretty good. TLDR: Left-handed Hawkeye in .458 WM with all of the old RSM features, plus 4-5 down capacity. Make it weigh 9.5-10lbs bare. Ship one to my LGS, and I'd even test it for free. Good point on the .375 and .416s - they probably don't want the others eating into their sales. I am actually surprised the 375 Ruger hasn't caught on more because in addition to being able to be chambered in a long action, it also kicks the 375 H&H's ass in terms of performance. And yeah I feel for you lefties. I don't think Winchester or CZ chambered their safari guns in LH calibers, either? I know Weatherby has done some of their bigger chambered guns in left handed models, but they're quite a bit more expensive if you're going for the 416 or 460 Weatherbys, plus you don't have a CRF action if that's something you want. Does Sako to LH chamberings? I know the Brown Bear and Kodiak come in safari calibers, but not sure if they do LHs? They are hybrid CRF, though. |
