Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has introduced the Ruger LC Carbine chambered in 10mm Auto. This carbine features a 16.25-inch threaded barrel, adjustable folding stock, Ruger Rapid Deploy folding sights and ambidextrous controls.
With the stock set to the shortest length of pull, this LC Carbine is 28.6 inches in overall length. Based on the 45 Auto LC Carbine, the 10mm Auto carbine features right- and left-hand bolt releases, an octagonal handguard, reversible magazine release and is compatible with most off-the-shelf Glock-pattern 10mm Auto magazines.
The LC Carbine features an aluminum free-float handguard with M-LOK attachment slots, QD attachment points for slings, and a full-length Picatinny rail for AR-height optics. The folding stock is reversible and features an adjustable length of pull, but can easily be replaced with AR-pattern stocks. The rear of the receiver has a Picatinny rail for accessory compatibility. The LC Carbine can be disassembled without tools, allowing for convenient cleaning and maintenance.
The LC Carbine utilizes Ruger’s Secure Action fire-control mechanism that combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger. Made in the USA. The carbine is widely available for about $850.
Two questions are stopping me buying a Ruger’s LC Carbine in 10mm and using it as a brush gun to hunt here in Maine.
1. Energy of the 10mm out of a 16.25 in. barrel at 100 yards?
2. Availability of a 5-round magazine required for hunting in Maine?
Let me get this straight, I could be a contributing gun editor or editor of gun tests or really any established gun magazine if
1) I do not test gun, or test it, take it apart see the differences between it and the competitors or even look at it.
2) Just systematically regurgitate the manufacturers sell ad in my review.
Gotcha, so does Gun Test have any openings for a writer eager to start his carreer in plagiarism?
