Off the bucket list!

[1990Turbo]

One of my friends brought one of these out shooting once. At first I was like neat another 10/22. Until I looked at the danger end of the barrel and was like what the hell is this thing. So ya it was a .44 Magnum Carbine. That was around 5-6 years ago and at that moment I had to have one but not bad enough to pay the 600+ for one. This one came along through a family member for 300 and I just couldnt pass it up. Now time to start stocking up on .44 mag rounds. Does anyone have any cool facts or stories about these fun little shooters?

Nice pick up!! Wish I had some facts and stories for you but I am sure someone here will give you some tidbits.

 

[MrMillspecer]

Nice. I'll give ya $320.

That's a cool little rifle.

They shine with quality ammo not just plinking stuff. These are one reason to reload (better groups and cheaper), makes a great brush hunter for deer.

Will these shoot .44 special?

Will these shoot .44 special?

I am not really sure.

Haha I bet you would!

I doubt .44 Spec is gonna cycle in that rifle. But one can try I suppose.

Is the scope on backwards??

Is it a Ruger?

 

[1990Turbo]

Is it a Ruger?

Yes it is. It is a tube feed like a shotgun so no magazine holds 5 rounds.

Is the scope on backwards??

No its a cheap red dot. I might get a small magnified scope for it though.

 

[01rednavigator]

Yes it is. It is a tube feed like a shotgun so no magazine holds 5 rounds.

I never have heard about or seen one of these, now I want one!

VERY DAMN NICE!!
Those were another of those guns that when they were making them never caught on. I had one a couple times and sadly sold them. As so often happens not long after they stopped making them the price started to climb. Rarely see one any more and the price you paid for it is a pittance to what they go for now. ENJOY!!!
If you don't roll your own ammo you need to now. The cost of a few boxes of factory ammo will net you a good usable set up to roll your own. I am green with envy at the deal you got on that!

I had one years ago and I'm sorry I let it go. It's one of the most fun rifles I've ever owned. You're going to love it.
Mine was as reliable as a 10/22 and way more fun. If I remember correctly it will shoot .44 Spec just fine. Enjoy that rascal.

Haha I bet you would!

Hey I've got $325.....

Whoul that example be a good home project converting it to a detachable box mag version? What would be involved? Would one have to ruin the gun to convert it? Could it be converted? What kind of big box mag would work? I dunno.

I am not sure it can be. It operates very similar to a semi auto tube fed shotgun so I dont think it will allow for a magazine, but I guess anything may be possible.

Its pretty sweet. The overall dimensions are very close to the 10/22 and really doesnt weigh much more either.

 

[GOG]

There were two versions, one was the tube fed model and the other had a rotary magazine exactly like the 10/22. Mine was the mag style.
