When are these available anyway?
Ruger Carbine Takedown !
- Thread starter GOYABEAN
- Start date
The two shops I have stopped in to have them on order! That's all they could tell me!
That things reads like a Ruger ad.

It's funny how everyone is drooling over this fudd gun but didn't over the ARES SCR.

I have a sr9c too.... and am also thinking this would be nice!!! plus I got "some" 9 mm saved up too!!
This is far cheaper is it not? Also I thought the SCR was incompatible with PCC uppers?

SCR was 223 not pcc.

Right. And this PCC is 9mm. They make those in AR formats too but for some reason the ARES was blah and this is God!

When ARES released the SCR, there were already a few FUDD options in the same vein. The Saiga, SKS, Keltec and Ruger Mini 14 were available.
Currently, there's not a whole lot of FUDD PCC options out there unless you want to overpay for a used Ruger PC9/PC4 or a Marlin Camp.
IMO, most don't want to buy an AR PCC and stick it with a Thordsen. Or the AR platform doesn't have the same appeal as a PCC.
Personally, if I'm buying anything in the AR platform, I want it to shoot 5.56, 6.5 grendel, 6.8 or maybe even step up to .308.

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not knocking this fudd option. I'm just making an observation. I'd buy one if I was in the market for one.
I also don't see how a PCC in a fudd configuration is okay but not ideal if in an AR with a Thordsen configuration but in 5.56 it is. That makes no sense.

No wood stock=no Fudd gun.

Cool but ugly. I'd rather have the CMMG guard or the LWRC SMG when it comes out... oh wait...
@thewheels

If I lived beyond the iron curtain, I'd probably have both of those and the Ruger.
Well let's see, the CMMG is 1.1k and the LWRC is 1.7k. This Ruger has a street price of about $500. Apples to fuckn' bowlin' balls as Phil Leotardo would say.

I'd sell a kidney to have that LWRC as an SBR with a suppressor on it. 30 rounds of supressed 45 in a SMG size package with AR controls? I can't think of a better home defense gun IMO.
I wonder if Ruger will eventually make their carbine in a 45...

The thing that really bothers me about those really submachiney looking PCCs is that I look at em and think "without full auto I'm really missing out on the point of this thing".
And I'm sure this Ruger will be offered in the other two big calibers at some point.
There is a shop that I have been to in Waterbury, VT that received them a couple days ago. They are selling them at $499! I was kind of expecting the price to be a little higher.
Of course, they will have the version with the evil threaded barrel and standard capacity magazine. Every time a stop in this place I leave just a little more annoyed that I can’t have what free America can.
Cool. One of these is definitely on the short list.
I'm hoping the shop I just bought a Bodyguard from asks a price like that ($499..00) as they gave me 15% discount card off my next purchase!!
Wow, hope it works out that way for you. That savings will buy you a few extra magazines. I keep reminding the guys I know at the local shop that I’m interested. The owner told me that he expects to get them and that he has had quite a few requests. I was actually thinking about adding a 10/22 takedown until I heard about this one. At some point I’m sure I’ll have both.

I never cared for the idea of a PCC until I got a chance to shoot my nephew's Kriss Vector. Damn that was fun. This being a take down would be nice in 40s&w, throw it in a back pack and go.

That's really the whole point of a PCC. It's a grab and go that shares ammo and magazines with your pistol so you can travel light.

I would really love it if they came out with other pistol magazine adapters since I don’t have an SR9 or a Glock. An HK VP9 or 1911 conversion would be ideal.
Another good video!
I agree but will still be buying one of these and hope a S&W MP adapter becomes available! It is a Ruger and they do get a lot of after market support!

This is actually the first I seen one in break down form, I never really looked at PCC's before because the idea never appealed to me. Until I got to run a few mags through the Vector
I get the whole point of them, just never cared for them previously.

a and j arms in bardonia are selling them
I'm glad I saw this before I bought a bunch of the ETS happy sticks as I was planning to do. I'll go with the SGM mags instead. And its kind of a bummer that tools are needed to get the action out of the stock.

Thanks for posting! I checked last night for my weekly MAC video and forgot to check today. I love Tim (not gay).
Seems like a very reliable carbine (with Glock mags).. it will be interesting to see the aftermarket support for it.
