Introducing the new lightweight, compact Ruger LC Carbine chambered in 5.7x28mm. The compact nature of this carbine owes to its bolt-over-barrel design and feeding through the grip. The Ruger LC Carbine has a full 16.25, barrel. Utilizing the same magazines and controls as the innovative Ruger-5.7 pistol, the LC Carbine is the ultimate range companion. Even when using typical 40 grain 5.7x28mm jacketed bullets, this high-performing carbine's felt recoil is comparable to a .22 LR. The fluted, nitride-coated alloy steel barrel is durable and lightweight and allows for the attachment of standard muzzle accessories.
