Ruger® LC Carbine™ .45 Auto Disassembly Tech Tips

[@ray.d.oeaux1230]

This gun is solid. And easy to break down and clean.

I like this breakdown. Field stripping a gun should not need a tool set. The need to use punches and pins with the PC Carbine was what drove me away from it. This was thought through.

At first glance the hole in the back of the receiver seems like a great idea, however, on my rifle the hole is not large enough to pass a 45 cal jag. That sort of defeats the convenience of the hole. Also, you can't really disassemble like shown in the video because you are at least going to have iron sights which means you can't just lay the gun upside down. And even worse, if you have an optic, which I suspect most will, you really cannot lay it on the table upside down. Also, be careful with those front handguard screws. Mine were so tight that I thought my allen wrench was going to break off before they gave way. Note - they need to be tightened to a specific torque when reassembled, the same goes for the bolt that retains the butt stock. Don't get me wrong, I love this rifle. It is an absolute tack driver and has fed everything that I can stuff in a mag 100% reliably. 230gr FMJ, 230gr JHP, 185gr +P JHP, etc. all feed 100% and are extremely accurate.

It be cool if the pics would let you use sister cartridges.. like 45 super or I think .400 corbon

The cleaning rod hole in the back of the receiver proves that this was designed by someone who shoots and cleans their own guns.

[@eosjoe565]

Except it is too small to pass a .45 cal cleaning jag. smh

[@danielhess39]

Thank you!

[@BradMcRoberts-ej4qp]

It would be great if you showed how to change it to Glock magazines

[@chipsterb4946]

😝 It runs G21 mags stock.

[@BradMcRoberts-ej4qp]

Yeah, found that out after I bought it. Like it a lot

[@eosjoe565]

@@chipsterb4946 One of the only down sides is the crappy mag it comes with. I have (8) Glock mags and they all eject cleanly from the rifle. But the included mag practically has to be pried out with a screwdriver. :-) At least it feeds reliably.

TRY AND BUY ONE… NONE AVAILABLE 😮😮

[@chipsterb4946]

I found one a couple weeks ago at my local Cabelas.

[@johnanderson186]

Got one at my LGS as soon as UPS/FEDEX dropped it off about 3 weeks ago. They’re sweet and solidly built.

[@chipsterb4946]

@@johnanderson186 little design details, like the hole in the back of the receiver to allow you to clean the barrel from the breach, give me a lot of confidence. (You have to remove the folding stock to access to hole, but it’s just 1 screw)
