Introducing the Lightweight Ruger LC Carbine in 5.7x28mm

Wednesday, August 31st, 2022

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is excited to introduce the 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, features a reversible side-folding stock adjustable for length of pull, and is compatible with Picatinny rail-mounted accessory stocks. The stock and Rapid Deploy adjustable sights can be folded for storage.

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. Like the Ruger-5.7 pistol, the LC Carbine utilizes Ruger’s safe, reliable and proven Secure Action™ fire-control mechanism that combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger that has a short, smooth pull, clean break and positive reset. The fluted, nitride-coated alloy steel barrel is durable and lightweight and allows for the attachment of standard muzzle accessories.

Ruger President and CEO, Chris Killoy, took time out at the range with the new LC Carbine and says, “I can’t describe how ergonomic the LC Carbine feels in your hands. You have to experience it on the range to really appreciate how it balances and moves. The controls are intuitive and conveniently located, and the lack of felt recoil makes it hard to put down.”

Made in the USA of strong and lightweight materials, the Ruger LC Carbine is ideal for the range, backpacking, small game, or anywhere a versatile and reliable carbine is appreciated.

Sneak Peek – Enhanced Siete from LaRue Tactical

Tuesday, August 30th, 2022

It’s great to get an update after so long on LaRue’s Siete project after premiering at during SHOT Show 2020 and then disappearing during the COVID epidemic.

Mark LaRue posted this to social media.

** We can’t post the entire picture **

You’re probably asking “Mark, why the F did the Siete take so long?” Well, there has been a slew of things. Mainly, the finite number of hirable folks in America that can be considered “craftsmen”.

Sure, we’ve always had more than our fair share of American Craftsmen, but just enough to keep up with the ongoing demand for our QD mounts, MBTs, uppers, and everything else. The constantly-changing political climate continues to trigger unprecedented rushes on our website, kicking the Siete back off our priority board.

Reacting to all this, we’ve systematically polished our act by internally organizing work around an all-enveloping ERP system. Now, we’re there – backorders have been reduced – parts inventory built up, etc.

*So … Let’s Do This *

There’s no doubt, our Enhanced Siete will be your go-to bolt action.

The introductory price of $2,899 includes a free second barrel of your choosing.

A deposit of $950.00 will confirm your place in line. You will be billed the remaining $1,949 when your order ships.

The origins of the Purple Heart Medal trace back to August 1782 (240 years ago) when General George Washington issued the Badge of Military Merit. This medal was bestowed whenever any singular meritorious action was performed. In 1932, the award was reintroduced as the Purple Heart Medal to commemorate bravery and wounded soldiers. Today, the Purple Heart is awarded for a wide variety of injuries; this includes combat injuries and deaths, those wounded in acts of terrorism and other reasonings.

Highlights of the Custom Colt 1911 Series 70 include:

• Each pistol has been designed to display a custom medallion of the modern-day Purple Heart Medal set into bright white faux ivory grips.

• The slide contains custom 24K gold scroll, shading and inscription of the quote “SOME GAVE ALL, ALL GAVE SOME” dedicated to those who serve.

• The rear panel of the Colt 1911 displays George Washington’s Coat of Arms while the reverse has the quote of “A GRATEFUL NATION HONORS AND REMEMBERS”, both in 24K Gold.

• The top of the slide has been designed with an authentic purple sapphire front sight, modern day Purple Heart Medal, 24K gold ribbon, and George Washington’s Badge of Military Merit and signature.

• Further gold plating with high polishing has been placed along the slide, frame flats, slide, barrel and hardware.

• Each model has been engraved with a special edition number 001of 240 in 24K gold on the rear panel

In addition to these features, each pistol will also be accompanied by an uncirculated West Point Minted National Purple Heart Hall of Honor 2022 Proof Silver Dollar with the West Point “W” mint mark and a certificate of authenticity singed by the Director of the U.S. Mint.

“We commemorate our nation’s heroes who have served and sacrificed their lives for our great Nation,” said Khiabani. “I am elated to pay tribute to those have served by releasing this stunning limited-edition firearm and our SK Give Back initiative.”

SK Customs has partnered with and will be donating a portion of the proceeds raised by the sale of this Limited-Edition production to Purple Heart Homes and Purple Heart Integration Project in addition to a pistol to each foundation for their upcoming fundraisers.
