The Ruger PC Carbine was announced at the end of 2017, and is the subject of the February American Rifleman cover story. And while a few select editors had a chance to evaluate the carbine late last fall before it was announced to the public, American Rifleman's Mark Keefe finally was able to send a few rounds downrange with it during Industry Day at the Range ahead of SHOT Show 2018. See it here, and for more, visit Ruger.com.

Rifleman Q&A: Colt 1860 12-Notch Conversion

"At a gun show, I saw a Colt 1860 Army Richards Conversion with 12 cylinder notches instead of the usual six. The dealer was not sure whether this was original to the gun. Were these extra notches a factory variation or just some frontier gunsmith’s backroom project?"
