About the Ruger LC Carbine
The Ruger LC Carbine is a semi-automatic carbine with a side-folding stock and bull-pup-inspired compact design. Originally chambered in 5.7x28mm, it has expanded to include 10mm Auto (30-round magazine) and .45 ACP. Features include a cold hammer-forged barrel, adjustable ghost ring sights, and M-LOK handguard.
The LC Carbine represents Ruger's entry into the modern compact carbine market, offering high capacity and compact dimensions in calibers beyond the typical 9mm PCC.
