FS/FT Ruger 44 mag carbine

[331GT]

I kind of inherited this gun, so I haven't fired it or bought any ammo for it. Nice gun, has a few handling marks on the stock. Also has light surface rust on the top of the receiver around the screws. It's a 1970's model with the peep sight. I don't know if the peep sight is correct for this model or not, but I'm sure someone can tell me more about it than Ruger's website.
I can't think of much in the way of trades, but I have been wanting a Henry 22 mag in the lever action....plus cash or other.

This a tube fed version? I've seen the ones with mags but have never seen this model.

This one is a Ruger Model 44RS Carbine. It came with Rear Peep Sight & Sling Swivels. This model differs from the standard Model 44 Carbine which did not have a Peep Sight and had no Sling Swivels.

Nice old rifle, I knew a guy back in the 70s that had one. It was his deer gun and he liked it.

Mags??

I am unfamiliar with this rifle, apparently it has a tubular magazine... I think... I will leave my previous post available for mockery, lol

Yes it is. I think some of the later versions had the 10/22 style mag setup. I have no ammo for it so I'm not sure how many it will hold. Probably 5.

Mag fed (Rotary Mag) model was called the Deerfield Carbine. It’s action was more similar to a Mini 14 / M1 carbine It is a completely different gun produced from 2000 to 2006. It replaced the earlier 44 Ruger carbine which was called the Deerstalker Carbine which had a internal tubular magazine & was produced from 1961 to 1986. The older Deerstalker had numerous versions: Model 44 standard carbine, 44 International with Mannlicher stock, 44 Sporter with Fingergroove Monte Carlo Stock & 44RS Carbine which is the above pictured one.
