Ruger PC Carbine Initial Setup - How Do YOU Get YOUR Gun Ready for Action??
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 окт 2022
- Firearms generally have a very specific use in mind...and that is absolutely the case today...where we look at the Ruger PC Caribine 19116 model in a setup and preparation video. I discuss why, for me, part of the fun of getting my new firearm is learning about it...taking my time before getting to the range to go through it all, test the mechanics, and learn how to get it dialed in for field use.

Good stuff. I always clean the gun and oil it before it’s first shooting. Also, the PCC gun however needs a few part swap-outs with better aftermarket replacements. Swap out the following if you want ULTIMATE reliability with this rifle:
-MCARBO’s A2 tool steel extractor. Ruger’s is too soft and junk. Eventually, it causes FTE and FTF issues because the part has prematurely worn so bad. MCARBO’s is tool steel and does not wear down.
-MCARBO’s Shock buffer. Prevents the heavy steel and titanium bolt from constantly recoiling and striking the aluminum receiver like a jack hammer. Prevents cracking of the receiver, thus prolonging the life of the gun.
-MCARBO’s A2 tool steel bolt head pins. (Again, Ruger’s is mild steel junk, just like their factory extractor).
-MCARBO’s Stainless recoil spring retainer. Ruger’s is thin cheap plastic garbage. Seriously, like WTF???
-MCARBO’s Longer aluminum charging handle. It allows two fingers instead one one. It’s worth it’s price in gold.
-CROM’s PC carbine G-Lock magazine catch. It a polymer-hybrid piece that protects the retention “lip” on a Glock magazine if used. Glock mags used with the Ruger supplied metal mag catch, will eventually wear out the retention lip on the Glock magazine. This is important for California and other “10-round” compliant states, where people have grandfathered hicap mags that they don’t want ruined from the constant metal-to-polymer friction contact created while shooting.
No, I have no affiliation nor financial benefit to either MCARBO or CROM USA. I’m just sharing info to fellow PCC enthusiasts.
I see some negative reviews on that stuff.
One advantage to getting a new firearm in winter is that there is bad weather time to do just what you discuss - learning how it operates and handles, learning how to break it down, maintain it, clean it and reassemble it. Learning about and addressing weaknesses that can be improved upon, thinking about and exploring options for accessories and their mounts. I have spent a month becoming familiar with the carbine and setting it up just the way I want it without yet firing a single live round. Range time will come soon as the weather improves. Thanks for sharing your perspectives on this process.
I mounted a sling, Sig Saur Romeo5, and a light on my home defense Ruger PCC 9. I mounted a Holosun on my HD Glock 19 with light. Works perfectly to have both using Glock mags! I mounted a Holosun HS403R on my Mossberg 500 too. My wife loves her S&W 586 with 38 spl rounds. I also mounted an LPA sights and mounted a Romeo5 too.
All these red dots have the Shake and Wake technology because I do not want to fiddle with the on/off switch in the middle of the night. You get up and you go. I feel if you don't have the Shake and Wake technology, you're not prepared enough.
I always take a new gun to the range before bolting on all the accessories so that I can do a real function check before I go scratching up the slots in case I have to return it.
If the gun has I will shoot to verify or adjust zero with those before adding any optics. That way I know I can fall back on them if I have an optical problem or choose to take it off
I got the PC carbine and PC Charger, but knew right off the bat I wanted upgrades such as folding stock/pistol grip chassis and aftermarket bolt buffer. The buffer makes a huge difference in recoil impulse, and with the already short action of the bolt, these guns cycle so smoothly. The only downside is they’re heavy, but the upside is they absorb recoil better. Pros and cons, as with anything.
I do the same exact thing before ever going to the range. I take it apart to see how it's built, then just get familiar with loading and unloading, then adding accessories. I'm picking one of these up next month.

when i get a new gun i just rip it out of the box, get a feeling for it before i get to a range. Feel it in my hands, understand how it operates, take it apart and clean it from factory coating of stuff. then take it out and put BRASS through it haha.
Well said. I'm basically just like you do, with any new firearm. 👍🏼🤟🏼
Interesting video, good advice, thanks. I have the later "chassis" carbine version with the MAGPUL MOE stock. I added a MAGPUL pistol grip for the storage space (Allen wrenches, red dot sight coin batteries, etc.). UPGRADES->1.) Most MCARBO parts including mini brake, mag release button, extractor, bolt buffer pad, bolt pins 2.) TANDEMCROSS bolt spring, 3.) TACCOM solid Delrin mag well extension and ambidextrous safety levers ( to replace the RUGER push button) 4.) MAGPUL pistol grip, angled forearm grip, MBUS sights, 1/4" high snap-on MOE cheek piece (for perfect eye-to-reticle-alignment) 5.) HOLOSUN AEMS circle/dot sight, etc. etc.
The heart of tis RUGER PCC is its great cold hammer forged barrel. And the trigger group is nice too at 3 lbs. 6 oz. average pull.
Yeah, it's homely looking but like a homely girl who's great in bed the RUGER PC is fun and totally reliable. ;o)
As a former engineer and field technician, I personally like to shoot it before I mess with it. That way I can confirm was this me who messed it up? Or was there a flaw from the factory and I didn’t know because I never tested it first. Great video 👍
Good point...I definitely agree best to not substantially mess with things until proven it is sound from the factory. What kind of engineering? I'm civil...
@@OuterLimitless2 very nice. Biomedical engineering.
@@OuterLimitless2what scope and bipod do you have on it?
You didn’t say much about the car being at all but your set up looks pretty good if this would be good defensive rifle
I will step behind house and at least pop a mag off strait out the box lol and usually within an hour of getting home with new guns 😝
Guessing you are Massachusetts also. Thanks for the vids!
I mounted my light underneath and put my sling mount on the Right.
Red dots and lights are a must. This rifle is almost a twin to my PC. My Olight is way up front.
I am loving the light up front...I have been experimenting with the red dot...it's awesome! I need to fine tune the setup but it's close!
Red dot is not a must. A light, yes, almost a must.
I just won one of these at a local gun raffle. Admittedly, I'm not really a gun guy. I have 2 hunting rifles (mine and my late grandfather's), a 12ga shotgun, and my concealed carry. So the carbine is completely new territory for me. Typically, when I get a gun, I check the mechanics of it first. Then I go straight to the range (aka, the local farm field) and shoot.
With the carbine, understanding what it is and what its purpose is, I will probably shoot it first, see how the iron sights work for me, and go from there. In my head, I feel like I want to add a red dot sight and a vertical grip, but I won't know for sure until I actually get the gun and shoot it.
Nice video, I'd like to see how a video how you zero'd the red dot & adjustments to zero it out using the laser unit that looked liked it fitted in the loading chamber, just a thought.
I field strip, inspect and clean it before i put any rounds through it.
Just bought one this morning
I'm on my 10 day waiting period rn.. how do you like yours so far?
Finally got one. Now I gotta figure out how to mount my Olight Tac on there and take it to the range
Sweet! You'll love it!
I never go to the range, my backyard is the range.
Love my ruger pc
Same.
Got the very first hunting rifle looking model. Very accurate
Traded it for the new model with aluminum handguard.
Both very accurate with open sights.
Set it up with few short rails up front. And a red dot. Threw a suppressor on it and took my wife.
She shoots one ragged hole of a range bag. States
This one’s mine!
So I bought a second one!
😂
@@whereswaldo5740I never thought a 9mm Luger round could be this accurate!!! I have a just right carbine as well and the Ruger is more accurate!
Really like how the red dot sight is able to line up with the green light from the flashlight. Anyone know what make & model the flashlight is?
Do some reloading drills make sure my gear is set up and make sure magazine’s are where I need them
Pick it, clean it, then straight to the range. If it works well, move on to the next project without putting a bunch of "crutches" on it.
I put a holosun 503 and and streamlight hlx with a tape switch. GTG. Irons were pretty much dead on at 25 yards from the factory. I wish they made some type of handrail guard cause those angled slots have cut my fingers on more than one occasion.
I think the red dot is the way to go on this...I have been testing and it's awesome...I love the red dot so far.
Great video, thanks! I’m looking to buy my first home defense firearm and have settled on the Ruger PCC based on the many videos out there but this was the most helpful for a first time owner.
Do you have an opinion on the standard shoulder stock compared to the backpack stock on the basis of comfort and targeting ease for a first time owner?
It depends on your objectives...I personally am not a big fan of the backpacker stock rather than the full hand guard and m-lock options and flexibility you get with from the hand guard. Also, if magpul had the hunter-x version i might be more inclined, but I personally don't see the advantage to the backpacker, but definitely a personal preference decision.
What a ncie little scope you would put it on it for say 50 yards ?
My PC is my go to squirrel buster lol. I wanted to keep it light so I only did five mods.
KAW Valley Compensator
ZhuCROM forend
CROM dual charging handles
Optic of your choice.
*Light of your choice optional*
Still running the steel Ruger mags.
Its not a battle rifle its a plinker...Keep it light, keep it simple.
You shoot squirrels with 9mm? Out of trees? 😮
What kind of light and red dot are those?
FIrst upgrade i can recommend is the extractor. buy the eagle claw and u dont have any stowepipes :)
I keep stovepiping...it's brutal.
@@OuterLimitless2 Tandemkross eagle Claw ;) works like a charm :) gl.
I blast brass just to make sure it's worth setting up. I've had too many duds
Interesting point! I'll probably learn the hard way one of these days! So far so good!
With ammunition prices and inflation today all shots count up.
I definitely agree...my current round of ammo cost me roughly $0.34 each pop. Not cheap...not crazy expensive, but it adds up for sure!
@@OuterLimitless2
I was up in the .75 per each 556/223 round.
Over .50 for 9MM.
I now go sparingly and still buy and hoard up ammunition.💪🏻🇺🇸
Find ammo it will actually run
The pig is heavy and a bipod at the range is a must or resting bag.😎🇺🇸
Yes...this can be a bit heavy...I have not yet used the bipod but probably next range session!
it's considerably heavy for sure. I've thought about ditching it for something lighter but a) I like it too much and b) that's just me being a lazy noodle-arm.
honestly I feel slightly stronger later every time i end up carrying it around for a bit.
@@SpaceMissile
I keep everything I purchase and some relative will get them all.😎
Wonder what kind of red dot or reflex sight is that?
It's fairly cheap. Creative XP...
Where can i get that go pro mount?
I found it on Amazon. Many different styles...I wanted one that would hang off to the side away from my grip and sights
What knife are you using at 3:31?
I think that was the oknife freeze 2 in copper
What light & light mout is that??
Olight Odin GL with mlock mount
The Ruger PC carbine is too bulky and heavy for 9 mm.
How is your flashlight mounted?
That M Lok mounted...
@@OuterLimitless2 Thanks, I was asking really what Brand it is, just to know that will fit my PC, great looking gun btw.
@@TexasCorgiGun gotcha... That's the Olight Odin GL which you can get an mlock or pic rail adapter
@@OuterLimitless2 Thanks for the info
This is a close as we’ll get to owning a Suomi.
And is very close.
I sighted mine in at 25 yards with a red dot.
We got talking about what it would do at a hundred
Had a big piece of cardboard and put a sticker on it. Believe it or not it was hitting in the same spot with a minimally larger spread.
I left it alone. We were all pretty surprised.
Probably not as surprised as the Russians were getting their asses handed to them with 9mms. 😂
You have to prep and clean your weapon before range day. The last thing you want is to look like a rookie.
3:30 what knife?
I think that was the oknife freeze 2
when you start killing a lot of... whatevers... you'll get all that weight away from the end of that barrel. just sayin'
The flashlight is installed incorrectly - a half of light will be hidden by the barrel.
Was not hidden. Where would you mount it?
