I've had mine for a year or so.

Like most Rugers, the Carbines are heavy, chunky, dead nuts reliable, and reasonably accurate. The Ruger Carbine has a very simple manual of arms, very similar to a pistol. The Carbines accept Ruger pistol magazines, and I've also found some 20 round stick magazines.

Ruger Carbines can be a fun plinking rifle, and a Home Defense gun that's nothing to be scoffed at. Maximum effective range is generally considered to be around 50 yards or so. The ammunition commonality and interchangeable magazines make the Ruger carbine/pistol combo an effective SHTF duo if you're concerned about such matters.

IIRC, Ruger made less than 10,000 Carbines, and they've been out of production for a few years, so they're getting more expensive and harder to find. They've been selling for up to $ 700 on gunbroker.com.

Check out rugerforum.com and look around there for some reviews.

Depending on the trade, and the condition of the Carbine, I'd pursue this.
