The rugger .44 rimfire is a CA legal pistol grip rifle, so there's 10,000,000 ish Californians interested in buying it. Unfortunately all of them are black and they'd only rob stores with it, causing the state to remove the rimfire exemption from the AWB, thus banning it. This is probably the reason Ruger doesn't bring it back because it'd completely frick all their .22 sales too.
I posted mine above, to me it's the exception to pcc being kinda uninteresting mine came with 3 spare mags a d I intend to buy a 10 rounder. It would.kill my investment but I would not be that upset if ruger starts making them again and hopefully there own 10 or 15 round mags at a better price than 150 smacks
Who cares? Ruger probably still has the tooling and most of their other guns are produced...intermittently, so it wouldn't be any different than their #1 in any given caliber.
They could do an AR in .44 magnum with deagle mags, a magwell adapter, a barrel and a bolt. I bet it would be commercially successful, too, if only because our market will buy fricking anything.
Really to fail in our market you have to frick up somehow. Like charge twice as much as would be comfortably profitable because you think too highly of your invention, or frick up monumentally on marketing and getting associated manufacturers to get on board. Or just be an absolute shit of a personality and get in arguments on the internet. All these things happen, new products that would be awesome die on the vine.
The 44 carbine probably wouldn't be brought back to production for less than between 1000-2000, and although it's semiauto, the big market is lever action, where it wouldn't take off because it's not competitive price wise. I would love to have one but I'd probably never shoot it because I wouldn't be able to get parts anymore.
>go on gunbroker right now >$850 - $1000 for two 96/44s
Why would I pay as much as a Rossi for one? Is this just standard boomer seller shit? What's special about it besides that it takes a magazine as opposed to a magazine tube?
I would be absurdly tempted to buy one and silence it since it's manual action and I already have ~$1600 into a silenced 10/22 plus accessories like a tripod for hunting. Also if they made it in .22 mag I would 100% buy one; I'm getting tempted to buy a .22 mag rifle to silence and I'm looking at Henry's lever action. I don't even know if .22 mag would silence anywhere near supersonic .22lr though. More power, more gas, more pressure I'm sure. Kinda getting off topic/rambly but does anyone here use a silencer with a .22 mag?
It's not so much that they can still get pistol grip ARs illegally, it's that 1 legal sale resulting in a shooting gets the gun store closed down. Most CA cities now do this by default, especially for anything remotely resembling an "assault" gun like the military uses. A modified Ruger .44 is identical to a Mini-14 in an "assault" configuration, this is cop bait.
I want it.
20 round mags would be kino, and I probably could use old gi 30 carbine kit to hold stuff. Honestly would jusy be a larping/innawoods soul gun I’d occasionally take game with. Kino.
I don't care. They could get it right today, sell them for $800-$1k less than Shitfield and it would still be better. I swear I'm going to make a Twitter account just to spam them to do so at least once a week, if not more.
MAKE MY XGI YOU FRICKS!
I added the sling and had my lgs change the front out with a red fiber optic.
I Finna wanna trade out the rear sight for an m1 carbine sight. And maybe try for a scope eventually
you know what you must do

Rather than the Mini-14 based Deerfield, they should bring back the original tubular magazine Model 44, ancestor of the 10/22.
A 357 variant would probably sell very well.
I have been cleaning up a horrendously rusty and pitted one of these for a family friend, and I kind of want to just buy it off him. I don't have a lathe big enough to take a few thousandths off the barrel to get rid of the pitting, so he'll have to settle for just getting rid of the rust and rebluing it if he wants it back now.
Are deer rifles a meme? When I was a kid I would shoot deer in the back of my dads farm with an old British 303 or a bubbaed 1903, old and shitty, still worked fine. I don't know why people need fancy rifles or even a scope, deer are dumb as shit.
You definitely run into diminishing returns almost immediately—the 16" AR you already have or the 10mm Auto/.44 Mag handgun you try to justify with bear defense fantasies are plenty (with the appropriate bullets), and once you step up to .308 and its short action brothers and sisters it's almost overkill.
All this talk about the 96/44 has me thinking. Considering what Samson has been doing the past couple years, if Ruger started making 96/44s again they would be stupid to not make a folding stock for them as well. Decided to make a quick mockup of what it'd look like and damn is it nice. I love my Samson stock on my 10/22 even if an 18" barrel and a silencer on the end really negates a lot of the upside of having a folding stock.
I have no clue. I know that people apparently can and have modified M1 Carbine stocks to fit 10/22s with minimal cutting and filling. If the 96/44 is the same width as the 10/22 you might be in luck if you don't mind some woodworking but I highly highly doubt it's the same. At the very minimum, the barrel is fatter no doubt. That pic doesn't show that I also shopped the cutout for the ejection port as 10/22s have two scoops downwards, not just one. The rear of the stock is also squished down and the stock, IIRC, is stretched and squashed overall (and the forend's front is fake as the samson is cut nearly flush with the barrel band).
You and like two other people would buy it.
I'm one of those, who is the third?
Probably this gay.
if it isn't op.
holy shit that's funny

>Unfortunately all of them are black and they'd only rob stores with it,
they dont use long guns they use sat night specials
they'll use anything that can be kept under a basketball jersey and quickly pulled out. A .44 carbine with a pistol grip is that
>.44 rimfire
uhhh...
>>.44 rimfire
>uhhh...
Yes... It's California
.44 rimfire hasnt been available for purchase in over 100 years
where the frick do you live that you see ".44" and assume "oh that must mean .44 rimfire"
california because California is the only ban state that offers such an exemption
Probably somewhere with decent literacy and they read the words 44 rimfire
>they read the words .44 rimfire
Where? it definitely wasn't in OP's pic which says .44 magnum at least twice
It's a .44 Magnum 10/22, who the hell wouldn't buy it?

bmx 25 mags in 44 magnum would not hurt anyones feelings except coastal israelite libtards
It would hurt me because my erection would last more than four hours and I'd need to see a doctor about it
I'd say a good 99% of people outside of the gays in this thread.

They need to bring back the ruger 96 instead.

>Why would I pay as much as a Rossi for one? Is this just standard boomer seller shit?
When they die, the son they never took shooting will take them to a police buy-back so he can get money to buy Funko Pops.
They will be shredded and then melted down and turned into an uncomfortable park bench.
Unless you save them anon

Jesus frick, you're autistic
You do know where you are right?
I guess it would only cannibalize their Mini 14 sales since nobody else is really making wood stocked semi fire rifles.
I would buy it. Does it have irons on it?
The rear iron sight is right there in the pic anon.
>peep

Why is this suddenly of interest to so many people?
Another case of we didn't know what we had until it was gone.
Why didnt ruger put picrel into production?
>Mega-mini-M14
absent of an explanation i simply blame israel
Ruger could not get it to function right.
I don't care. They could get it right today, sell them for $800-$1k less than Shitfield and it would still be better. I swear I'm going to make a Twitter account just to spam them to do so at least once a week, if not more.
MAKE MY XGI YOU FRICKS!
Isn't that just an M14 with more steps?
>normal-14
>Maxi-14
Picked up mine just b4 new years
you know what you must do
https://www.iqmunitions.com/product/10-round-magazine-ruger-44-mag/
Yup I'm aware of those I'm going to order one here soon, and if it works good order 1 a month till I have 4 of them
sexcellent

Chronic stock cracking at the wrist.
If they would size it in .357 with a tube fed magazine, they’d sell a metric shit-ton of them.
A .357 Magnum carbine is a hoot to shoot. Rossi has seen good sales of their lever actions in .357.
id like one in 327 fed mag for giggles
Rather than the Mini-14 based Deerfield, they should bring back the original tubular magazine Model 44, ancestor of the 10/22.
A 357 variant would probably sell very well.
Tube magazines are GAY
I owned one back in the 1980s. I still kick myself for selling it.
The Deerslayer.
And make the mag go to the end of the barrel this time
I have been cleaning up a horrendously rusty and pitted one of these for a family friend, and I kind of want to just buy it off him. I don't have a lathe big enough to take a few thousandths off the barrel to get rid of the pitting, so he'll have to settle for just getting rid of the rust and rebluing it if he wants it back now.
It's nonsensical to choose an autoloader for hunting game. Just carry a single shot and save 1.5 pounds and have a 4" shorter gun.
Just carry a revolver and save 4 lbs and have a 26" shorter gun.
ruger can flex and do the first semi auto 45 colt. then Deagle industries will have to make a deagle (deagle industries) in 45 colt aswell.
would these be good enough for grizzly defense?
They exploded
because they can't MIM it and have loose tolerances on literally everything.
The Model 44 is better anyways. They should bring back the tube fed design.
And bring back the International version for good measure.
I’ve never seen this version, it’s glorious; I hope the magazine tube runs the length of the forestock
The 4rd tube is universal, even in those Mannlicher style ones that could probably fit something larger.

Is that an M1 in .44 magnum?
Or does the action just look similar?
It's probably very close.
They should bring this thing back somehow. Or work the fixed barrel/telescoping bolt mechanism into the current production PC carbines.

>Already has a Samson Stock.
Was the 96/44 the EXACT same dimensions as a 10/22? I need to know before I go looking for one.
I have no clue. I know that people apparently can and have modified M1 Carbine stocks to fit 10/22s with minimal cutting and filling. If the 96/44 is the same width as the 10/22 you might be in luck if you don't mind some woodworking but I highly highly doubt it's the same. At the very minimum, the barrel is fatter no doubt.

The rear of the stock is also squished down and the stock, IIRC, is stretched and squashed overall (and the forend's front is fake as the samson is cut nearly flush with the barrel band).
No, you'd need to do quite a bit of cutting to facilitate the trigger group of the 96/44 or 96/22 in a 10/22 stock. They're not as close as they look.
