Magazine ??????
A Ruger 44 carbine does not use magazines ?????
At least mine don't......
Where does the second, third, fourth shot come from on an autoloading rifle????
The original .44 carbine certainly did have a magazine.....just like the Marlin 1894 has a magazine.....think tubular.
My carbine's magazine was a problem from Day 1 regardless of whether or not it was clean, if it rained, if it was sunny, any day of the week and maybe twice on Sunday, factory ammo, hand loaded ammo, warm weather, cold weather........you get the idea...total junk.
And, as much as I like Ruger.....they were no help either.
After dumping the Ruger, I bought a Marlin 1894 that has been everything that I sincerely wanted the Ruger to be. I like the handgun caliber carbines as I am not really a rifle person. I have rifles in rifle calibers and shoot them some, but I have just never been able to get "into" them for hunting or just shooting because I don't personally find it challenging to make hits on animals with rifle calibers and I don't really get enjoyment out of shooting extremely small groups.
