I just acquired a "distributor" special (according to the Gun Store) PC Carbine in 9mm with a "Burnt Bronze" stock. The fellows in the store couldn't remember the distributor's name. I'm not having any luck running it down.
The box is no help - I think they used a standard box label to send it into Ca. Box matches the gun by ser. no. but not by stock description.
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Terry T

If it is model 19120 it is from Davidson's but the description is " dark earth". Burnt bronze sounds more like a copper color?

It's not the same tan as the 'dark earth' from Davidson's. I've seen those. Also it doesn't have the 'night sights' on the Davidson dark earth model.
The model number on the box doesn't match the actual stock / gun.

Sorry - adding photos has become a hassle - I was using photo bucket and they now want 'an arm and a leg' to use.

It may be an aftermarket cerakote done by the gun shop or other if the SN matches the box but the description does not.

This is the Talo in "Flat Dark Earth." The lighting is darker in Terry's photo, so they may one and the same? But Terry's sure looks better.

Hopefully you still have the box. What is the model number on the end label?

If you search 'Ruger Copper' on Gun Broker, you'll find several different long guns with this color stock.

10/22 with copper mica stock

Still curious what Ruger's model number is on the end of the box though... will tell us what it is, and probably what distributor had it.
The next thing you can do is plug the serial number into Ruger's website and see what model number that comes back as. It is an instant check and comes back in about 1 second.

Yeah...but not curious about the 10/22. Curious about the PC Carbine.

Terry T... what is the model number on the end of the PC Carbine box?
If it isn't there, plug it in on Ruger's serial number lookup page and let us know what it comes back as.
