I just got my PC4 finally. Had to go through hell and back to get it but I have one now. I cannot wait to shoot it. It has ghost ring sights and I'm going to put a Open Style red dot scope on it. It was a lot heavier then I expected for how small the carbine actually is. Does anyone have one? What are your thoughts on the carbine?
 
BTW, it's missing the rings for the should strap, does anyone know a good place where I can get a couple?
 
Love my PC4's bigtheno. Very enjoyable carbines. I wish Ruger would bring them back, but alas, I believe they would be more tactical. Some more tactical would be fine, but too tactical takes from the character, imo.

One question would be if your gun has the sling mounts or maybe it never had the sling mounts. There was a post about a month or two ago concerning this.

Thanks for the link. Also, does anybody know where I can find a magazine pouch for the stock of a PC4? I've seen them and they hold two clips and fits perfect on the stock. Thanks for any help
 
I have yet to run upon one of butt-stock magazine pouches for sale bigtheno.

I have thought of taking one of the butt-stock magazine pouches for an AR or a M1 and possibly putting in a couple of stitches to split the pouch in two.

This is what you are looking for. Now discontinued, but you might find one on ebay or gunbroker. This is what I had on mine before I foolishly sold my PC4.

I hope they have it. I think I tried ordering from them a while back and they did not have any.

let us know what they say on Monday or Tuesday when I presume your order will have shipped.... I've put one in their 'duffle bag / shopping cart' and would like to have one too.
 
Update, I found my old emails that I ordered the pouch from them in July of 2008, they charged my charge card, but did not ship the mag pouch, and did not respond to any of my 4 emails asking for status. I finally had the bank reverse the charge.

And not realizing it was the same company that screwed around with me before, I ordered from them again in Dec of 2010. And same as before, no pouch delivered. I sent them an email and a fax message, and if no pouch I will have the bank reverse the charges...again.

So far this company USMilitarySurplus.com / Appalachian Tactical has just taken my money, not sent product, and refuses to reply to emails.

So...do not order anything from these guys.

if they have a fax number and it is a true fax machine with paper there is a way to get their attention... but I best not post it here... has to do with black paper and scotch tape...

What Cha do? Tape the paper into an infinite loop, so it wastes an excrutiating amount of ink/paper?
 
I have a friend who got on a buisnesses auto fax system and he called them about 3 or 4 times asking that they not send him faxes every day with their latest specials.... finally that's what he did... tapped out their ink and paper on their fax machine in no time...

won't work with most of these cold call fax serviers now that are sending out the cruise and stock specials... I finally figured out when you call their toll free number to request your fax number be removed... all you are doing is tell them you have a 'good' fax number.

back to the original post... I saw the mentioned mag pouch a couple years ago... seems they were no longer made way back then... but some places still list them... glad I didn't order one from the crooked place mentioned above.
 
Uncle Mike's makes a double mag belt pouch out of black cordura. If you have any access to a sewing mqchine (+ a sewing machine operator) the mag pouch could be sewn onto a heavy duty piece of black elastic, possibly using a shotgum shell buttstock holder. This is a high priority for me for my PC9. I have 3 20 round Mecgar mags that I would like to carry with the carbine.

Wish I had read down further. I just ordered one. :x :x :x
 
Well no reply from them at all.
Going to have the cc card company reverse charges and report them to the BBB.
 
Same here. Currently have the charge disputed. I did a little Google research on this outfit and was overwhelmed with the bad news. Apparently they have never filled an order. I actually called the number that they sent and of course it was disconnected. :evil: :evil: :evil:
 
Just got a letter from my cc company. The charge was reversed. Apparently they could not reach them to even discuss the charge.
 
Waking this up to remind people to look in the classifieds. Hint hint. I'm selling these.

Regards.
