Replacement Stock For Ruger .44 Magnum Carbine???
« on: July 11, 2008, 06:47:25 AM »
I've got an old-style, tubular-magazine Ruger .44 Magnum semi-auto Carbine coming from GunBroker.  It has a cracked forearm and might need repair or replaced. 

I saw some replacement stocks for Rugers (but not the old-style .44) on Midway's website.  The one for the Ruger 96/44 lever-action .44 was reasonably priced at $77.  It might make more sense to just replace the stock instead of repairing it, if you can find a replacement.

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement stock???  Or possibly have one to sell???

I've already looked at a bunch of likely places; Brownells, Natchez, Midway, Midsouth, GunBroker, Auctionarms, E-gunparts, GunsAmerica...
(The major guys like Cabelas, Basspro, Dicks, Gander Mtn, etc don't seem to carry a lot of older parts.)

Any help would be appreciated.

You will probably have to have one custom made as like you I have checked all the usual sources but have never seen one for either the old or new model auto carbines.  On the other hand there are six jillion ones for 10/22s.  Don't know if one of these could possibly be 'adjusted' to fit.

oh how I wish there was one like they make for the 10/22's.

I'd certainly love to have one.
