Ruger .44 Carbine

elec1675
Do to some bills from the wifes two major surgeries this last year I'm forced to sell a few of my toys.

The first one I have is a Ruger .44 Carbine I was looking for an approximate value for.

There are no major scrapes dings or marring.

The third pic shows that the bluing is in excellent shape.

The serial number of this gun is 102-xxxx

    Are the Ruger .44 Carbines gas or recoil operated and can lead bullets be used or should I stay jacketed rounds? Thanks.

    The first few thousand or so have I think some collector value - they were called the Deerslayer or some such thing, Ruger stopped making them after legal discussions with another company. Up to serial number 5,000 are considered C & Rs, some may pay a touch more for them. Then there are variations such as full length stock or finger groove stock that bring in a bit more money. But in general I'd say the average Ruger 44s made from the 70s to current should have pretty much the same value - $400.00 or so up to $700.00 I'd guess based on condition.

    You probably should still be able to find one of the "old" models for around $400. But do you really want one? I have one but accuracy isn't great and you have to keep the gas port very clean. Yes, accuracy is good enough for close range deer but I'm lucky to stay in a ten inch pie plate at 100 yards with mine. Also, they don't stand up very well with heavy loads; e.g. 300 grain XTPs. Agree with the light weight and balance but suggest you try to find a "new" model or maybe even better yet Ruger's 44 in the model 77 or model 96. I have a 96 which digests 300 grain heavy loads nicely and is much more accurate than my old model auto. Works really well on large Texas pigs.

    Wait untill the tang on the trigger group breaks,. Zero Parts and it is a pretty common problem. Check the stock thouroughly in front of the magazine feed ramp before you purchase one. This is on the 44's with tubular magazines.
