The Ruger PC Carbine Dead blow action features a custom tungsten dead blow weight that shortens bolt travel and reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise. The bolt is machined from heat-treated, chrome-moly steel to ensure strength, structural integrity, and durability. The takedown is as simple as locking the bolt back, verifying that the rifle is unloaded, pushing a recessed lever, twisting the subassemblies, and pulling them apart.
