Hi all, I just yesterday picked up a new Ruger PC Carbine 9mm model 19126 (Ruger® PC Carbine™ Autoloading Rifle Model 19126). I'm in MA so needed a state compliant version. I have a few questions that I can't answer myself after searching and reading through the manual. Hoping you all can help.
1. The stock is fixed, but I was under the impression that in MA it could be adjusted but then had to be pinned into place after adjusting. The stock has the adjustment lever but I can't seem to figure out what needs to be done to get it to adjust and then pinned again. I only can figure out how to remove it altogether. The manual doesn't mention anything (unless I missed it). The factory setting is a little long for my frame so I'd like to shorten it a bit.
2. The mag is of course 10 rounds. It comes with a swappable Glock mag receiver so I may use it and try to find older MA-legal, pre-ban Glock mags. I'm guessing these are very difficult to come by and I will read the sticky thread on identifying pre-ban Glock mags. However, for the Ruger experts here, I'm also wondering if there are older, pre-ban SR-9 (or compatible) Ruger mags that were made some time ago that might also work and be MA legal. That way I can also still use the 10-rd Ruger mag that came with the rifle. I'm open to go either direction, just never bought pre-ban mags before so not sure exactly where to look.
Thanks!
