The Ruger LC Carbine: Compact Power in 5.7x28mm
The Ruger LC Carbine represents a thoughtful approach to modern rifle design. Chambered in 5.7x28mm, this lightweight platform weighs under 6 pounds and measures just 28 inches overall—making it ideal for shooters who value maneuverability without sacrificing capability.
Design and Ergonomics
Ruger engineered the LC Carbine with a unique bolt-over-barrel design that positions the magazine in the grip. This arrangement delivers exceptional balance and pointability—qualities that matter when accuracy counts. The rifle features:
- Ambidextrous controls including manual safety and reversible charging handle
- Ergonomic bolt release and extended magazine release latch
- Bladed-safety trigger with short, smooth pull and positive reset
- Secure Action fire-control system combining a protected internal hammer with proven reliability
Barrel and Accuracy
The 16.25-inch fluted barrel is treated with black nitride for strength and longevity. The 1:9" right-hand twist stabilizes the 5.7x28mm cartridge effectively. Eight grooves provide consistent bullet engagement.
Sights and Mounting
Ruger Rapid Deploy folding sights are adjustable for windage and elevation, giving you immediate aiming capability. A full-length Picatinny rail accommodates modern optics and accessories. The CNC-milled handguard features Type III hard-coat anodized aluminum construction with M-LOK accessory slots for maximum versatility.
Magazine and Compatibility
The LC Carbine uses the same proven steel magazines as the Ruger 5.7 pistol, ensuring reliability and commonality across platforms. The 10-round magazine comes included.

Each rifle ships with one steel magazine, thread protector, M-LOK QD sling socket, and hex wrenches for disassembly and maintenance.
