    My opinion only, while I have had the scorpion longer, first time out with the Ruger I actually like it better.

    Recoil seems about the same, neither rifle has a muzzle brake.

    Scorpion
    The CA featureless hurts the handing benefits.
    No folding stock, No stock adjustment, grip wrap, 10rd magazines.
    Trigger sucks, possible welded trigger pack.
    magazine release, hard to use.
    Charging round hard.
    Field strip no tools required.

    I have added HB industries, theta trigger, theta charging handle, duckbill mag release and trigger spring kit. These helped a bit on the above

    Ruger
    CA approved right out of the box.
    Good trigger
    Uses Glock and Ruger magazines.
    Takedown for compact travel
    Charging round easy
    Field strip hex wrench and inch lb. torque wrench.
    Similar to using Ruger 10/22.


    I cannot really find any faults on the Ruger except needed tools to strip for cleaning. Would have been nice to come with a bag like the 10/22.

    For the price of the original scorpion and HB parts. I could have purchased 2 Ruger carbines.

      This is from the guy that runs TACCOM, LLC
      "Ok.....so most of us in here are guys and guys like pictures!! So here is a picture of ALL the Volquartsen parts that will fit and WILL work in the Ruger PC Carbine. I took the liberty of actually crossing out the parts that will NOT work in the PC Carbine. I am sure someone will find a better price , however you can buy the complete Volquartsen lit from MidwayUSA for $138.00 Here is the link"

      Brownells has a better price, also coupons and free shipping.

              Very old news and has been covered here before. So far most, if not all, report that PC Carbine runs like a champ.

                    well if turners is getting stock, that means other places should be too.

                            Thanks a lot for the tip. I called Reed's when they opened on Monday and they said they still had 2 in stock. I went down there right away and bought one. I've been striking out all over the Bay Area ever since I first read about this cool little carbine months ago.
