RUGER 44 MAGNUM "DEERSTALKER" CARBINE, Made in 1962


Description:
Rare RUGER "DEERSTALKER" 44 magnum semi-auto carbine made in 1962. Sturm Ruger & Co. only made about 3750 of these that were marked "DEERSTALKER" before they had to stop due to a lawsuit from Ithaca Arms. I have only had one other of these and I sold it 40 years ago. One in really good shape is very hard to find as most of these were used extensively for hunting, plinking, and self-defense. I have seen a few that were mint, but most are very well worn. This one is in excellent shape for a 63 year old rifle. There are a few minor small scratches in the stock that you have to look closely to see. There are a couple of shiny wear marks on top of the action. There is a spot at the front of the forearm where it looks as though someone tried to mount a sling stud, but it has been repaired and is hard to see unless you look close. There is a sling swivel stud in the buttstock and another one that has been properly mounted on the barrel band. Overall the bluing looks great. The aluminum buttplate has a few scratches and probably be repainted. The action is smooth and locks up tight. The bore is bright with sharp riflings. 
These 44 carbines are fun to shoot. The recoil is light when compared to a 44 magnum revolver. The sights are original and the receiver and barrel are factory drilled and tapped for mounting a scope. Thank you for looking. Please go over the photos and contact me with questions.
