WARNING – LOCKING DEVICES
DO NOT INSTALL
INSIDE TRIGGER GUARD
This firearm was originally sold
with a key-operated locking device.
While it can help provide secure
storage for your
unloaded
firearm,
any locking device can fail. All guns
are designed to fire if they are
loaded and the trigger is pulled.
Therefore,
never install the locking
device inside the trigger guard or
in any way that it can possibly pull
the trigger!
Do not leave the keys
in the lock.
The ultimate responsibility for
secure storage of any firearm must
depend upon its owner and his or
her individual circumstances.
Guns should be securely stored
unloaded
, in a secure location,
separate from their ammunition.
See “Storage Warning”, page 20.

CONSIDERATION OF EVERY PERSON WHO
HANDLES FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION.
This Instruction Manual is designed to assist you in learning how to use
and care for your
RUGER

CARBINE
properly. Please contact us if
you have any questions about it.
Only when you are certain you fully understand the Manual and can
properly carry out its instructions should you practice loading, etc. with
live ammunition. If you have any doubts about your ability to handle or
use a particular type of gun safely, then you should seek supervised
instruction. Such personalized instruction is often available from gun
dealers, gun clubs or police departments. If none of these sources can
help you, write to the National Rifle Association, 11250 Waples Mill Rd.,
Fairfax, VA 22030-7400. They will assist you.
The person possessing a gun has a full-time job. You cannot guess; you
cannot forget. You must know how to use your firearm safely.
Do not use
any firearm without having a complete understanding of its particular
characteristics and safe use.
Remember: There is no such thing as a fool-
proof gun.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The
RUGER
®
CARBINE
is an autoloading rifle chambered for either the
9mm Luger (Parabellum) or .40 Auto cartridges. The correct caliber of each rifle
is rollmarked on its receiver. Use only ammunition of the correct caliber for that
rifle. It is “blowback” operated and uses standard Ruger P-Series pistol magazines
of the same caliber. Retracting the cocking handle cocks the internal hammer
and compresses the guide rod/recoil spring assembly. When the slide is manually
released, it moves forward (driven by the recoil spring), strips a cartridge from
the magazine, if a loaded magazine is in place, and chambers the cartridge. The
slide is held against the chambered cartridge by the recoil spring.
When the trigger is pulled, the hammer is released and strikes the firing pin. The
firing pin indents the cartridge primer and ignites the priming compound. This
ignites the powder in the cartridge case and a great volume of gas is instantly
generated, which acts on the interior of the cartridge case in all directions.

Because the bullet offers the least resistance, it moves out of the cartridge case
and exits the muzzle. The bolt then moves rearward automatically, extracting
and ejecting the fired cartridge case, and at the same time cocking the hammer
and compressing the guide rod/recoil spring assembly, etc., as described above.
Once the trigger is released, the rifle is ready to fire again.
Each time the trigger is pulled and released, the same cycle is repeated until
there are no more cartridges in the magazine or in the chamber.
The rifle will fire if there is a cartridge in the chamber and the trigger is pulled,
whether or not there is a magazine in place! Removing the magazine does not
unload the rifle. Never assume the rifle is unloaded. Visually inspect the chamber
and the magazine each time the rifle is handled to be certain there are no car-
tridges in either.
All models have the same basic operating mechanism and include the following
features with which the gun user should be thoroughly familiar.
