Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Ruger PC Carbine: The Magpul PC Backpacker Stock

Are you a Ruger PC Carbine owner looking to significantly enhance your firearm's portability, versatility, and ergonomic performance? Do you frequently transport your carbine and wish for a more compact, discreet, and secure solution? Or perhaps you're seeking to customize your setup with additional accessories while improving overall handling? The Magpul PC Backpacker Stealth Gray Synthetic Stock, specifically designed for the Ruger PC Carbine, offers a revolutionary answer to these common challenges.

This innovative stock is engineered to transform your standard Ruger PC Carbine into an even more adaptable and user-friendly firearm, whether for backpacking, home defense, competitive shooting, or discreet transportation. It addresses key needs for shooters who value modularity, efficient storage, and the renowned reliability of Magpul engineering.

Designed for Ultimate Portability: The Unique Locking Interface

One of the most groundbreaking features of the Magpul PC Backpacker stock is its ingeniously designed unique locking interface. This mechanism allows the barrel assembly of your Ruger PC Carbine to securely attach to the stock body when the firearm is broken down for transport. This isn't just a simple clip; it's a robust, positive lock that ensures your disassembled carbine remains a single, compact unit. This eliminates the need for bulky separate carrying cases for the two halves, making your Ruger PC Carbine incredibly compact and easy to carry in a backpack, range bag, or even a smaller, less conspicuous case.

Imagine being able to confidently transport your carbine on a hike, in your vehicle, or as part of an emergency kit without worrying about components shifting or rattling. The Magpul PC Backpacker’s design streamlines this process, ensuring your firearm is always ready for deployment while maintaining a low profile when stowed. This feature is a game-changer for anyone who prioritizes discreet and efficient firearm transportation.

Enhanced Ergonomics and Unrivaled Customization with M-LOK

The Magpul PC Backpacker isn't just about portability; it's also about vastly improving the user's interface with the firearm. The stock features an ergonomic M-LOK-compatible handguard. For those new to firearm accessories, M-LOK (Modular Lock) is a highly versatile mounting system that allows for direct attachment of accessories without the need for Picatinny rails, reducing bulk and weight.

With M-LOK slots strategically placed on the handguard, you gain immense flexibility to customize your carbine. Want to add a tactical light for low-light scenarios? A laser for precision aiming? A vertical or angled foregrip for improved control and comfort? The M-LOK system makes these additions quick, secure, and straightforward. This level of adaptability ensures that your Ruger PC Carbine can be tailored precisely to your specific shooting style, mission, or personal preference, whether you're engaging targets at the range, setting up for home defense, or navigating challenging terrain. The improved ergonomics of the handguard itself provide a more natural and comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions and enhancing overall weapon control.

Integrated Storage Solutions: Always Prepared

Thoughtful design extends to integrated storage, a feature often overlooked but critically important for preparedness. The Magpul PC Backpacker incorporates not one, but two water-resistant storage compartments.

1. Grip Storage Compartment: Located within the pistol grip, this compartment offers a secure, easily accessible space for small essential items. This could include spare batteries for optics or lights, a cleaning kit component, or even an emergency fire starter. Its water-resistant seal protects contents from moisture, ensuring they remain functional when you need them most.
2. Riser Section Compartment: A second, equally valuable compartment is cleverly integrated into the riser section of the stock. This additional space provides more room for larger items, such as extra ammunition, a small multi-tool, or other critical gear that might be useful in the field or at the range. The strategic placement of these compartments means you can carry vital accessories directly with your firearm, reducing the need for separate pouches or bags and ensuring you always have what you need within arm's reach. This is particularly beneficial for backpackers, preppers, or anyone who values self-sufficiency.

Adaptable Comfort: MOE SL Butt-Pad and Interchangeable Cheek Risers

Comfort and proper fit are paramount for accurate and enjoyable shooting. The Magpul PC Backpacker addresses this with several key features:

• MOE SL Nonslip Rubber Butt-Pad: The stock comes equipped with Magpul's MOE SL nonslip rubber butt-pad. This high-quality butt-pad provides excellent recoil absorption and a secure, comfortable shoulder purchase. Its nonslip texture ensures the carbine stays firmly in place, even during rapid fire or when wearing various types of clothing. This enhances stability and helps maintain a consistent sight picture.
• Optional Length of Pull Adjustment: For users seeking an even more tailored fit or additional recoil mitigation, the Magpul PC Backpacker is fully compatible with the MOE SL Enhanced Rubber Butt-Pad (Magpul part number MAG349). This accessory can be easily swapped in, adding an additional 3/8" to the length of pull (LOP). This small adjustment can make a significant difference in comfort and control, especially for shooters with longer arms or those who prefer a more extended stance. The base LOP for the Magpul PC Backpacker is 13.75 inches, offering a good baseline for many users.
• Interchangeable Cheek Risers: Achieving a consistent and comfortable cheek weld is crucial for proper sight alignment, whether you're using iron sights, a red dot optic, or a magnified scope. The Magpul PC Backpacker includes both standard and optic-height cheek risers. This allows users to quickly and easily adjust the height of their cheek weld to perfectly align with their chosen sighting system. This adaptability ensures that shooters can achieve an optimal sight picture, leading to improved accuracy and reduced neck strain over long shooting sessions.

Durability and Design: Stealth Gray Synthetic Construction

Crafted from high-quality, durable synthetic material, the Magpul PC Backpacker stock is built to withstand the rigors of real-world use. The synthetic construction offers several advantages:

• Exceptional Durability: Resistant to impacts, abrasions, and extreme temperatures, ensuring a long service life.
• Lightweight: At just 21 ounces, this stock adds minimal weight to your Ruger PC Carbine, preserving its inherent portability.
• Water-Resistant: The material itself, combined with the design of the storage compartments, makes the stock highly water-resistant. This protection is vital for maintaining the integrity of your firearm and its stored accessories in wet or humid environments.
• Stealth Gray Finish: The distinctive Stealth Gray finish offers a modern, understated aesthetic that blends well in various environments. It’s a practical and appealing alternative to traditional black, providing a sleek, tactical look without being overly flashy.
