The Ruger PC Carbine SBR (Ruger model 39101) is a short-barreled rifle chambered in 9mm with a 6.5″ threaded barrel, 17-round capacity and a six-position Magpul MOE stock. It is regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA), so an approved ATF transfer is required before it can be taken home.
Key Features
- CNC-milled handguard that is Type III hard-coat anodized aluminum for maximum durability, with Magpul M-LOK accessory attachment slots on all four sides for easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible rails and accessories.
- Interchangeable magazine wells for use of common Ruger and Glock magazines. Ships with SR-Series/Security-9 pistol magazine well installed and an additional magazine well accepting Glock magazines is included. Ruger American Pistol magazine wells are available at ShopRuger.com.
- Easy takedown enables quick separation of the barrel/forend assembly from the action for ease of transportation and storage. Takedown is as simple as locking the bolt back and verifying that the rifle is unloaded, pushing a recessed lever, twisting the subassemblies and pulling them apart.
- Dead blow action features a custom tungsten dead blow weight that shortens bolt travel and reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise. Bolt is machined from heat treated, chrome-moly steel to ensure strength, structural integrity and durability.
- Reversible magazine release and reversible charging handle to support left- or right-handed use or one-handed control manipulation while maintaining a proper firing grip.
- Cold hammer-forged, chrome-moly steel barrel with ultra-precise rifling provides exceptional accuracy and longevity.
- Threaded barrel with included thread protector allows for use of standard muzzle accessories.
- Chassis system features a flared magwell for improved magazine reloading capabilities as well as integrated, rear-mounted QD cups.

FAQ
Do I need ATF approval to buy this?
Yes. This is a short-barreled rifle under the NFA, so it transfers on an approved ATF Form 4 and goes through background checks just like a suppressor. The $200 tax stamp for SBRs was cut to $0 starting January 1, 2026, but the Form 4 approval is still required. Call the store and we’ll walk you through the process.
Is the barrel threaded?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 1/2″-28 and ships with a thread protector, so it’s ready for a suppressor or muzzle device.
What magazines does it use?
It ships with the Ruger SR-Series / Security-9 magazine well installed and a second well that takes Glock 9mm magazines. One 17-round magazine is included.
Where can I find more NFA items?
Browse short barrel rifles at Black Bayou Armory, or call the store in Benton, LA.
