Ruger deerfield carbine 99/44 - stock replacement/parts

[BlackBlood]

I have a ruger deerfield carbine the tube fed model handed down to me and it has a crack in the stock. Can anyone point me in right direction for parts. If you have any pictures of your own deerfields please post them

Going to be a challenge to find a stock for your rifle -

"There are no parts and no service available for the below discontinued products that were produced in Newport, NH.

.44 Magnum Carbine Rifles (original model)"

The Ruger Deerfield Carbine has a detachable magazine. It's the earlier version that has a tube magazine and was called the Deerstalker (until Ithaca raised an issue with Ruger over the name). Here's my Deerfield Carbine -

* my mistake, Macon makes replacment stocks, not Boyd's.

My Deerfield Carbine shoots consistent 2" groups at 100 meters. This rifle is just too much fun.

Very cool. Do you know what the twist is?

I have always liked those rifles. Kinda of like a just right combo.

Ruger 44 carbines are perfect, lever or auto, for Deer in the mixed stuff.

The 44 magnum Deerfield Carbine has a 1:20 twist.

Handy little rifles that make big holes in whatever they hit!

Just bought a 1985 manufactured tube fed carbine. Found a picatinny /weaver rail off ebay. Now waiting for my ammo to appear. Also now on the hunt for a Deerfield. Have a WTB in the EE but these fine rifles/carbines are like hens teeth. Thanks for posting info on it Slamfire. Boyd was at one time making a stock for the early style but can't find it there anymore.

Ruger should consider doing a limited run of these as distributor exclusives through Lipsey's or whatever. These nifty little carbines would sell.
