Rody's Gun Shop in Newport, NH.
If its a Ruger and the Rody Brothers, Henry and Bill, can't fix it, it can't be fixed.
603-863-3356
PS - I have a 1967 vintage 44 International that has always worked flawlessly, but if it needed to be worked on, the first call I'd make would be to Rody's.

Sharpsman, I have a cousin who dog hunts deer in the Atchafalaya Basin, who loves his River 44. He's taken more than a few deer and hogs with it! A great close range, fast pointing, semi-auto, for running deer! memtb

I bought a new one in 1980 and it was ok but did not feel as nice as the earlier models that had a milled receiver. I wish I still had it . Warehouse foreman where I worked at the time hunted up and down the northeast and killed 30+ bucks with his , he said it stoned them .

They are great little rifle. Mine shoots both the 250 gr Partition and 270 gr GD over 4227 very well. I bedded the stock to the recoil block and added a proper lock washer to the through bolt as mine came unknowingly loose cracking the stock.

I will add that Numrich has loads of parts for them so I bought a set of springs and other parts that might wear.

Not all Ruger 44 Carbines are the same or equal.
That being said Blackheart and gunwizard are self-described gunsmiths and I believe they both reside in the NE.
Don't be bothered by the crossed-eyes. They know their schit.

My 44 International shoots 2 to 3 MOA at 100 yards with every brand and style of 240 grain ammo that I've tried. With the light recoil, it is easy to double or triple tap the target.
One of the few pictures that I have of my Father hunting is one with him and Bearrr264's Father posing with their Ruger 44 Carbines and two big northern New Hampshire whitetail that are on top of a 1966 or 1967 vintage green Jeep Wagoneer. I remember that it was in 1968, 'cause they had so much snow that my Father had to wade out of deer camp and get someone to bring in a log skidder with a blade to clear the road. I was in school, so I didn't get to go, but Bear was on leave between his assignment with the 9th ID in the Mekong Delta and then as an adviser. I remember him saying that the transition from the tropics to the cold of Colebrook, NH, was too quick for comfort.

If I was alive in 1966 I wouldn't hunt with an AR either.

I remember their first ads in the sporting magazines. It had a photo of a guy with a big dead mountain gorilla that he shot with it. Times Have changed.

I bedded the stock to the recoil block and added a proper lock washer to the through bolt as mine came unknowingly loose cracking the stock. I bought one when I was home on leave from the Navy in 1968. My (now) wife's grandfather had one. He took me hunting as a kid and gave me my first job as a teenager. I idolized the man and always wanted one of those .44 carbines. I never got to hunt with it until after I returned from SEA in the early seventies. I killed some deer with it, but never got the accuracy I thought I should have with it. At some point I read a how-to article in Rifle magazine (back when it was a serious shooter/tinker/amateur gunsmith magazine) on bedding the carbine for better accuracy. I did as illustrated, Acraglassed the recoil block to the stock and the gas block up at the end of the fore end. It'll hold well under 2" now. I shoot the same load I use in all my .44 mags: 23.3 grains of H-110 under a 240 grain XTP-HP. I killed my biggest deer and my nicest rack with it. One was a 216 pound 9 point (at 200 yards) and the other a beautiful, long tine, calendar picture perfect 10 point (at closer to 20 yards.) It is a fast handling gun that (for me) always come upon target. Like any gas gun, they have to be kept clean.

I long to throttle a northern Idaho mountain lion with mine.
