Ruger 10/22 Carbine RB .22 LR Semi-Auto Rifle, 18.5" Blued Barrel, Hardwood Stock (2001)
This 2001 Ruger 10/22 Carbine RB represents the classic rimfire semi-auto in its original configuration, complete with an all-metal trigger housing and polished aluminum buttplate found on earlier models. The 18.5-inch alloy steel barrel, hardwood stock, and dependable 10-round rotary magazine combine to deliver the performance that has made the 10/22 a staple for shooters and collectors alike. Its commemorative “Fifty Years” shipping box and excellent overall condition add extra appeal for anyone seeking a clean, pre-2008 example.
The receiver is aluminum alloy with a matte black anodized finish and is both drilled and tapped and fitted with an integral 3/8-inch dovetail, giving you flexibility for mounting optics or using the supplied folding leaf rear and wing-style blade front sights. Ruger’s simple blowback action, cross-bolt safety, and proven V-block barrel retention system round out a well-known platform that remains easy to maintain and highly reliable.

Built in 2001, this rifle predates Ruger’s switch to polymer trigger housings, giving it the desirable metal components collectors often seek. The satin-lacquered hardwood stock offers the traditional feel and look that many shooters prefer over later synthetic versions.
The alloy steel barrel is secured with Ruger’s V-block system, ensuring consistent alignment and easy removal for maintenance. At 18.5 inches, it balances quick handling with optimal velocity from standard .22 LR loads.
Factory iron sights provide a clear sight picture, while the receiver’s dovetail and drilled-and-tapped top let you install rings or a rail without gunsmithing. Combined with a 13.5-inch length of pull, the rifle fits a wide range of shooters.
Ruger’s patented rotary magazine sits flush to the stock, holds 10 rounds, and feeds reliably. The cross-bolt safety and straightforward blowback action make operation familiar to anyone who has used a 10/22.
