Factory configuration matches Ruger MPN 31159 with a blued steel barrel and black receiver. Receiver markings read "10/22 .22 LR — RUGER • NEWPORT • NH • USA," and the barrel carries the standard warning rollmark. Country of origin is USA, and the year of manufacture is 2022.
The 18.5-in barrel is cold hammer-forged with a recessed crown and carbine profile. It is unthreaded and secured to the receiver by Ruger’s V-block system. This setup is known for reliable alignment and consistent barrel retention.
Sighting equipment consists of open sights: a ramped gold bead front and a folding, adjustable rear. The right-side charging handle and ejection port provide familiar 10/22 ergonomics and straightforward handling.
The wood stock features a straight comb, traditional barrel band with an integral front sling swivel stud, uncheckered surfaces, and a black polymer buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.5 in, providing a comfortable fit for a wide range of shooters.
Operation is blowback, semiautomatic, feeding from Ruger’s detachable rotary magazine system. Capacity is 10+1 in .22 LR. A cross-bolt manual safety and aluminum-alloy receiver round out this well-sorted carbine.
