Ruger 10/22 Carbine .22 LR, 18.5 in Blued Barrel, Hardwood Stock, 1997 Production, Simmons Scope, 2x 10-Round Magazines
This 1997 Ruger 10/22 Carbine is a classic .22 LR semi-automatic with the standard 18.5 inch tapered blued barrel, hardwood stock, and open sights. It includes a mounted Simmons riflescope and two 10-round rotary magazines. Built in the USA, this example features Ruger’s two-screw V-block barrel retention and the highly modular 10/22 design.
The carbine configuration retains the ramped front blade and folding rear leaf sights, a barrel band, and a straight-comb hardwood stock with a semi-pistol grip and black buttplate. The receiver wears a black finish, complementing the blued steel barrel. A 13.5 inch length of pull and cross-bolt safety round out the familiar 10/22 handling traits.
