This semi-automatic blowback receiver/action assembly represents the core of a 1980s-era Ruger 10/22 Carbine. It retains its integral rotary magazine well, right-side ejection port, and right-side charging handle slot. The early-style short magazine release lever and metal trigger housing are consistent with period features.
The investment-cast aluminum alloy receiver keeps weight down while maintaining the familiar 10/22 footprint. A cross-bolt safety with a red safety indicator is built into the trigger housing, maintaining the standard control layout users expect from this platform.
The top of the receiver has multiple drilled and tapped holes for mounting a scope base. The factory rollmarks read "RUGER" and "MODEL 10/22 CARBINE .22 LR CALIBER," adding clear identification to the assembly.
The Ruger V-block barrel clamp is present, and the receiver includes the integral magazine well. This listing is for the receiver/action assembly only and does not include a barrel or stock.
