The .22 LR 10/22 Carbine uses a semi-automatic, blowback-operated action feeding from Ruger’s proven 10-round rotary magazine, giving a 10+1 capacity. The standard front-of-trigger-guard magazine release and cross-bolt safety are consistent with the classic Carbine configuration.
Its 18.5-inch blued steel barrel is paired with open sights: a ramped blade front and a folding leaf rear. The muzzle is unthreaded. The receiver top is drilled and tapped for a scope base and currently fitted with filler screws.
The hardwood stock features checkering on the fore-end and grip, a straight comb, a curved serrated buttplate, and a rear sling swivel stud. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches, providing a full-size fit that complements the rifle’s traditional handling.
The matte-finished, investment-cast aluminum-alloy receiver carries a left-side rollmark that reads "RUGER - MODEL 10/22 CARBINE - .22 LR CALIBER" with the Ruger eagle logo. No barrel band is observed at the fore-end tip, aligning the look with a clean, bandless profile.
Made in the United States, this example represents a classic 1970s Ruger 10/22 Carbine with period-correct features, practical iron sights, and useful included accessories for immediate range use or collection.
