The 10/22 Carbine configuration delivers the proven semi-automatic blowback action in .22 LR with a standard 10+1 capacity using Ruger’s patented rotary magazine that fits flush in the stock. The 18.5-inch tapered, unthreaded steel barrel and blued finish reflect the classic carbine profile.
The hardwood stock features a straight comb, a barrel band, and a smooth, no-checkering exterior for a clean, traditional look. Length of pull is 13.25 inches. Controls include a cross-bolt safety.
Sighting equipment is factory open iron sights: a ramped front blade with protective ears and a folding rear leaf with a stepped elevator for elevation adjustment. This setup aligns with the carbine’s practical, field-ready configuration.
Construction details include the V-block two-screw barrel attachment to the alloy receiver. The left side of the receiver is rollmarked "RUGER MODEL 10/22 CARBINE .22 LR CALIBER" with the Ruger emblem. Origin is USA, and the 114-prefix serial block places it in the 1970s era.
