Ruger 10/22 Carbine .22 LR, 18.5-inch Barrel, 1975 Pre-Bicentennial, Blued/Hardwood, With All-Pro 4x15 Scope
This 1975 Ruger 10/22 Carbine is a classic .22 LR semi-automatic with blued steel and a satin-finished hardwood stock. It is a pre-bicentennial production example, preceding the 1976 "Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty" rollmark. Notable features include a later-production Ruger polymer trigger housing and guard, a one-piece metal barrel band with an integral sling loop, and an aluminum alloy receiver. An All-Pro fixed 4x15mm scope is mounted on the included rimfire dovetail base, and a Ruger 10-round rotary magazine is provided.

What’s Included
- All-Pro fixed 4x15mm crosshair-reticle scope
- Rimfire tip-off scope rings (installed)
- Receiver-top rimfire dovetail scope base (installed)
- 1x Ruger factory 10-round rotary magazine (face marked '10 SHOT' with metal side plates)
The carbine uses a semi-automatic blowback action with a right-side charging handle and the 10/22's V-block barrel retention system. The receiver is aluminum alloy with a black finish, drilled and tapped at the factory, and carries the left-side model rollmark with the Ruger medallion.
The 18.5-inch carbon steel barrel is crowned and unthreaded, paired with iron sights consisting of a ramp-mounted blade front and a folding leaf rear. A rimfire dovetail scope base is installed on the receiver, with an All-Pro fixed 4x15mm scope secured in tip-off rings.
The satin-finished hardwood stock features a straight comb and a comfortable pistol-grip profile with smooth, uncheckered panels. A one-piece metal barrel band with an integral sling loop secures the fore-end. Length of pull is 13.0 inches, and overall length is approximately 37 inches.
Chambered in .22 LR, this carbine feeds from Ruger's flush-fitting 10-round rotary magazine for a 10+1 capacity. The included magazine is a factory unit with the face marked '10 SHOT' and metal side plates, consistent with the period of manufacture.
Produced in 1975, this pre-bicentennial example predates the special 1976 rollmark. It presents the classic 10/22 configuration with blued finish, hardwood furniture, a later-production Ruger polymer trigger housing and guard, and the practical addition of a mounted 4x optic.
