The carbine features Ruger’s semi-automatic blowback action chambered in .22 LR, paired with an 18.5 in alloy-steel barrel in sporter contour with an unthreaded crown. The metal wears a traditional blued finish that complements the classic profile.
The hardwood stock retains the standard carbine elements: straight comb, curved buttplate, and a barrel band. A sling swivel stud is installed, and the length of pull measures 13.5 in, offering a familiar fit and handling.
Iron sights are factory style, with a banded blade front on a ramp and a folding-leaf rear that is drift-adjustable and mounted on the barrel. This setup delivers a straightforward sight picture appropriate to the carbine’s design.
The receiver is aluminum alloy with a black finish and the left-side roll-mark reading Ruger Model 10/22 Carbine .22 LR Caliber with the Ruger emblem. The top is drilled and tapped in the factory hole pattern, and a one-piece scope base is already installed for immediate mounting of optics if desired.
Capacity is 15+1 using the included Ruger BX-15 magazine. Safety is managed by a cross-bolt safety. This United States-made example aligns with the 10/22 Carbine series and is from the 1980s era, with an approximate 1982 ship year inferred from the serial-number range.
