Ruger 10/22 Carbine .22 LR Semi-Auto Rifle, 18.5 in Barrel, 1996 Production, Silver-Toned Receiver and Hardwood Stock — Inoperable, For Parts
This 1996 Ruger 10/22 Carbine is a .22 LR semi-automatic with an 18.5-inch tapered, non-threaded barrel, a silver-toned investment-cast aluminum-alloy receiver, and a hardwood carbine stock. The factory metal barrel band is missing; a white zip tie is wrapped around the fore-end and barrel in its place. It is inoperable and unsafe due to a destroyed receiver and a bulged barrel and should be used strictly for parts. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics bases, and the platform uses Ruger’s detachable rotary magazine system, though no magazine is included.

This carbine features an 18.5-inch tapered, non-threaded barrel retained by Ruger’s V-block system and equipped with iron sights: a ramped front blade and a folding rear leaf. The barrel and sight setup reflect the classic 10/22 carbine configuration.
The investment-cast aluminum-alloy receiver has a silver-toned finish and is drilled and tapped for optics bases. The action is blowback-operated semi-automatic with a cross-bolt safety.
The hardwood carbine stock is smooth; the factory barrel band is absent. The length of pull is 13.5 inches. The overall configuration matches the traditional 10/22 carbine pattern from this era.
This platform uses Ruger’s detachable rotary magazine system, but no magazine is provided. It was manufactured in the United States in 1996.
