Built in the United States during the 1980s, this 10/22 Carbine retains hallmark features of the series. The aluminum alloy receiver has the factory left-side rollmark and the top is drilled and tapped with four plug screws. The manufacturer/location barrel warning line is present on the barrel top, consistent with the era.
The 18.5 inch alloy steel barrel has a carbine contour and a non-threaded muzzle. Sighting is straightforward and practical with a ramped front sight protected by ears and a folding rear leaf, giving a clear, traditional sight picture.
Ruger’s detachable rotary box magazine design provides a flush fit and a 10+1 capacity in .22 LR. The semi-automatic blowback action is the proven 10/22 system, valued for its reliability and easy handling.
The hardwood stock features a comfortable pistol-grip profile, a smooth fore-end with no checkering, and a barrel band, paired with a 13.5 inch length of pull. The overall blued/black finish complements the stock for a classic carbine appearance. An uninstalled Ruger tip-off scope base is included for those who want to add an optic using the factory mounting points.
