The 10/22’s core configuration is here: a steel 18.5-inch barrel, aluminum-alloy receiver, and right-side charging handle with matching right-side ejection port. The receiver carries the period-correct rollmark reading Ruger Model 10/22 Carbine .22 LR Caliber with the Ruger eagle logo.
The Butler Creek wire side-folding stock adds compact storage and handling flexibility while keeping a solid cheek line. It includes molded checkering, a rubber buttpad, and a pistol grip, with a 13.25-inch length of pull. A synthetic fore-end with a barrel band is fitted, and the band includes a front sling swivel stud.
An unbranded slotted muzzle device is installed at the muzzle, complementing the rifle’s 18.5-inch steel barrel. The sighting system remains intact with a ramped front blade and a folding rear leaf, and a 4-screw scope base is mounted to the receiver for adding optics if desired.
Chambered in .22 LR with a 25+1 capacity, this 1990s-era, U.S.-made carbine blends the proven 10/22 action with practical enhancements for range use or small-game duty. The silver-finished receiver and custom touches make this example stand out while retaining the platform’s familiar controls and reliability.
