The carbine features a steel, standard-contour 18.5 inch barrel with a recessed crown, paired with a hardwood stock in a traditional barrel-band configuration. Metal surfaces wear a blued finish, while the receiver is an aluminum-alloy unit finished in black. A metal trigger housing and a sling loop on the barrel band round out the classic 10/22 carbine layout.
Sighting equipment includes a ramped bead front and a folding rear leaf with a stepped elevator, offering a straightforward, reliable sight picture. The length of pull measures 13.5 inches for a comfortable carbine fit.
The semi-automatic, blowback action uses Ruger’s flush-fit rotary detachable magazine system. Capacity is 10+1 with the included 10-round magazine, maintaining the compact profile the 10/22 is known for.
Factory setup includes a receiver drilled and tapped with four holes and plug screws for a scope base. Safety controls are familiar and accessible, with a cross-bolt/manual safety. Built in the USA, this 2003 example reflects the enduring 10/22 formula that has made the platform a staple among rimfire shooters.
