The carbine features an 18.5 in steel barrel with a recessed crown and a non-threaded, classic carbine profile. Its receiver is aluminum alloy for durability and lighter weight. The black synthetic stock includes molded checkering for grip and a Ruger medallion, while the carbine fore-end and barrel band incorporate a front sling swivel stud.
Sighting is fast and clear with a red fiber-optic front and an adjustable rear sight with a green fiber-optic element. Controls include an extended magazine release and a cross-bolt safety, with right-side ejection. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and filler screws are present from the factory; a scope rail is included for easy mounting.
Chambered in .22 LR and operating via a reliable blowback action, this 10/22 feeds from Ruger BX-series magazines and is listed at 25+1 capacity. The rifle was manufactured in Newport, New Hampshire, USA, and has a 13.25 in length of pull that complements the full-size carbine handling characteristics.
