Ruger 10-22 Rifle

[RikersBeard]

Can anyone tell more more about this rifle?

My dad passed away and this was one of his rifles at his home in AZ. I'd like to get more information about it. Other than the foldable stock.

It's just stamped Ruger Model 10/22 Carbine. So, is that what it is?

Tried to find out if there is a newer version on Ruger's site. But this one has a pistol grip. Do they not make this any more?

It’s a standard 10/22 with aftermarket folding stock. Maybe Choate or Butler Creek.

Thank you. Can you recommend a non-foldable stock for this? I'm guessing as is, it's not CA compliant, correct?

Sorry...I'm a noob at this.

There are SO many options available for a 10/22, which is a big reason why people love them. Customization on a 10/22 is an endless project.

Here is a simple list of 10/22 stocks from one site: https://www.brownells.com/search/ind...k=10+22+stocks

But keep searching and you will find more and more and more. The 10/22 is a great little rifle. People have been known to put 3-4x the amount of the original rifle into it with customizations.

Looks like any other 10/22 with the exception of the ring on the barrel by the end of the forend.
Clearly it is not the barrel band as that is present.
Interesting camo job too.

Sorry for your loss. There are dozens of stocks for them. I've got a standard wood one you can have for $25 bucks if we meet at the top of Altamont Pass. PAX

Thanks for the info.

As for the camo, I'm not sure if he bought it that way, had someone else do it, or he did it himself.

Should be fun to just plunk targets at a range.

Sorry last question, what about a CA compliant magazine. Would something like this work?

Hmm...I think it is legal as this is being a .22 LR rimfire rifle. However, it would be good to have a different stock at some point.

Lots of Ruger 1022 stocks on Ebay (new and used) and new on Amazon.

Be sure you get a stock for the carbine model not target model. Target model has a fat bull barrel.

Take off the scope, put some Tech Sights on there and choot it!

OP, AW laws don't affect 22lr rifles. Here is one of my 10/22's tacticool'd out. Standard tactical 10/22 with a Midwest Industries chassis system.

The production year can easily be found by using the serial number list on the Ruger website.

+1 for S&P. I got a Charger stock and various components from them to make a faux-Charger 'Other' out of a Brownell's stripped 10/22 receiver. Shipped fast and everything was in tip-top shape.

The stock is an Eaton, they were the original makers of this type of stock.
Eaton sold the design to Butler Creek, who added the rubber plug for the grip cavity.

A folding stock is legal in CA on a rimfire.
Just be sure that the barrel you use is 18" or longer, (standard is 18 1/2") the Compact model 16" barrel will leave you an inch or so short of the Ca minimum folded length of 26" when the stock is folded.
CA measures overall length in the shortest possible configuration.

If it was your Dad's gun, I would leave it just the way he has it and enjoy it.
Looks like a nice set-up.

I agree!! Mags and ammo! That's all it needs.
