What to do with an old Ruger 10-22?

[delta9]

I have a Ruger 10-22 - purchased in 1988. It has a folding stock but I dont have the original 10 round magazine (I only have four 30 round magazines that I know that I cant sell). There is some light rust on the barrel.

I haven't fired it in probably 20 years and don't see myself ever using it in the future.

Would there be a market for a rifle like this? If not, what would be a responsible way to dispose of it?

**Tack weld open folding stock, take apart mags, put in for sale section?**

Just my thought, Im sure someone else chime in if my thought is wrong, just wondering myself and thinking outloud,lol, get more opinons!!

IF you want to dispose of it, I can see that it is properly taken care of for a small fee.

Seriously though, If you were to list it here for sale, It would probably go pretty quick.

+1 to this ....... should go REAL quick on the classified section
Just take it out of the stock and sell it as-is or with no stock .

I'd buy it for the receiver and trigger group.

There are people like me who have brand new take off barrels and stocks. They go cheap.

If you are serious about getting rid of it pm me you number and we can discuss selling it.

DO NOT tack weld the stock. w55 obviously does not know the law. There is no law against having a folding stock on a rimfire rifle! And, if it's an original Ruger underfolder, it's worth a bit on it's own. Check gunbroker to see what asking prices are and what people are actually willing to pay for them. Chances are, your rifle is worth a bit more than you think it is.

To my knowledge, Ruger has never made a commercially available 10/22 with a folding stock from the factory. Now if it does have an underfolder, and basing it on the age of the gun, it could possibly a Federal Ordnance, worth at least $200 by itself. Ramline made some GB style 10/22 folders, but those are rare, and even more expensive. There are also some old folders made by Feather Enterprises and those too will fetch big $$. Now if it's a regular ol' ramline, choate, ATI, Tapco, etc., then it's nothing special. Regardless, a 10/22 is easy to sell. Throw it up in the classifieds for $150. It'll sell in a second.
