Ruger 10/22 Carbine 22 Long Rifle Satin Stainless/Black Semi-Auto Rifle – 18.5in

Description

The Ruger 10/22 Carbine in .22 Long Rifle is America’s favorite rimfire—now in a weather-resistant satin stainless and black synthetic configuration. With its 18.5″ cold hammer-forged barrel, durable synthetic stock, corrosion-resistant stainless receiver and barrel, and Ruger’s legendary rotary magazine, this semi-auto is built for plinking, small game hunting, pest control, and all-weather use.

Over 7 million 10/22s sold since 1964 don’t lie. This is the rifle that defined the .22LR semi-auto category—and it’s still the benchmark.

What Makes the 10/22 Carbine Stainless Special

• 18.5″ Cold Hammer-Forged Stainless Barrel: Precision rifling for consistent accuracy. The unique two-screw V-block locking system secures the barrel to the receiver rock-solid, shot after shot. Satin stainless finish resists corrosion, glare, and weather.

• Black Synthetic Stock: Durable, weather-resistant polymer construction. Won’t warp, crack, or absorb moisture like wood. Textured grip panels for secure handling in wet or cold conditions. Ideal for harsh climates and rough field use.

• Patented 10-Round Rotary Magazine: Ruger’s rotor design separates cartridges to eliminate rimlock jams. Flush-mounted for balanced handling and that traditional 10/22 profile.

• Precision-Machined A380 Aluminum Alloy Receiver: Lightweight yet durable. The heart of the 10/22’s legendary reliability—over 60 years of refinement.

• Extended Magazine Release: Drop the mag quickly without fumbling. A small detail that makes swapping mags at the range or in the field effortless.

• Push-Button Cross-Bolt Safety: Positive, ambidextrous safety at the front of the trigger guard. Easy to engage or disengage with either hand, even with gloves on.

• Heat-Stabilized Polymer Trigger Housing: High-tech, glass-filled polymer resists impact, abrasion, and weather. The trigger is smooth, consistent, and holds up to decades of hard use.

• Open Sights Included: Adjustable rear sight and gold bead front sight. Ready to shoot right out of the box—no scope required for plinking or close-range small game.

• Weaver + Tip-Off Scope Base: Combination adapter included for both Weaver-style rings and .22 “tip-off” mounts. Choose your optic setup.

• Made in USA: Ruger manufactures the 10/22 in their American factories. Over 60 years of continuous refinement and improvement.

The 10/22 Legacy

Since 1964, the Ruger 10/22 has been the benchmark for .22LR semi-automatic rifles. It’s the rifle dads hand down to their kids, the first rifle millions of Americans ever shot, and the platform that launched a thousand custom builds.

Why it’s endured:

• Reliability: The rotary magazine eliminates rimlock jams. The action is simple and robust.

• Accuracy: Cold hammer-forged barrels shoot consistently well.

• Customizability: Every aftermarket company makes 10/22 parts. Stocks, barrels, triggers, magazines—you name it.

• Affordability: New 10/22s cost $250–$400 depending on finish. Used ones are even cheaper.

• Timeless design: It just looks right. No tactical gimmicks, no unnecessary features.

• Weather Resistance: Stainless steel and synthetic stock handle rain, snow, humidity, and salt air without rust or warping.

Important Notes

• Ammo Not Included: .22 Long Rifle ammunition sold separately (standard velocity or high velocity recommended; avoid subsonic for reliable cycling).

• Additional Magazines: 10-round rotary mags are ~$25–$30 each. Worth buying a few extras.

• Scope Not Included: Open sights work fine for plinking and close-range hunting. For target shooting or longer-range small game, a 2-7x or 3-9x scope is ideal (Weaver or .22 tip-off base compatible—adapter included).

• Aftermarket Support: The 10/22 has more aftermarket parts than any other rifle. You can customize everything from the stock to the barrel to the trigger. Start stock, upgrade later.

• State Regulations: Some states restrict magazine capacity (10 rounds is legal in most, but check CA, NY, NJ, MA, CT, IL, WA, CO).
