Description

This lot features a Ruger Model 10/22 carbine, an iconic semi-automatic rimfire rifle chambered in .22 LR. This example is configured with an 18.5-inch blued steel barrel fitted with a blade front sight and a folding leaf rear sight. The alloy receiver is finished in satin black and features integral scope mounting points. The firearm is mounted in a smooth hardwood stock with a carbine-style buttplate and a black barrel band. The left side of the receiver is prominently marked with the serial number 253-79449, followed by RUGER and MODEL 10/22 ® CARBINE / .22 LR CALIBER, alongside the Ruger phoenix logo. Barrel roll marks include STURM, RUGER & CO., INC., SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A. and standard safety warnings. This lot includes one 10-round detachable rotary magazine. The Ruger 10/22 is widely regarded as one of the most successful and reliable rimfire designs in history, suitable for target shooting and small-game hunting. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The metal surfaces retain a high percentage of their original satin black and blued finishes, showing minor high-edge wear on the receiver and light surface abrasions on the bolt and barrel band. The hardwood stock is in good overall condition, exhibiting a notable compression mark or dent on the left side of the buttstock along with scattered light handling marks consistent with careful use. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The action appears to function correctly, and the cross-bolt safety is responsive; however, we have not function-tested this firearm.
