The Ruger 10/22 rifles are autoloading, recoil operated rifles. The 10/22 Carbine has a carbine style stock with barrel band and is checkered on the forearm, pistol grip and butt plate. The black composite stock is made of a thermoplastic polyester resin, reinforced with fiberglass for strength, durability, and resistance to the elements. The Ruger 10/22 rifles and carbines have a cross-button safety which is located in the forward portion of the trigger guard. The safety can be operated only when the hammer is cocked. This model uses the same ten-shot rotary magazine as the standard Ruger 10/22 rifle.FeaturesPicatinny/Weaver Style Scope Rail MountExtended magazine releaseCombination scope base adaptorPolymer trigger housing
