Ruger K10/22-22

Factual Questions
1

Last year I bought a Ruger K10/22-22 at :shudder: Wal-Mart. This is a ten-round semi-automatic .22LR caliber rifle made of stainless steel and having the “de luxe” chequered stock, sling swivels, rubber butt pad, and a 22-inch barrel.

The 22-inch barrel is the thing that makes it unique, as the normal barrel length is 18 inches. I wanted to find a photo of it online so that I could show it to a friend, but I can’t find one. (That is, I can’t find a photo. I was able to find a friend.) I went to the Ruger site, and I can’t find the K10/22-22 there either.

I just bought it because I wanted a .22 and I liked the longer barrel. But now that I can’t find anything on it, I’m curious to know more about it.

Is the K10/22-22 still made? Is it a Wal-Mart specific model? Is it discontinued? Is it a “special edition”?

You can call the factory for information on your weapon. They can tell you when it was made and if it was a special edition.

Do you mean this:

Try a search on Google groups for more info. Just use the search string “k10/22” and you should find lots of info. Seems the trigger does not get the highest rating.

It’s often called the “Wally World Special”. It’s a Special Edition rifle made for sale at Wal-Mart stores. 22 inch barrel, birch instead of walnut stock, stainless. That’s about the limit of what I know about it.

I couldn’t find a picture online either.

MrTuffPaws: Close, but a different stock and mine doesn’t have a bull barrel. I assume the trigger is the same as on the standard model I had back in the '80s. If so, then it should be adequate. I just wanted a plinker. :slight_smile:

Aha. That would explain why I’d never seen it before. (I think I’ve been to Wal-Mart half a dozen times in my life.)

FWIW, I still have that rifle – plus a new blue one I put a Ruger Mannlicher stock on.
