newer ruger 10/22 materials
25.06
Member Posts: 4 ✭✭
I was about to purchase a 10/22 when I noticed that the ring around the barrel and stock is now plastic. I only assume the receiver is powder coated aluminum.(Or is it?) I put the rifle down upon my discovery, so I didn't check out the rest of the gun very well. I've just nearly gotten over it now, and am still considering buying one. Are there any more surprises in store? I could go back to the gunshop and take a better look, and still overlook something. That is why i'm asking you guys. Any help will be appreciated. thank you very much.

The "ringed finish" on the barrels is probably a tooling mark left from the manufacturing process. A friend of mine was looking at a Mini-14 years ago and saw a tooling ring on the barrel and thought it was a defect so did not buy it. Turns out all mini's have that mark.
Even with the plastic parts now used, I think you will not regret buying one.
