Description
Some rifles earn their reputation over decades, and the Ruger 10/22 is at the top of that list. This version takes the same blowback action and 10-round rotary magazine that have been running strong since 1964 and pairs them with a Magpul MOE X-22 stock and a stainless barreled action in a clear satin finish. The result is a rimfire that looks sharp, carries easy at 4.2 pounds, and feeds round after round the way a 10/22 should.
What the Magpul MOE X-22 Stock Brings to the Table
The MOE X-22 is one of the most popular aftermarket stocks for the 10/22, and here Ruger fits it at the factory so you skip the upgrade project. You get M-LOK slots along the bottom of the forend for a bipod or sling mount, integral sling loops front and rear, and Magpul's TSP texture molded into the grip so the rifle stays planted even with sweaty hands or gloves. It is a genuine step up in feel from the standard carbine stock without adding weight.
A 10/22 Carbine Built for Real Trigger Time
The 18.5 inch cold hammer-forged stainless barrel locks into the receiver with Ruger's two-screw V-block system, a setup known for delivering accuracy well beyond what most folks expect from a mass-produced rimfire. Iron sights come standard with a gold bead up front and an adjustable rear, and the receiver ships with a combination scope base adapter that handles both Weaver-style rings and .22 tip-off mounts. Whether you keep it irons-only for quick offhand plinking or top it with a scope for squirrel season, the rifle is ready either way.
Controls are simple and proven: a push-button cross-bolt safety, a prominent extended magazine release, and that flush-fitting 10-round rotary mag that just plain works with everything from bulk-pack ammo to match loads. Cheap to feed, soft on the shoulder, and endlessly customizable thanks to the biggest aftermarket in rimfire, this is the kind of .22 that ends up being the most-shot gun in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the barrel on this Ruger 10/22 Magpul model threaded for a suppressor?
No, model 31224 has a non-threaded muzzle. Ruger does make a nearly identical MOE X-22 version with a 1/2×28 threaded barrel if a suppressor or muzzle device is part of your plan. If you just want a clean, classic profile, this non-threaded model keeps things simple.
Can I mount a scope on this 10/22 Carbine?
Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped and Ruger includes a combination scope base adapter that works with both Weaver-style rings and .22 tip-off mounts. That means most common rimfire scopes and red dots can go on without buying extra hardware. The factory iron sights stay usable if you leave the base off.
Do higher capacity magazines work with this rifle?
It ships with one flush-fitting 10-round rotary magazine, and the 10/22 platform accepts Ruger's larger BX-15 and BX-25 factory mags along with plenty of aftermarket options. The rotary design in the included mag is a big part of why the 10/22 feeds so reliably. Factory Ruger magazines are the safest bet for consistent function.
What makes the Magpul MOE X-22 stock better than the standard 10/22 stock?
The MOE X-22 adds M-LOK slots on the underside of the forend for accessories like a bipod, built-in sling loops at the toe and forend, and Magpul's TSP grip texture for a more secure hold. It gives the rifle a modern feel while staying lightweight, so the whole gun still comes in around 4.2 pounds. It is essentially the popular aftermarket upgrade already installed from the factory.
