Ruger 10/22 Facts Retrospective

 Back in 2016 I started dedicating the month of March to the Ruger 10/22 rifle, why March? Because it was on March 25th 1964 that Bill Ruger wrote to Jack O'Conner and other gun writers letting them know about his new rifle. Which seems like a birth announcement, it wasn't until then that a working prototype existed, and Ruger felt comfortable enough to share it with the World.

The 1st 10/22, serial #1



I began collecting factoids, tidbits, random trivia and quotes about the 10/22 and posted them every March for 10 years. I am pretty sure I covered everything there is to know about Ruger's first rimfire rifle, but as always if I missed anything, share in the comments section below. Below are the links to the last ten years:
