I picked up a walnut stocked carbine today for a good price. The booklet has a '94 printing date. The SN is 115-40XXX. Does anyone know a link to the serial number and year of manufacture for 10/22s? Better, do you just happen to know when this one was made? I'm not sure when they switched to the basswood or whatever stocks instead of walnut, but I think they ran both for a while with a premium on the walnut.

Yes, there was a period you could get either walnut or beech.

So, is this 10/22 going to turn into 10/22itis? I have had my bout with it, now I just look for some of the older models with factory upgraded furniture. Ruger made a few fancy stocks for the 10/22.

I've had the "itis" but have avoided purchasing another 'til this one. There is an unfired rifle model sitting in the rack, too, complete with the checkered stock. Very tempting, but I would want to use it, which might devalue it. Still, it's kind of simmering on the back burner of my wallet.
