We have had our 10-22s about the same length of time.
Five years ago, after decades of simply shooting it bone stock..
Sent the old girl to Randy for a full tune-up.
I've no idea how many rounds have been fired.. never tried to keep track.
But I'd say ALOT.
ONLY thing I wish, is I should have kept the sights.. had Randy round off the front sight.
Filled in the rear dovetail with lead.
(Many years ago) ( it broke , put a scope on , )
It has never failed me. (Other than the rear sight)....but that's ok.. can't see em anyways these days)...As a young man. I carried it everywhere.
It lived in the back window of my old pickup trucks.
Mine are new compared to some in this thread. I've got two, one shipped in 2016 and the other shipped this year. Both are carbines, the older one has a stainless barrel.
My 10/22 started as a Deluxe Sporter but now wears a Shilen bull barrel and a stock from Bell & Carlson. My Wife’s 10/22 action was put into original walnut stock that came on my Deluxe Sporter.

I looked the numbers up on mine and I have a 1967 carbine with a D stamp before serial number, 82 carbine that I received as a kid and who knows how much federal lightning it has ate, 94 stainless color with full length green lam stock, 02 upgraded with green mountain barrel and trigger years ago and a 2012 carbine with plastic stock.
My brother was told by a gunsmith when he had to take his 1022 in for a bad trigger that the rifle was one of the first 100 made. I'm guessing since I haven't shot or seen that gun in 46 years, it's probably a Ranch Rifle, is has a Wood stock and blue metal. Yes he still has the gun. No idea what year it is either, but if it is one of the first 100 made, the year shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
Ruger 10/22 Target( Blued, Laminate Stock) manufactured in 2016. Love it! It's still completely factory stock to include the trigger. One of my favorite squirrel rifles.
1964 Carbine.
Still use it for my Gopher Gun.
Just mounted a Burris Droptine 3X9 to replace the Trashco that I have been using for 30+ years.
Other than that I have only added an Exact Edge extractor (had way to many stovepipes over the years), a bolt buffer, sling mounts, and a different trigger spring along with a 'bubba' trigger job.
The trigger pull was always much harder than it needed to be and is still at 6#.
1970 carbine, walnut Overton stock. Bought it new. Also a 1974 receiver that's in my laminated red thumbhole stock with the Feddersen barrel, Kidd trigger, etc. And a few newer ones.
I've only owned/built a few 10/22s but just picked this one up a couple weeks ago.
Bought it for the cmore but it looks to be a '74 and is in overall good shape. Took it to the range and shot steel with it and my 14yo daughter. Had a blast but it's already stripped down and ready for its KIDD upgrades.
just got back into shooting. Picked up a 1967 10-22. overton walnut stock, great finish, nice carbine. Den of Al
