Last week i bought a s/s ruger 10/22 with a factory mannlicher laminated stock in sort of an olive green color - sn# 239-80XXX. The dealer thought it was one of a limited ruger production run for a new york distributer, but so far I don't know anything else. Anybody out there know anything?
Also, I'd like to get a good price on a Simmons 3x9x32 AO #1022T Scope with weaver mounts - any ideas?

munroe copper,

As I remember the "factory mannlicher laminated stock in sort of an olive green color", it was a special run for "Wal*Mart" (?) a few years ago...! !

With the SN, you can go to the "Ruger" Site and get the year of manufacture. [see the 'Sticky' Post in the "Ruger - Other" Forum below]

You can also call "Ruger" customer service, and with the SN, they can tell you if it was a 'special run', and for whom...! !
"Ruger": 1-603-865-2442

Or, you can ask over on the Ruger Forum, where the Ruger collectors hang out...! !

For the "Simmons" 3-9x 32mm AO, #1022T Scope, check at Natchez.

Good Luck....! !

PS: Replace the last three digits of the SN with XXX in your Posts...! !

Thanks for the reply - I've been in the middle of moving, so computer time is rare - got the Simmons 3x9x32 1022T from Natchez for $104 and it's a perfect size for this "wallyworld" international stock of mine. Took everybodys advice and went with PC mount and Burris Zee rings - I'll try and post a pic soon.
Also, will get a competition trigger group from Hornet in Fla. - Packed with VQ parts - Can't wait to drop it in.
Ok another question - Somewere I saw a bolt handle for the 1022 that had a black ball on the extended end and now I can't find it anywere - any ideas?

you saw a rifle with the volquartsen bolt in it. they use a nylon ball on their bolt.

Thanks, now this presents another dilema - buy a VQ bolt assembly for big bucks, buy a Hornet speed bolt assembly with VQ parts for $85 or add VQ parts to my bolt for cheaper and am I a good enough shooter to notice the difference in function and accuracy?
Anybody out there experimenting with 1022 bolts?

Send your bolt to CPC, and have Randy do the works to it. I believe it's around $45.00 now. Look at his website, or do a search here for CPC bolt, to get the details.
If you want a bigger better bolt handle, some are using a 22 magnum handle. It has been discussed here recently. Brownells sells the assembly for less than $10.00, shorten the rod to 22lr length, and switch springs. :t
Hope this helps, Andy

Thanks Andy,
Well I got carried away last nite and ordered the extended titanium one from On Target here in Cleveland - Jeez -I shouldn't be such an exciteable guy for 54, but I had a chance to put 400 rounds thru it yesterday for the first time, and I swear it took 40 years off my life.
Everybody has been so helpful at this site, now I just have to settle down and let you advanced guys teach me the stuff.
