Up for grabs is a Ruger Carbine semi-automatic rifle in .44 Magnum. Serial number-102-81604. This rifle is in great condition. Features iron sights and optic mounts and a sling. The production date is 1980. No, it’s not a 10/22. It’s a 44 Carbine, the design that fathered not only the 10/22, but Ruger’s entire line of rifles. When the rifle was introduced in 1961, the company called it the "Deerstalker," stamping the name on the receiver. The first factory-produced .44 Mag. rifle, it retailed for $108. Due to Ithaca using a similar name for one of its shotguns, the name was dropped and the rifle simply became the "Ruger Carbine." As Ruger’s line of rifles expanded, collectors began to call it the "44 Carbine" or "Model 44."
