These weapons are logical choices for automatic conversion because they have proven themselves to be well made, very rugged, maintain a relatively light weight, and are adaptable to many different sighting arrangements. The Ruger 10-22 made its debut in 1964, and has become one of the most popular firearms of its type in the world. When modified to the specifications given, the weapon retains its semi-automatic mode of operation and also allows fully automatic functioning by moving the selector lever into the proper position.
The purpose of this manual is to provide the necessary instructions and manufacturing data required for conversion of the Ruger 10-22, semi-automatic carbine, into a selective fire automatic unit.
