The Ruger 10/22 Carbine with black synthetic stock is the weather-resistant version of the classic Carbine. The black matte polymer stock is impervious to rain, humidity, and temperature cycles that warp and shift traditional hardwood stocks. Lighter than birch and lower in cost to produce, the synthetic-stocked Carbine became the most commonly sold 10/22 configuration in sporting goods chains throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
