Is a 820- serial number used to designate a 10/22 receiver/trigger group/magazine? I got one on line, never used, came with the complete receiver, complete trigger group, magazine, v block, take down screw, scope base and screws, lock and locking device, manual w/all paperwork, even the Ruger chamber flag. Everything except stock and barrel (which I have). It didn't come with any kind of Ruger factory box. From the markings on the bag it was in it looks like it might have been originally sold by Cheaper Than Dirt.

Just ran across this viewtopic.php?p=1496228

I answered my own question about 2 hours after I posted it. I was rereading my RENE newsletter (May 2012) and I saw where Ruger had started a new prefix for the 10/22's. It is 820. So I figure that it was bought and taken apart for the pieces (stock, barrel, receiver/trigger group).

I had a stock from an old 10/22 that I tricked out (birch but with METAL barrel band and butt plate) and a new barrel from a 10/22 that I modified for a customer (Tactical Solutions threaded barrel, Butler Creek stock, Harris bipod, 3-9x scope, extended mag release, oversized bolt handle; he's going to suppress it for dispatching varmits around his house).

Put the old stock, new barrel and receiver together last night and I'm back to having a plain jane, iron sights plinker 10/22 (which, in my opinion, everyone should have).
