I just bought a used Ruger 10/22 from a pawn shop. Plain jane 10/22 with a synthetic stock. The serial numbers starts with a 0007- prefix and it has the spray-paint looking finish on the receiver. Anyway, the bolt has the Ruger name etched on it. Since I only owned older 10/22s I would like to know if Ruger put their name on the bolt of all their newer rifles, or is this a bolt from a special edition rifle. I'm just trying to determine if this is a franken-Ruger or did it come from the factory that way?
BTW I paid $150+tax for it, and it came with a Butler Creek steel lips 25-rd magazine, and sling (which I took off). The synthetic stock is different in that it had built-in loops for the sling attachments - is that a new thing also?
