I visited a pawn shop today that carries some nice firearms but they are priced high. I was just looking around and I saw a 10-22 that was mint but it was a deluxe with 16 inch barrel and the barrel and top of reciever was matte finished. It also had the new type clip release. mI beleive the prefix was 352-. It looked real neat and the guy working did not know if it was a new rifle or second hand. They wanted 275 dollars +tax. What was I looking at.
10-22 I saw in a pawn shop

Assume it's used regardless of what the shop says... but then don't get too dedicated to 'new' often time a used gun is better in the long run than new.
what do you mean by 'matte finished'....
stainless steel look or just the new heavy black paint?
the good news about most Pawn Shops is there is the asking price and the selling price and they are never the same....
Ruger's serial number list doesn't show a '352' it shows 351 as 2008 and 353 as 2009.... so, I'm wondering if it was a special edition for some distributor.... there is no '252' either.... other folks here might know more.....

Ruger doesn't visually show a 352- in their dates of production because their website lists 2008 as beginning at 351-45548 and their 2009 production beginning at 353-24238, meaning they used the entire 352- prefix during regular production in 2008.

By matte finished I mean the barrel is a dull finish not bright . From the reading I have done I was thinking it was a Ruger Compact but I was not sure if they made it in a deluxe. It is definately compact. I am thinking about buying it and if I do I will post a pic.

I like a 16" barrel on a 10/22 and could never find a factory one around here and so have had at least two of mine cut down to 16.25" or close.
Seems like the last one I had done the guy kept it at 16.5 because he said with a folding stock it keeps the rifle legal in most places... something about some stupid rule that a folded rifle still needs to be 26" long I think. I've got one that was 25" folded with a Green Mountain 16" x .920 Barrel until I put tech sights on it.
