K10/22-22

Is the K10/22-22 the only 10/22 with Rifle stamped on the receiver rather than Carbine?

I believe that is the one made for Walmart. I have one in my deep storage and I know it says Rifle

 

[Highstandardguy]

I guess I should have been more specific. Is the K10/22-22 the only 10/22 model with RIFLE stamped on the receiver?

A second question to this is were the later non-Walmart versions of this configuration stamped RIFLE?

Only the first couple years of K10/22-22 production were rollmarked "RIFLE". Then RIFLE disappeared from the rollmark.

Pretty much, yeah. The early K10/22-22s first couple years are the main ones marked Rifle on the receiver instead of the usual Carbine. After that, Ruger switched it back. Rare little detail if you’ve got one.
