The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host.

Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

The '''Ruger 10/22''' is a series of [[semi-automatic rifle]]s produced by [[America]]n firearm manufacturer [[Sturm, Ruger & Co.]], chambered for the [[.22 Long Rifle]] [[Rimfire (firearms)|rimfire]] [[Cartridge (firearms)|cartridge]].  It uses a patented 10-round [[rotary magazine]], though higher capacity [[box magazine]]s are also available.  The standard [[carbine]] version of the Ruger 10/22 has been in production continuously since 1964,<ref name="wood">Wood, J.B., ''Firearms Assembly / Disassembly Part III: Rimfire Rifles Revised Edition'', DBI Books, 1994, ((ISBN|0-87349-152-1)) p.331</ref> making it one of the most successful rimfire rifle designs in history, with numerous [[third-party source|third party manufacturer]]s making parts and accessories for upgrading and customization. The 10/22's [[aftermarket (merchandise)|aftermarket]] is so prolific that a complete 10/22 can be built without using any Ruger-made components.

A [[magnum cartridge|magnum]] version of the 10/22, known as the '''10/22 Magnum''', chambered for the [[.22 WMR]] cartridge, was made from 1998 to 2006. A [[.17 HMR]] version, the '''10/17''', was announced in 2004,<ref>((cite web|title=Ruger Introduces the New Ruger 10/17 Magnum Rifle|url=http://www.ruger.com/news/2004-01-16b.html|work=Ruger.com|access-date=19 October 2010))</ref> but was only listed in the catalog for two years.<ref>((cite book|last=House|first=James E|title=Customize the Ruger 10/22|year=2006|publisher=Gun Digest Books|isbn=978-0-89689-323-8|page=282))</ref>

Custom manufacturers also make "clones" of the 10/22, which are similar in design (most parts will interchange) but built to much higher specifications and costs. The 10/22 barrel uses a unique two-screw, V-block system to attach the barrel to the receiver, allowing for removal or replacement of the barrel, which would ordinarily require the work of a gunsmith.((sfn | Kuleck | 2015 | p=1))

The SR-22 Rifle competes directly with other AR-15 style rimfire rifles such as those made by [[Colt's Manufacturing Company|Colt]] and [[Smith & Wesson]]. The SR-22 rifle boasts an aluminium handguard, adjustable six position stock, and a top receiver rail. Threaded holes on the handguard provide the customization of optional attachment rails.

===22 Charger Pistol===
[[File:Ruger Charger with Swift pistol scope.jpg|thumb|Ruger Charger. Comes with bipod. Shown with aftermarket Truglo multi-color reflexive dot scope and Ruger BX-25 extended magazine.]]

The ''22 Charger'' pistol, first introduced in late 2007, is a [[pistol]] based on the 10/22 action. The 22 Charger originally came with a black laminated wood pistol stock with forend, a ((convert|10|in|mm|0|adj=on)) matte blued heavy barrel, a [[bipod]], and a [[Weaver rail mount|Weaver]] style scope base in lieu of iron sights. Overall length is just under ((convert|20|in|mm|abbr=out)), making it quite large for a handgun. As it has an included bipod it is likely to be used from a shooting bench or table. The bipod attaches to a sling swivel on the stock fore-end and is easily removable. Due to technical features, such as the magazine being outside the pistol grip, the Charger is not legally available in some U.S. states. The 22 Charger was later discontinued.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ruger.com/Charger/Specifications.html |title=.22 Charger Pistol |access-date=2008-01-03))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger-22Charger.htm |title=Ruger's New .22 Charger Semi-Auto Pistol))</ref> It was reintroduced in December 2014, with a brown laminate stock with a M16A2 style pistol grip, 10-inch threaded barrel, picatinny rail, 15-round magazine and adjustable bipod. At the same time a "Takedown" model was introduced with a green laminate stock. Both models were later offered from September 2015 with black polymer stocks.

===10/22 Magnum===
The 10/22 Magnum was produced from 1998–2006 and was chambered for the [[.22 Magnum]] cartridge.<ref name="Magnum Product History">((cite web |url=https://www.ruger.com/service/productHistory/RI-10-22M.html |title = Ruger 10/22 Magnum Serial Number History))</ref>

===10/17===
The 10/17 was announced in 2004 and was chambered for the [[.17 HMR]] cartridge. It was never actually released and sold to the public.

===Silent-SR ISB===
The Silent-SR ISB is a barrel assembly offered by Ruger in 2016, which is available for any 10/22 Takedown, 10/22 Takedown Lite rifles and the 22 Charger Takedown pistol.<ref>https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/tested-ruger-silent-sr-isb/</ref>

[[File:10-22 Jungle Magazines.png|thumb|100px|Two aftermarket 25-round magazines attached in [[Jungle style]].]]

There are many types of magazines for the Ruger 10/22. The standard 10/22 ships with a black 10-round polymer [[rotary magazine]], the BX-1. Ruger has also introduced a transparent [[polycarbonate]] version ("40th-anniversary edition") of the BX-1 called the BX-1CLR, as well as a 1-round version for training and a 5-round version for states or countries that restrict magazine capacities. In 2011–2012, Ruger came out with the BX-25, a curved 25-round [[box magazine]] with a black composite frame and steel feed lips, as well as the 15-round BX-15 box magazine for states that restrict magazine capacities. Aftermarket options include 25-, 30-, and 50-round box magazines; 50-round teardrop-shaped rotary magazines, and 50- and 110-round [[drum magazine]]s.((Cn|date=February 2022))

The standard BX-1 rotary magazine stores the cartridges in a [[cogwheel]]-like holder, rather than stacked as seen in a box magazine. This allows the magazine to be compact and fit flush into the rifle without protruding from the stock at the natural balance point for one-handed carry. The [[bolt (firearm)|bolt]] of the rifle pushes a cartridge from the metal feeding lip of the magazine with each shot, allowing the next cartridge to feed into place. The rotary magazine is also used by the Ruger's [[Ruger American Rifle#Ruger American Rimfire|American Rimfire]] series [[bolt-action rifle]]s, as well as the 10/22-footprinted "Summit" toggle-action rifles produced by Primary Weapon Systems/Vorquartsen.

Not all Ruger 10/22 magazines are interchangeable, and firing a magazine with the wrong type of ammunition can result in a malfunction.<ref>((cite book|title=Instruction Manual for Ruger® 10/22® Autoloading Rifles|date=2015|publisher=Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc|location=Newport, New Hampshire|url=http://ruger-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/_manuals/1022.pdf))</ref>

*((flag|Israel)): The Ruger 10/22 has seen limited use by the [[Israel Defense Forces]] in the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]] as a "less than lethal" weapon for security and crowd or "riot" control purposes in the [[Palestinian territories]].
