The Ruger 10/22 Short Barrel Rifle (Model 33001) is a compact, high-performance NFA firearm built on the legendary Ruger 10/22 platform. Featuring a 10-inch threaded barrel, a 15-round magazine capacity, and a durable matte black finish, this short-barreled rifle offers an excellent balance of compactness and ballistic performance. Designed for shooters who want a maneuverable .22 LR SBR with slightly more velocity than ultra-short configurations, the Ruger 33001 delivers outstanding reliability and accuracy in a highly portable package.
Important NFA Notice: This is a registered Short Barrel Rifle (SBR) and is classified as a National Firearms Act (NFA) item. Ownership requires proper ATF registration, payment of the $200 NFA tax, and compliance with all federal, state, and local laws. This firearm is not available for sale to the general public without proper NFA paperwork.
10-Inch Threaded Barrel
The Ruger 10/22 SBR is equipped with a 10-inch threaded barrel, providing a great compromise between the ultra-compact 8-inch models and standard-length rifles. The threaded muzzle (1/2x28) allows for easy attachment of suppressors, muzzle brakes, or other muzzle devices. The 10-inch barrel length offers improved muzzle velocity compared to shorter barrels while still maintaining excellent maneuverability and a significantly reduced overall length. This makes the Model 33001 an ideal choice for suppressed shooting, small game hunting, and situations where a full-size rifle would be too cumbersome.
The Ruger 10/22 Short Barrel Rifle combines the proven 10/22 action with a 10-inch threaded barrel for an optimal balance of compactness, velocity, and suppressor compatibility.
15-Round Magazine Capacity
This model comes with a 15-round detachable rotary magazine, providing significantly higher capacity than many other .22 LR rifles. The Ruger 10/22 rotary magazine is renowned for its reliability and smooth feeding. The 15-round capacity makes this SBR an excellent choice for plinking, small game hunting, training, and recreational shooting, allowing shooters to spend more time on target and less time reloading.
Matte Black Finish
The Ruger 10/22 Short Barrel Rifle features a durable matte black finish on both the receiver and barrel. This non-reflective finish reduces glare in the field and provides excellent corrosion resistance. The matte black aesthetic gives the rifle a modern, tactical appearance while maintaining the classic 10/22 ergonomics that shooters have trusted for decades.
Ruger 10/22 Action
At the heart of this SBR is the proven Ruger 10/22 action. Known for its simplicity, reliability, and accuracy, the 10/22 blowback-operated semi-automatic action has been refined over decades of production. The action is easy to maintain and offers smooth operation with a wide variety of .22 LR ammunition. The compact SBR configuration retains all the benefits of the standard 10/22 while offering dramatically improved handling characteristics.
