Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a suppressor with this rifle?
Yes. The 18" barrel features a threaded muzzle, making it compatible with most .22 LR suppressors and muzzle devices. Be sure to verify thread pitch compatibility with your specific suppressor — the Ruger American Rimfire TB is typically threaded at 1/2"-28, which is the industry standard for .22 caliber. All NFA regulations apply to suppressor purchases and use.
What magazines are compatible with the Ruger American Rimfire?
The Ruger American Rimfire uses its own rotary magazine design and is not directly compatible with 10/22 magazines. It ships with a 10-round flush-fit rotary magazine. Ruger also offers an extended 15-round magazine for this platform. The 10/22-style extended magazine release makes swapping mags quick and intuitive even with gloves on.
How does the adjustable stock system work, and can I use it with a scope?
The Ruger American Rimfire includes two interchangeable stock comb modules — one optimized for use with a scope (higher comb) and one for iron sights (lower comb). Swapping modules takes only seconds by removing the rear sling swivel stud. This makes it easy to reconfigure the rifle as your setup changes, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope base mounting.
