Overview
The Ruger 22 Charger 4923 is the pistol-configuration 10/22. The 10-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is threaded 1/2x28 from the factory and ships with a thread protector, making the Charger a strong rimfire suppressor host. Standard configuration includes a factory Picatinny optics rail and a forward bipod stud, with a polymer pistol grip in place of the carbine's stock.
Internally the Charger is a 10/22. The same trigger groups, bolt assemblies, BX magazines, and Charger-specific barrels all fit. Owners who want a true ultralight rimfire trainer or a quiet small-game pistol have used the Charger as the host for years.
The Charger is technically a pistol under federal law and ships without a stock or brace. For straightforward suppressed plinking and small-game use it is a strong pick, but verify current availability and configuration before planning a build around it.
