Bought a 1976 10-22 carbine today that is in excellent condition. Not a scratch on stock or barrel. Was trying to get info on value. Has original leather sholder strap but is missing the mag. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

The entire run that year was commemorative. Unless it is NIB with all parts it is valued pretty much as any other 10/22. Even NIB is not that big of a jump.

In a few years as the number of them start to drop value may come up more. It is already worth much more that it was in 1976.

Man, I would love to find one of those. That was the year I graduated from high school.

Welcome!

That's a mighty nice 10/22!

Welcome to the forum.

Meager pretty much nailed it. The fact that it is a "Liberty" gun does not add a lot of value, though that may change at some point. On the other hand, I have been seeing renewed interest in early 1022s, so that may be more important from the standpoint of market value. Either way, I would regard the gun as a keeper.

Same here on both points. That rifle looks almost new....nice find.

I think all the 1976 Rugers are neat, I bought a used 4 5/8" Blackhawk a few years back at a gun show, didn't even notice it, got it home and saw the "Made in the 200th year of Liberty" stamp, and it was like a little bonus that made the gun a little more special
