Upgrade your Ruger® 10/22® Charger™ with a bead blasted blued chromoly pistol bull barrel that packs full-size stiffness into a compact 10" package.

What makes it special

Pistol bull in a compact package: Full .920" bull contour scaled to 10"—gives the Charger™ the stiffness and sighting feel of a bull barrel without a rifle-length profile.
Match-grade origins: Bored & rifled by Lothar Walther (Germany), finished and hand-machined by Tony Kidd, and chambered with a proprietary reamer for smooth, reliable feeding.
Extraction reliability: Precision convex extractor slot keeps the extractor perfectly aligned with the case rim — a tight-tolerance feature that prevents common extraction problems.
Durable, show-quality finish: Bead Blasted blued chromoly delivers corrosion resistance and a premium appearance while maintaining KIDD-level dimensional control.
Improved harmonics & fit: Controlled tenon geometry and finish machining reduce unwanted movement and improve repeatable accuracy for a noticeable tightening of groups.

Fitment & avoiding barrel droop

Barrel droop is caused by an insecure or inconsistent tenon/shoulder fit. We eliminate droop with:

A precise fit between tenon and receiver, with a consistent diameter along the tenon length.
A precisely machined shoulder with a relief cut to allow the shoulder to seat flush against the receiver providing full support.

When properly fitted, v-block screws only need to be snug (~10 in-lb) — tight enough to prevent forward movement without distorting alignment.

Installation tips

If using another brand of receiver clean paint/build-up from the receiver mortise before installing.
Apply a light coat of grease to the tenon to ease installation—use sparingly.
Begin inserting the tenon while aligning the extractor slot. Tap the rear of the receiver with your palm; if resistance increases, use a rubber mallet to fully seat.
Recheck extractor alignment by matching the level of the receiver’s bottom flat with the barrel’s v-block cutout.
Run two magazines through the barrel before evaluating groups, and repeat when changing ammunition brands.
Keep the chamber clean but avoid over-cleaning the bore—excessive cleaning can reduce accuracy. Typical bore cleaning interval~ every 500 rounds, depending on ammo

Love this company

Great product, the quality is superb. Was easy to install following Tony's guide video. Heated the receiver up in the oven (I didn't have any cookie dough ??), it slid on without the need to tap whatsoever. I was over worried and stressed I didn't have the right tools but didn't even need any at the end of the day. Took longer to preheat and bake then required to fit and align!
