Upgrade your Ruger® 10/22® with a 762 fluted blued chromoly bull
barrel that looks as good as it shoots.
What makes it special
Style + substance: The fluted profile is primarily cosmetic on a .22 rimfire, but it gives
your 10/22® a distinctive, high-end appearance while preserving the mass and
rigidity of a heavy .920" bull contour for more repeatable aim and
reduced harmonic variance.
Match-grade accuracy: Bored and rifled by Lothar Walther (Germany), finished and
hand-machined by Tony Kidd, and chambered with a proprietary reamer for
smooth feeding. Guaranteed ½" at 50 yards (5 shots).
Built for reliability: Our precision convex extractor slot maintains perfect extractor
alignment with the case rim to eliminate common extraction problems — a feature
that requires costly tooling and extremely tight tolerances.
Finish & threading: Black bead-blasted chromoly steel with a durable blued finish.
Bull-barrel profile — no muzzle threading.

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
