Upgrade your Ruger® 10/22® with a fluted, blued chromoly bull barrel that looks showroom-sharp and shoots match-grade tight.What makes it special Style + substance: Fluted profile gives your 10/22® a high-end appearance while retaining the mass of a .920" bull contour for stable harmonics and repeatable aim. Match-grade components: Bored & rifled by Lothar Walther (Germany), finished and hand-machined by Tony Kidd, and chambered with a proprietary reamer for smooth 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. Finish & threading: Black bead-blasted chromoly with a durable blued finish and 1/2"-28 muzzle threading (protective cap included) for suppressors or muzzle devices. Guaranteed accuracy: ½" at 50 yards (5-shot group) — proven performance you can trust. Key specs• Fit: Slip-fit for factory Ruger® 10/22® and most aftermarket 10/22® receivers • Length: 18" • External diameter: .920" bull contour (fluted) • Material: Chromoly steel, black bead-blasted, blued finish • Twist: 1:16 (optimized for .22 LR) • Crown: 11° crown + double ring at muzzle; KIDD marked • Extractor slot: Convex design for consistent extraction • Muzzle threading: 1/2"-28 (protective cap included) • Performance guarantee: ½" at 50 yards (5-shot group)Barrel weight• 18" fluted chromoly — 3.0 lbAvoiding barrel droop — our engineeringBarrel droop is prevented through precise geometry and a resistance-fit mortise-and-tenon. We hold the tenon diameter uniform along its length and make the tenon slightly larger than the receiver mortise so the barrel seats tightly and consistently. The shoulder between the .920" contour and the tenon is machined as a clean step (not a ramp) so the barrel sits flush against the receiver and is fully supported. When the fit is correct, v-block screws only need to be snug (~10 in-lb) — enough to prevent forward movement without distorting alignment.Installation & break-in tips• Prep: Remove paint/debris from the receiver mortise before install. • Lubricate: Apply a light anti-seize compound to the tenon to ease installation. • Seat: Start the tenon into the mortise, then turn the rifle over and gently tap the rear of the receiver with a rubber mallet while aligning the extractor slot. • Break-in: Run two magazines through the barrel before evaluating groups; repeat when switching ammunition brands. • Cleaning: Keep the chamber clean but avoid excessive bore scrubbing — over-cleaning can reduce accuracy. Typical bore-cleaning interval: ~500 rounds (varies by ammo).Upgrade your 10/22®Upgrade your 10/22® with a barrel that pairs show-quality styling with match-grade function — proven components, precision machining, muzzle threading for accessories, and a performance guarantee you can trust.
