Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a Medium profile over a bull barrel?
Medium contours offer a more balanced feel for offhand shooting and field use, while still providing added stability compared to lightweight sporter barrels.
Will this fit a 10/22® takedown?
This model is specified for 10/22® non-takedown receivers. If you have a takedown model, choose the appropriate takedown-specific barrel.
Is the muzzle threaded for suppressor use?
Yes — the barrel is threaded 1/2x28, the most common rimfire thread pattern. Always verify alignment and follow suppressor manufacturer guidelines.
What ammo will this barrel shoot best?
Rimfire performance is ammo-sensitive. For best results, test multiple loads (standard velocity and match) to find what your rifle prefers.
