What Is the Limited Edition FF-22 Receiver Kit in Battleship Grey Cerakote®?

The Limited Edition Faxon FF-22 Receiver Kit in Battleship Grey Cerakote® is a billet-machined aftermarket receiver for the Ruger® 10/22® semi-automatic rimfire rifle, finished in Cerakote® Battleship Grey rather than the standard black hardcoat anodize. The receiver is CNC-machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, is dimensionally identical to the standard FF-22 receiver, and is produced in a limited run. It is a serialized firearm and must be shipped to a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL).

The FF-22 is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for the factory Ruger 10/22 receiver (non-takedown models). It is compatible with all Ruger 10/22 OEM non-takedown components — bolt assemblies, triggers, trigger groups, charging handles, barrel assemblies, and stocks — as well as all Faxon Rimfire barrels for 10/22 and most aftermarket chassis systems, triggers, and internals built to the non-takedown 10/22 specification.

The kit includes the Battleship Grey Cerakote® receiver, a chromoly steel V-block with V-block screws (which secure the barrel to the receiver), and a rubber bolt buffer. To complete a rifle build, you will also need a barrel, bolt assembly, trigger group, charging handle, and stock or chassis. Faxon offers the FF-22 Bolt Assembly and a full line of Rimfire Plinker and Match Series barrels designed to pair with this receiver.

Limited Edition Finish

About Battleship Grey Cerakote®

Cerakote® is a thin-film ceramic-polymer coating used across the firearms industry for its abrasion, corrosion, chemical, and impact resistance. Battleship Grey is a light, cool grey with a slight blue cast and a flat matte finish — noticeably lighter than gunmetal or tungsten. Against black furniture, a black bolt, and a black barrel it stands out as a clean two-tone look; it also pairs well with stainless, and it gives a modern, understated alternative to the standard black FF-22.

Only the exterior finish changes. The receiver is machined, inspected, and engraved to the same drawing and the same MBR inspection protocol as the standard FF-22, then Cerakoted. The barrel channel bore, front ring OD, receiver width, cross-pin holes, and bolt raceway are unchanged, so every barrel, bolt, trigger group, and stock that fits the standard FF-22 fits this one.

This is a limited production run. Once the run sells out, the Battleship Grey Cerakote® FF-22 will not be restocked as a catalog item. The standard black hardcoat anodize FF-22 remains in regular production.

What’s Included

What You Still Need to Complete a Rifle Build

The FF-22 Receiver Kit is not a complete rifle. To build a functioning .22 LR rifle, you will also need a barrel, bolt assembly, trigger group (including hammer, sear, springs, pins, and trigger), charging handle, and a stock or chassis. Ruger® 10/22 OEM parts or compatible aftermarket components from Faxon and other manufacturers will work.

Specifications

Engineering & Manufacturing

The FF-22 receiver is CNC-machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum across three manufacturing operations. OP-10 saws the bar stock to rough dimensions (1.500" × 3.000" × 7.250"). OP-20 machines the Picatinny rail, outer profile, barrel channel, V-block screw holes, and cross-pin holes. OP-30 machines all interior features including the bolt raceway, ejection port, trigger group pocket, and engraving.

Critical dimensions are verified throughout production per Faxon’s MBR (Manufacturing Build Record) inspection protocol. The barrel channel bore (∅.687" +.002"/-.000"), front ring OD (∅.940" ±.005"), receiver width (.833" ±.002"), and cross-pin holes (∅.250" ±.005") are checked with Go/No-Go pin gages and micrometers at a frequency of 1-in-10 parts. V-block screw threads (2× #12-24) are verified 100% with Go/No-Go thread plugs. Interior features are measured with Sylvac instruments, height gages, and depth gages. A CMM dimensional verification runs once per shift, and a functional check with a master gage is performed on 1-in-10 parts (with 100% verification on critical assemblies).

The receiver is engraved on the left side with “FAXON FIREARMS / FAIRFIELD, OH, USA / FF-22 / 22LR” plus a unique serial number. Engraving depth is .010" ±.005" per ATF requirements. The limited edition receiver is then finished in Cerakote® Battleship Grey, a ceramic-polymer coating chosen for durability, corrosion resistance, and color consistency across the run.

Compatibility

Barrel Installation & Thermal Fit

The FF-22 receiver’s barrel channel is machined to a tight tolerance (∅.687" +.002"/-.000") to prevent barrel droop — a common accuracy issue on the 10/22 platform where a loose barrel-to-receiver fit allows the barrel to sag under its own weight. Because of this intentionally tight fit, some barrels may require a thermal fit for installation.

To thermal fit a barrel, heat the front ring of the receiver with a heat gun or hair dryer for 30–60 seconds. The aluminum receiver will expand slightly, allowing the barrel shank to slide in. Once the receiver cools, it contracts around the barrel for a secure, concentric fit that eliminates play between the barrel and receiver. This is normal and by design — it is the same technique used on many precision 10/22 builds. The brief, low heat from a heat gun or hair dryer will not affect the Cerakote® finish; avoid open flame or torches.

If you are installing a Faxon Rimfire barrel, the barrel shank is ground to match the FF-22’s barrel channel. Aftermarket barrels from other manufacturers may vary slightly in shank diameter; a thermal fit will accommodate minor variations. The V-block and screws then lock the barrel in position.
