Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Bentz chamber and why does it matter?
A .22 LR Bentz chamber is commonly used for precision rimfire builds because it’s designed to enhance accuracy potential with quality ammunition. As with any rimfire, confirm reliable function with your preferred loads.
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 a few quality match or standard-velocity loads to find what your rifle prefers.
