Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Sporting and Bentz chambers?
Sporting chambers are commonly chosen for broad .22 LR compatibility and reliable function across a wide variety of loads. Bentz chambers are often preferred for match-focused accuracy potential. Choose based on your priority: all-around plinking reliability or precision-focused shooting.
Will this fit a 10/22® takedown?
This model is specified for 10/22® non-takedown receivers. If you have a takedown model, select a 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 accuracy varies by ammo and rifle setup. Try a few loads (standard velocity, high velocity, and/or match) to find what your rifle prefers.
