Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Heavy Fluted” mean on a bull barrel?
It refers to straight flutes cut into a bull (.920") profile to reduce weight and increase surface area while retaining the stable feel of a heavier contour.
What’s the difference between Sporting and Bentz chambers?
Sporting chambers are commonly chosen for broad .22 LR compatibility and reliable function across many loads. Bentz chambers are often preferred for match-focused accuracy potential.
Is the muzzle threaded for suppressor use?
Yes — the barrel is threaded 1/2x28. Always verify alignment and follow suppressor manufacturer guidelines.
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.

Shoots well. Nice and hefty

Its a shooter!
I picked up one of these barrels as a blem yet couldn't find a scratch on it. I was not happy with it initially but after trying a variety of different ammo and then finding out what action screw torque it likes (11in/lbs), this thing is shoots lights out. This barrel is bit on the heavy side but it handles heat very well. Bestgituone!
