Thanks. This is a new rifle - just took it out of the box a week ago. No upgrades. Unaltered 10/22 Takedown, Synthetic Stock, 16.4 inch barrel. Just a curious question. I do know it will have no affect on the shooting - that's on me.
OK, yes I am a noob and this is probably the "dumbest" question ever asked, but here goes...why is the barrel band screw on a 10/22 Takedown so long? Seems it could get snagged pretty easily. Am I missing something? Is there another use for that screw that I am unaware of? Thank you for not...
